  • Bonino stays hot with goal, assist as Wild defeat Sharks 3-2

    ST. PAUL, Minn. — Nick Bonino had a goal and an assist, Cam Talbot made 20 saves and the Minnesota Wild held on to defeat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Friday night. Mats Zuccarello and Zach Parise also scored for the Wild, who won their second straight. Tomas Hertl and Evander Kane scored Martin Jones stopped 15 of 18 shots for the Sharks, who lost their fourth in a row. The teams face off again Saturday night in St. Paul. San Jose struck first on a strong individual effort by Hertl less than four minutes into the game. Hertl gathered the puck in his own zone, played it off the sideboards to himself at centre ice and skated in alone on Talbot, who let a wrist shot slip past him for Hertl’s 13th goal of the season. The Wild tied it midway through the period on Bonino’s unassisted goal. Bonino pounced on a loose puck in the high slot and fired a quick shot that beat a screened Jones. Bonino has five points in his last two games. Minnesota took a 2-1 lead early in the second. After Victor Rask won a faceoff in San Jose's zone, the puck drifted over to Zuccarello, who beat Jones for his ninth goal of the season and third in two games. Just over a minute later, Parise redirected a feed from Matt Dumba at the goalmouth to give the Wild a 3-1 lead. It was Parise’s third goal in four games and sixth of the year. Bonino picked up an assist on the play. Talbot came up big with eight minutes left in the game as Kevin Lebanc hopped out of the penalty box and had a breakaway that Talbot snuffed out with a glove save. That turned out to be a huge moment as Kane scored a short-handed goal two minutes later to cut the lead to 3-2. Kane poked the puck away from Kevin Fiala at the Sharks' blue line, beat Fiala to the puck at centre ice, skated in alone and beat Talbot over his shoulder for his 17th goal. The Sharks pulled Jones for an extra man with more than 90 seconds left, but the Wild defence held on for the win. — More AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Patrick Donnelly, The Associated Press

  • Coast Guard: 2 more capsize victims recovered off Louisiana

    PORT FOURCHON, La. — Divers searching the site of a capsized lift boat off Louisiana recovered two more unresponsive crewmembers late Friday, the Coast Guard said after another day of frantic waiting by family members worried for the fate of those who went missing earlier this week. Petty Officer Jonathan Lally, a Coast Guard spokesman, declined to elaborate on the latest two found and referred questions from The Associated Press to a local coroner. A Coast Guard statement said commercial divers on the capsized Seacor Power lift boat found the crewmembers. But the Coast Guard said it was not releasing the names of any of those rescued, recovered or still missing out of respect for the privacy of their families. “Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends and loved ones of everyone involved in this tragic incident,” said Capt. Will Watson, commander of Coast Guard Sector New Orleans. “We are using every asset available to us to continue our search efforts.” Rescuers in the air and the sea have been searching for the 19 workers who were aboard the vessel, which is designed to support offshore oil rigs, when it overturned Tuesday in rough weather about 8 miles (13 kilometres) south of the Louisiana coast. Nine remain missing. “Right now, we’re hoping for a miracle,” said Steven Walcott, brother of missing worker Gregory Walcott. Six people were rescued Tuesday shortly after the vessel capsized, and one body was recovered from the water Wednesday. A second body was found Thursday night, according to a Coast Guard news release. The boat has three legs designed to extend to the sea floor and raise the ship so it can serve as a platform for nearby rigs. The hope of loved ones is that those still missing have found air pockets to survive inside the ship. But authorities haven't reported any contact with anyone inside the ship since Tuesday. On Thursday, searchers knocked on the ship’s hull without response. Meanwhile, feelings of shock and worry were turning to frustration and anger for families of the missing. “It just keeps going on and on,” said Frank Boeckl, whose nephew, Larry Warren, was among the missing workers. “They need more divers in that water, and every family feels this way. It’s not just me.” Time is of the essence because any air pockets will eventually become depleted of oxygen, said Mauritius Bell, diving safety officer at the California Academy of Sciences: “At some point, it’s not survivable.” Divers had gone into the water Friday but came back up at mid-morning as the weather became too dangerous to continue, the Coast Guard said in a news release. They then resumed diving Friday afternoon, and the Coast Guard said they would continue the searching through the night, weather permitting. Steven Walcott said the dive teams should have been working through the night already. “It was more complicated than it should have been,” said Walcott, who like his brother has worked on lift boats for more than 20 years. But he said he was trying to remain optimistic, knowing his brother would do what he needed to survive, but it was getting harder with each passing day. “We’re just keeping hope,” he said. Two of the missing workers had been communicating with rescuers by two-way radio Tuesday after the ungainly platform ship flipped over in hurricane-force winds that day. They were spotted clinging to the overturned hull but returned to seek shelter inside after a third man fell into the water and was lost. Lafourche Parish Coroner John King identified the second lift boat worker found dead as 69-year-old Ernest Williams of Arnaudville, according to The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate. The other person found dead was David Ledet, a 63-year-old captain from Thibodaux. Relatives of the missing have gathered at Port Fourchon, a sprawling base for much of the offshore oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico. The port, busy with cranes, cargo and heavy equipment, is where workers from across Louisiana and beyond load up on a fleet of helicopters and ships that take them to the rigs for long stretches of work. “It’s nerve-wracking” for relatives waiting for news, said Chett Chiasson, executive director of the Lafourche Parish port, where families of the workers gathered Friday for a briefing on rescue efforts. “Obviously there’s some frustration there, not knowing about their loved one and not hearing from their loved one,” he said. At the same time, he said: “There’s still some hope there.” ___ Martin contributed from Woodstock, Georgia. Associated Press reporters Janet McConnaughey and Rebecca Santana contributed to this report. ___ This story has been corrected to show that the second body was found on Thursday night, not Friday.

