SEATTLE (AP) — Switching around the rotation gave Seattle rookie Bryce Miller an extra day of rest and more time to fret about his last start, when he failed to make it out of the third inning. “I had eight days to think about the last one in Texas, so I felt like I haven’t thrown in a month,” Miller said. “But yeah, it was good getting back out there, getting back on track and feeling good.” Miller and two relievers combined on a one-hitter, Ty France, Eugenio Suárez and Tom Murphy homered, and the Mariners opened an important six-game homestand with an 8-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday night.Following a disappointing 2-6 road trip that saw Seattle fall 10 games back in the AL West, the Mariners rediscovered a winning formula of strong starting pitching and a few big swings.“The road trip was tough, but what can you do about it now?” France said. “Just got to keep moving forward and got just under 100 games left, so gotta make the most of them.”Miller was superb, throw...

PHOENIX (AP) — Evan Longoria hit a three-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks withstood Philadelphia’s J.T. Realmuto hitting for the cycle to beat the Phillies 9-8 on Monday night.Two of baseball’s highest-scoring teams kicked off a four-game series by combining for 25 hits, including 10 for extra bases.Realmuto hit a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run triple in the third. He hit a double in the ninth inning to complete the cycle and scored on Bryson Stott’s single to cut Arizona’s lead to 9-8. Philadelphia’s Kody Clemens pinch-hit and thought he had hit a two-run homer off Miguel Castro, cheering as he circled the bases after the ball curled into the Phillies’ bullpen. The umpires ruled it a foul ball, confirmed it upon review and Castro struck out Clemens on the next pitch to end the game for his seventh save. Realmuto put the Phillies up 5-1 with his triple in the third inning, but the action picked up after the teams nearly came to...

Ending animal testing for good

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:54:46 GMT

It is a win-win situation: Developing animal-free safety methods and advancing safety science go hand in hand. Today, better safety science without animal testing is a scientific reality in many cases, but obstacles remain. One of them is that chemical regulations are still rooted in former safety science built on animal testing. To truly unlock the full power of existing non-animal safety science, we need regulatory change.Today’s customers are more astute and more conscious about the products they buy. People want to know what goes into them, where they come from, and what really sits behind the product labels. Is the product packaging environmentally friendly? Are ingredients sourced responsibly? Is a product tested on animals? These are just some of the wide-ranging ethical questions fueling shifts in consumer habits where science is an essential part of the solution.For more than 40 years, P&G has been working together with experts from academia, animal welfare organization...

Why Berlusconi’s death makes Meloni stronger

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:54:46 GMT

When she arrives at Milan’s spectacular gothic Duomo cathedral for Silvio Berlusconi’s state funeral on Wednesday, Giorgia Meloni will be among the most prominent of the mourners. The very fact that Meloni is prime minister — Italy’s first woman to hold the post — owes a lot to Berlusconi’s own influence. He gave Meloni her first big break in frontline politics, making her the youngest government minister in Italian history at age 31 in 2008. Then last year, he was instrumental in triggering the downfall of Mario Draghi’s premiership, convening a meeting of right-wingers over lunch at his luxurious villa, at which they plotted to bring down the government. And again after Draghi’s demise, it was Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party, now a moderate centre-right movement, that allied with Meloni’s far-right group in a coalition deal that put her in power. But aside from being Meloni’s useful partner in the business of gaining power, Berlusconi provided the templat...
