Mets beat Pirates to snap 7-game losing streak behind gem from Kodai Senga, Mark Canha’s 3 RBI

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 12:27:54 GMT

PITTSBURGH — The Mets badly needed a solid pitching performance and timely hitting. They needed to put all aspects of their game together at the same time.They mostly did that, snapping a seven-game winning streak with a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Saturday afternoon.Kodai Senga had another solid road start and gave the Mets seven innings of one-run ball, while Mark Canha played the hero by driving in three runs. He hit a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh inning off Dauri Moreta, and drove in Tommy Pham with another double in the ninth, this one off left-hander Angel Perdomo. Francisco Alvarez hit his 12th home run of the season off former Mets reliever Colin Holderman in the eighth.After failing to protect a 4-1 lead twice this week on the road against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets finally got the pitching they needed to make it stand up and an insurance run to help the bullpen. David Robertson and Adam Ottavino closed the Pirates out with scoreless...

North Carolina GOP censures Sen. Tillis for supporting LGBTQ+ rights, immigration policies

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 12:27:54 GMT

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Republican delegates in North Carolina voted Saturday at their annual convention to censure Thom Tillis, the state’s senior U.S. senator, for backing LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and gun violence policies.As Sen. Tillis has gained influence in Congress for his willingness to work across the aisle, his record of supporting some key policies has raised concerns among some state Republicans that the senator has strayed from conservative values.Several delegates in Greensboro criticized Tillis, who has held his seat in the Senate since 2015, for his work last year on the Respect For Marriage Act, which enshrined protections for same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law.Both the state and national GOP platforms oppose same-sex marriage. But Tillis, who had opposed it earlier in his political career, was among the early supporters of the law who lobbied his GOP colleagues in Congress to vote in favor of it.Others criticized him for challenging former Pr...

Are COVID seat barriers still needed on GO trains?

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 12:27:54 GMT

If you’ve ridden the GO train lately you may have noticed that the plastic COVID barriers that were installed at the start of the pandemic are still there. The provincial transit agency installed the plexiglass barriers between seats in June 2020 as part of a suite of COVID safety measures aimed at making passengers feel safer and more comfortable about riding its trains and buses. In June 2022, the province lifted its mask mandate for certain higher-risk indoor settings such as public transit, and a spokesperson for Metrolinx told CityNews at that time a decision would be made “relatively soon” about removing the barriers. A year later the barriers are still there. “So I think it’s something we can say goodbye to,” Dr. Dale Kalina, an infectious disease specialist at Joseph Brant Hospital, tells CityNews. “The reality is that plastic barriers like the ones you that you’ve seen on the GO train or the ones that you see at the grocery store do a gr...