  • Towns scores 24, helps Timberwolves beat Heat 119-111

    MINNEAPOLIS — Karl-Anthony Towns scored 24 points, including eight in the fourth quarter before fouling out, to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 119-111 win against the Miami Heat on Friday night. Ricky Rubio added 17 points and Naz Reid scored 16 off the bench as Minnesota had seven players score in double-figures to overcome 21 turnovers. Towns keyed a 22-6 run midway through the fourth as the Timberwolves pulled away. After consecutive losses at home by at least 25 points to Brooklyn and Milwaukee, Minnesota faced another Eastern Conference playoff contender. The Timberwolves finished strong to win for just the second time in six games, a stretch against all East teams. Jimmy Butler had 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but Miami lost its third straight game, all coming on the road. Trevor Ariza scored a season-high 21 points for the Heat, who started the night seventh in the East and a half-game ahead of Charlotte. Miami appeared ready to put away the Wolves, the West’s worst team at the start of the day. The Heat finished the third quarter on a 15-5 and led by five points with Goran Dragic hitting a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Towns didn’t let Minnesota fade away. He finished the pivotal fourth-quarter run with a deep 3 and walked back up the court holding out three fingers to the hometown crowd. TIP-INS Heat: G Victor Oladipo missed his fourth straight game with right knee soreness. ... Butler, the former Timberwolves star who forced his way out with a trade, was booed loudly the first time he touched the ball by the limited fans in attendance. ... Butler recorded multiple steals for the ninth straight game, setting a franchise record and extending the longest streak of his career. Sherman Douglas had eight consecutive such games in 1990. Timberwolves: G Jaylen Nowell missed the game with a right tibia contusion. ... Towns extended his streak of games with a 3 to 70 games, the longest stretch by a player in franchise history. ... Edwards had a steal for the 25th straight game, the longest active streak in the NBA, and longest by a rookie in team history. The NBA record for a rookie is 31 straight games by Chris Paul in 2005-06. JOINT FUNDRAISER The Timberwolves and Heat agreed to auction their pregame “With Liberty and Justice FOR ALL” warmup shirts to raise money for The Daunte Wright Memorial Fund. Wright was the Black man fatally shot by a police officer on April 11 in a nearby suburb. The Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks – the previous two teams to play in Minnesota – along with the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx joined the cause. Each shirt will be autographed by players. The auction ran concurrently on the Timberwolves’ website during Friday’s game. UP NEXT Heat: Host the Nets on Sunday. Timberwolves: Travel to Los Angeles to play the Clippers on Sunday. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Brian Hall, The Associated Press

