KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals could have long ago given up on the season. Would have been easy to give up on Monday’s game against Cleveland, too.Yet despite trailing by two heading into the eighth inning, the Royals kept on fighting. And the club trying desperately to avoid finishing with the worst record in franchise history managed to come all the way back, with Drew Waters capping a two-out rally with a two-run double that sent Kansas City to a 6-4 victory over the Guardians.“It shows we’re capable of beating really good teams,” Waters said, “and finishing the season on a high note.”The Royals (49-102) trailed 4-2 when Kyle Isbel drew a leadoff walk in the eighth against Trevor Stephan. The reliever retired the next two batters before walking MJ Melendez and hitting Nelson Velázquez, which loaded the bases for Michael Massey, whose own walk off Stephan (6-7) scored a run to trim the Guardians’ advantage in half.Cleveland manager Terry Francona ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:32:31 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — C.J Stroud and Houston’s offense took a step forward against the Colts on Sunday.Unfortunately, the defense took a step back in the 31-20 loss that dropped the Texans to 0-2.“We can’t have the back and forth,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We have to be consistent, and that’s the one thing. Be consistent and don’t have self-inflicted wounds.”The Texans allowed quarterback Anthony Richardson to run for two touchdowns in the first quarter Sunday and couldn’t slow down Indy’s offense after he left with a concussion and was replaced by Gardner Minshew.The backup led the Colts to two more touchdowns in the first half to leave Houston in a 28-10 hole by halftime.“Defensively, we weren’t good enough,” said Ryans a former linebacker on the team. “If we want to be a good defense, it all starts up front — stopping the run. We did not stop the run. We did not tackle well. Fundamental football wasn’t good enough. If you want to win games in this league, we’ve got to play better.”The ...

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you've ever looked at the operating hours of bars or clubs in Colorado, you might notice that a lot of them have one thing in common: They close at 2 a.m. or earlier.That's because state law only allows these types of establishments to be open until 2 a.m.But there's actually a way for cities to get around this, and there's one city -- Glendale -- that actually uses it.How some bars in Glendale can open past 2 a.m. In 2011, a law was passed that allowed cities to create "common consumption areas." How the cheeseburger was (maybe) invented in Denver To put it simply, with this law, cities can allow designated common areas outside of two or more liquor-licensed establishments -- like bars -- where people can go and drink alcohol out in the open.You wouldn't think this would open the door for later closing times. However, included in the law is a provision that regulates these common areas from operating outside of what's allowed by state law or "the limitations i...
