Matt Wallner out of Twins’ starting lineup again

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:04 GMT

SEATTLE — The Twins recalled Matt Wallner in time to play in last Friday’s victory at Oakland, but as the team started its fourth game of this seven-game road trip, the outfielder from Forest Lake had yet to see his name on manager Rocco Baldelli’s lineup card.Minnesota likes to recall players who will have a chance to play regularly, but in this case it might be difficult.Wallner, 25, was called up for his third stint with the big league team after third baseman Jose Miranda was lost to an impingement in his right shoulder. A left-handed hitter, he joins a team that already has left-handed-hitting outfielders Max Kepler, Joey Gallo and Alex Kirilloff, plus switch hitter Willi Castro.“You know,” Baldelli said, “we lose a third baseman, we get a left-handed-hitting outfielder.”Optioned May 29 to the Saints after hitting .636 with a 1.692 OPS in his last four big league games, Wallner remained hot in St. Paul, hitting .308 with 11 doubles, two triples, seven home runs, 31 RBIs, 20 wal...

For Twins’ Emilio Pagán, highs and lows starting to even out

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:04 GMT

SEATTLE — Every major league team, every season, has a relief pitcher who becomes a punchline. For the Twins last season, it was Emilio Pagán — and the reputation has largely stuck.“That comes with the territory of being a reliever,” he said. “You come in with a one-run lead and you blow it, you give up a run, you suck. … I get it. It doesn’t bother me at all. We wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for the fans. They’re allowed to be passionate. They’re allowed to hang on every pitch and every outcome.”Through more than half of this season, though, Pagán hasn’t quite deserved the residual ire from 2022.The right-hander has rebounded from a disappointing, and sometimes confounding, season that finished with a 4-6 record, seven blown saves and a 4.43 earned-run average in a year that saw the Twins fall from first in the American League Central to 14 games out over the final month.Pagán started the season as the closer, and had seven saves in the Twins’ first 46 games, but by July, the on...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:04 GMT

An agreement between Denver and Aurora that allowed the two cities to deploy their police officers to help each other during protests has been suspended after an Aurora City Council vote on Monday night.Aurora won’t be sending its officers to Denver, as it did during the 2020 racial justice protests after the killing of George Floyd, until Denver agrees to fully indemnify — or take on full legal responsibility — for Aurora officers’ actions during such events.The Aurora City Council voted in favor of the resolution, 5-4, with Councilmembers Ruben Medina, Alison Coombs, Juan Marcano and Curtis Gardner voting against it.While several of the members who opposed it said they believed Denver should indemnify Aurora’s officers after such events, a new Denver mayor was sworn in just hours before the meeting. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman could not come to an agreement with then-Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, but he should try to come to one with Mayor Mike Johnston...

What will it take to unclog Richmond bridge traffic?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:04 GMT

(KRON) -- For anyone who travels westbound on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge at rush-hour, the glut of traffic means no one is getting anywhere fast. In addition to slow commutes, gridlocked cars send pollution into Richmond. Assemblymember Damon Connolly said, "For too long, traffic congestion on the bridge has disproportionately impacted working families by releasing harmful pollutants into the air and backing up traffic that pours into residential neighborhoods."According to the Richmond Air Monitoring Network, during morning rush hour, pollution levels spike and expose residents near the bridge to dangerous pollutants.At Monday's news conference, several Bay Area lawmakers called on CalTrans and regional transportation officials to spend $210 million raised through a regional transportation measure to solve the problem. Lawmakers are calling for a third westbound lane to be added during the morning commute, as well as moving a bike lane to the lower deck during those hours.Richm...