  • Rays dominate Yankees 8-2 in matchup of AL East strugglers

    NEW YORK — Brandon Lowe hit a two-run double in the first inning off opener Nick Nelson, and the AL champion Tampa Bay Rays kept up their domination of the New York Yankees with a 8-2 win Friday night that set off frustrated fans who caused a brief interruption. Tampa Bay arrived in New York with eight defeats in 11 games and had not held a lead in 25 innings. The young, athletic Rays spurted to an 8-0, seventh-inning lead and beat the Yankees for the 16th time in their last 21 meetings, including during last year’s Division Series. New York dropped to 5-8 and managed a triple crown of failed pitching, hitting and fielding. The Yankees walked seven Rays, had just three hits, struck out 14 times and made three errors that led to three unearned runs. The game was stopped for about 2 minutes, 15 seconds with Clint Frazier batting in the bottom of the eighth when about a half-dozen balls were thrown on the field from the pandemic-limited crowd of 10,202 on a cool, breezy night with a 45-degree temperature at game time. Michael Wacha (1-1) lowered his ERA from 7.00 to 4.20, allowing one hit in six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and two walks. Frazier was 0 for 3 with three strikeouts and has no RBIs in 63 plate appearances this year. Aaron Hicks was 0 for 3, dropping to 2 for 26 (.077) left-handed this season. And AL batting champion DJ LeMahieu was 0 for 4, ending his 23-game regular-season hitting streak against the Rays. Third baseman Gio Urshela allowed Willy Adames’ grounder to bounce off his glove for a run-scoring error in the four-run fifth, and second baseman Rougned Odor threw past first on what should have been an inning-ending double play grounder by Randy Arozarena, allowing two more runs. Nelson (0-2) was no more effective than the previous time manager Aaron Boone used an opener, when Deivi García started Game 2 last year against the Rays and was followed by J.A. Happ in a 7-5 loss. Gerrit Cole, who starts Sunday’s series finale, is 2-0 with a 1.47 ERA, allowing three runs in 18 1/3 innings over three appearances. The rest of New York’s starters are 1-5 with a 6.45 ERA, giving up 27 runs in 37 2/3 innings. Tampa Bay had runners in each of the first six innings. Mike Zunino added a two-run double, one four soft hits in the sixth off Lucas Luetge, who fired his glove at the bench when he reached the dugout. Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Trevor Richards. ANOTHER PLUNKED Michael King hit Lowe on a forearm with 90.6 mph cutter leading off the third, the sixth batter, including five Rays, hit in four games between the teams this year. Nelson hit Zunino in last weekend’s series opener, Justin Wilson hit Joey Wendle on Saturday and Jordan Montgomery hit Austin Meadows twice on Sunday, when Cody Reed hit Hicks. Last Sept. 1, Masahiro Tanaka hit Wendle, and Aroldis Chapman threw a 101 mph pitch near the head of Mike Brosseau, earning a suspension for the first two games of this season. FIELDING FOIBLES New York has had three or more errors five times in its last 28 regular-season games dating to last season. Honouring ROBINSON Because the teams were off Thursday, all players wore No. 42 to honour the 74th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the major league colour barrier. Aaron Judge wore spikes colored Dodger blue with No. 42 on the sides. TRAINER’S ROOM Rays: OF Kevin Kiermaier, out since April 5 with a strained left quadriceps, will be evaluated after he works out pregame Saturday, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. ... C Kevan Smith’s back is better and he could be activated from the taxi squad if needed. UP NEXT LHP Jordan Montgomery (1-0) starts Saturday for the Yankees against RHP Tyler Glasnow (1-0), who struck out a career-high 14 at Texas on Monday, allowing two hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings. Glasnow recalled his pre-pandemic time in the Big Apple. “Usually, every time I’d come to New York before COVID, I would always go to Washington Square and play chess,” he said Friday. “I would just go to the park and get beat by all the chess players. But it’s still fun. The ones that look the worst are always the best.” ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Ronald Blum, The Associated Press

  • Dynamo open MLS season with 2-1 victory over Earthquakes

    HOUSTON — Memo Rodríguez scored the opening goal of the Major League Soccer season and Maximiliano Urruti added a goal in the second half as the Houston Dynamo beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 on a rainy Friday night. Rodríguez raced to Joe Corona's through ball in the 39th minute and bent a shot around JT Marcinkowski. Urruti was left wide open at the penalty spot in the 56th and he easily slotted home Tyler Pasher's cross to make it 2-0. Rodríguez also sent a shot off the crossbar in the first minute after halftime and Urruti forced a diving save in the 80th. Paul Marie scored for San Jose in the 74th on a curling shot from distance. Chris Wondolowski had an open-net opportunity on a breakaway in the 84th but his tap-in attempt went wide. Houston announced tickets, approximately 6,500, were sold out with 30% capacity at BBVA Stadium. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press

  • Chicago Protesters March Over ‘Sick and Sad’ Police Killing of 13-Year-Old Adam Toledo

