CLEVELAND (AP) — Julio Rodríguez lifted weights following Friday’s game. He flexed during it.The 2022 AL Rookie of the Year hit a tiebreaking two-run homer into the teeth of a strong wind as the Seattle Mariners spoiled Cleveland’s home opener, rallying for a 5-3 win over the Guardians.Rodríguez connected in the sixth inning for the Mariners, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit in their first road game. The 22-year-old Rodríguez hit 28 homers last season while helping Seattle end its 20-year playoff drought.It was just another big moment for Rodríguez, who has been stacking them in two seasons.“I don’t think any expectations are unrealistic on Julio,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “He’s a unique player. He likes to play. Yeah, he may have a bad at-bat here or there, but he squares it up with that kind of power and the wind’s blowing, he can hit it out of the ballpark.”J.P.

Dozens of vehicles were damaged Friday as a fire burned through a towing facility on the Massachusetts/Rhode Island state line in Attleboro.Officials said the first call reporting the fire came in shortly after 5 p.m. Friday afternoon. Firefighters from Attleboro and Pawtucket, Rhode Island responded. Flames ultimately burned through nearly 50 vehicles. Roughly 75 vehicles parked in the back of Sterry Street Towing and Auto Transport’s facility were damaged. “It wasn’t easy to get back and forth between Pawtucket and Attleboro,” Pawtucket Fire Chief David Cairrao said, noting fences, hills and cars blocking the way in the area. “The companies did an amazing job keeping it from getting into the individual homes,” Cairrao said. SKY7-HD was over the scene Friday, showing burned out vehicles and debris. Speaking later Friday evening, Cairrao said the amount of plastic in the cars involved in this fire, as well as the vehicles’ tires, created “an incredible amoun...NBA play-in tournament: Chicago Bulls head to Toronto to play the Raptors on Wednesday

The Chicago Bulls will face the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday in the NBA play-in tournament.The Raptors lost to the Boston Celtics on Friday to settle for the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference.The Bulls clinched their play-in position earlier this week, with losses to the Hawks and the Milwaukee Bucks preventing them from climbing above the 10 seed.If the Bulls win Wednesday, they would have a road game Friday against the loser of the play-in game between the No. 7 seed Miami Heat and No. 8 Atlanta Hawks. Winning both would give the Bulls the No. 8 seed in the East, and they would face the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the NBA playoffs.The Bulls went 1-2 against Raptors this season, winning the Nov. 7 meeting. The Raptors won the last matchup 104-98 on Feb. 28 after the Bulls collapsed in the fourth quarter, allowing an eight-point swing down the stretch.The play-in game will be a homecoming for Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan, who spent the first nine seasons of hi...Shorthanded Celtics handle Raptors again, will face Heat or Hawks in first round of playoffs

As they finish out the regular season this weekend, the Celtics have nothing to play for in the standings. They’re locked in to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.But they still don’t want to lose.“Regardless of who’s playing, I want to win,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said before Friday’s game against the Raptors.A few inexcusable losses to inferior teams cost the Celtics the No. 1 seed, but Mazzulla has otherwise praised the Celtics’ professionalism throughout the season. No matter who’s on the floor – even Friday’s shorthanded edition – he feels like the Celtics always have a great chance to win, a testament to their depth. Even as they do their best to give their regulars proper rest before the most important games, the Celtics are deep enough to win every night.Friday was the latest example. Without Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon, and at the last moment, Jaylen Brown, the Celtics weren’t the least bit worried. They still had Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Al Horford, R...Winderman’s view: Zeller is Heat’s X factor in Y-Z race against Yurtseven

Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 114-108 loss to the Washington Wizards:– No, not a game with much in the way of meaning or context.– Not with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry and Kevin Love given the night off.– But it did clarify one element that likely did not need much in the way of clarifying:– If the Heat need to go three deep in their power rotation in the playoffs beyond Adebayo and Love, it will be Cody Zeller.– It was Zeller who kept the Heat afloat early.– While it was Omer Yurtseven who again was hampered by early foul trouble.– Zeller’s experiences matters.– He is quality insurance.– Yurtseven figures to see mop-up postseason duty, at best.– As was the case at the end Friday.– And then it will get interesting.– With both to be free agents in the offseason.– So the potential of 24-year-old Yurtseven or the known quantity of 30-year-old Z...Heat rest regulars, fall 114-108 to Wizards to lock in Tuesday home play-in game

There wasn’t much to be learned from this game for the Miami Heat, with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry and Kevin Love given the night off.Except for what comes next.With Friday night’s 114-108 loss to the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena, the Heat were locked into a seventh-place finish in the Eastern Conference, regardless of the result of Sunday’s home finale against the Orlando Magic. That means a Tuesday night home play-in game at the Kaseya Center, the new name for their arena.Win that, and it’s on to the playoffs. Lose, and there is a second-chance all-or-nothing home game next Friday night.Virtually eliminated from any chance of moving up in the standings in light of the Brooklyn Nets’ tiebreaker for the No. 6 seed in the East, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra opted for prudence with his leading men, who assuredly also will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale against the visiting Orlando Magic.Against that backdrop, t...Chicago White Sox pitching gets pummeled again in a 13-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates: ‘It’s just one of those stretches’

Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. thought he had drawn a walk.But Pittsburgh Pirates starter Rich Hill got a called strike, running the count full in a fifth-inning matchup. Robert drove the next pitch just over the right-field wall for his second two-run homer of the game Friday.The Sox had plenty of offense, but a rough week continued for the pitching staff in a wild 13-9 loss in front of a sellout crowd of 39,167 at PNC Park.Bryan Reynolds came within a double of the cycle while driving in six to lead the Pirates in their home opener. It’s the third time in four games the Sox have allowed at least 12 runs.“I don’t have concern with the pitching, I really don’t,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “These guys have done it before, they’ve done it for a while now. It’s just one of those stretches.“Obviously there are adjustments to be made. They’re working on it. But concerns? I don’t.”The Sox (3-5) l...Home showcase: Updated Colonial in Newton

SAN DIEGO -- “He went right into San Diego State with high SAT scores. Smart guy, great boy and his family is devastated," said attorney James Frantz, who announced Friday a lawsuit on behalf of Benjamin Brennan, a former SDSU student.The lawsuit claims Brennan, then a 19-year-old freshman from Pennsylvania, was nearly killed during a hazing incident at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house in April of 2021.Attorneys say during an “initiation ritual,” Brennan was detained by frat members who forced him to consume potentially deadly amounts of alcohol and drugs.“750 milliliters of straight rum -- you're gonna drink that. You have 30 minutes to consume it and by the way, we're going to give you some other things to make it easier for you -- marijuana and strong tobacco," said Frantz.