    Kamil Krzaczynski/GettyCHICAGO—Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Logan Square Park on the city’s Northwest Side on Friday evening to demand justice for Adam Toledo, the seventh-grader whose death at the hands of a police officer last month has shaken much of the city to its core.The protest kicked off around 5:30 p.m., and protesters began marching down Milwaukee Ave. at 7 p.m. The event started out peacefully, but anger was palpable among the crowd. Demonstrators chanted “f--k the police” and “f--k 12,” and there was talk of bringing the protest to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s home just a short distance away. Police had already blocked the area off, and a line of bike police that was stopping demonstrators from getting through was met with chants of: “CPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?”After a roughly 30-minute standoff with riot police near the mayor's home, protesters turned and marched in a different direction, at one point blaring Rage Against the Machine's “Killing in the Name of” and shutting down traffic in one area. Jonathan Ballew Despite massive turnout, the protest remained largely peaceful. Just 24 hours after authorities released brutal body camera footage showing the 13-year-old’s final moments in a Little Village alleyway on March 29, activists were questioning why Toledo was shot in the chest even though he complied with the officer’s commands to show his hands.“This is sick and sad that a 13-year-old was shot and killed by the police when he put his hands up. At first it was defund [the police], but now we want them abolished,” said Kishae Williams, a resident of Oak Park.The release of the footage on Thursday left many activists and residents in tears over the sheer shock of seeing the 13-year-old’s death, but it also raised questions about why authorities had earlier claimed he was holding a gun at the time he was shot, when the body camera footage showed him with both hands raised and with nothing in them. Jonathan Ballew The scene captured on video seemed a far cry from the “armed confrontation” that Chicago police described in their initial statement on the shooting. Police have said a chaotic chain of events led to the seventh-grader’s death. Officers responding to reports of gunfire in the West Side neighborhood found Toledo and a 21-year-old man named Ruben Roman on a street corner, and one of them was known to be armed, prosecutors said. Both took off running and while Roman was tackled and detained, Toledo ran down an alley and was pursued by another officer. Toledo eventually stopped at the officer’s command, and the body camera footage shows him turn toward the officer and quickly raise his hands in the air before he was shot in the chest. The footage also shows an officer shine a flashlight on a gun a few feet away from where Toledo fell. A lawyer for the officer involved, Officer Eric Stillman, has said his client believed Toledo was armed at the time he fired his weapon. (After a Cook County prosecutor claimed in court that Toledo had refused to show his hands and turned toward the officer with a gun, a spokesperson for the state’s attorney’s office told The Daily Beast that the prosecutor’s account was inaccurate, and the prosecutor was not “fully informed.”) Jonathan Ballew Protesters at Friday’s march kept the pressure on over these inconsistencies. “Complied, still died,” one banner read. Jonathan Ballew Earlier Friday, the Toledo family reiterated a plea for calm the day the footage was released. Lawyers for the family said in a statement to The Daily Beast, “We understand that emotions in the community are running high in the wake of the release of police body camera and other videos depicting the March 29 police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and that protests are planned for later today. The Toledo family implores everyone who gathers in Adam’s name to remain peaceful, respectful and nonviolent and to continue to work constructively and tirelessly for reform.” Jonathan Ballew Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

  • Brooks scores 32, Grizzlies pull away to beat Bulls 126-115

    CHICAGO — Dylan Brooks scored a season-high 32 points and the Memphis Grizzlies took control in the second half to beat the Chicago Bulls 126-115 on Friday night. Brooks had 15 points in the third quarter to lead Memphis' charge. The game was tied at the end of both the first and second quarters before the Grizzlies took control to beat the Bulls for the second time this week. Jonas Valanciunas scored the first points of the second half and Ja Morant buried a 3-pointer after Chicago scored, forcing Bulls coach Billy Donovan to call a timeout a little over a minute into the half. Memphis never trailed the rest of the game. Valanciunas added 16 points and seven rebounds while Morant scored 15. Xavier Tillman added 14 points off the bench. Coby White led the way for the Bulls with 27 points as the team played without All-Star Zach LaVine, who was sidelined by the NBA's health and safety protocols. White had his biggest game since he scored 30 points against New Orleans on Feb. 10, but it wasn’t enough for Chicago, which lost its fifth straight and 11th of 14. Nikola Vucevic had 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls. Chicago trailed by nine at the end of the third quarter. Memphis started the fourth on a 9-2 run, highlighted by Desmond Bane's 3-pointer and a hook shot by Valanciunas to make 103-87. The Grizzlies led by 10 or more the rest of the way. TIP-INS Grizzlies: F Brandon Clarke (hip) missed the game. ... Coach Taylor Jenkins started his pregame media availability by sending condolences to the families of eight people who were fatally shot at an Indianapolis FedEx facility on Thursday. FedEx is headquartered in Memphis. Bulls: Donovan said LaVine wouldn’t be back in the next few days. “Everybody’s dealing with this and we obviously are missing a really good player. It’s fortunate that Zach, outside of his ankle, has been predominantly healthy for most of the year, so that part’s been great to have him available, but now he’s not.” ... G Tomas Satoransky missed Friday’s game with a non-COVID-19 related illness. ... Chicago cancelled its shootaround on Friday but Donovan said no one else was impacted by LaVine's absence.
