MADISON, Ala, (AP) — Three pitchers combined on a seven-inning, no-hitter for the Los Angeles Angels’ Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas only to lose 7-5 to the Cincinnati Reds’ Chattanooga Lookouts in a doubleheader opener Saturday after wildness caused a seven-run top of the seventh.Rocket City pitchers walked five, hit four batters and threw a run-scoring wild pitch in the seventh inning and were hurt by a dropped fly ball with the bases loaded on what could have been the final out.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs manager David Ross looks at Justin Steele and sees more of the same from last season.The young left-hander knows what he does well, and he makes it work for him.“I think he settled into who he was last year, and we’re seeing a really good version,” Ross said.Steele pitched six effective innings and Patrick Wisdom homered, helping the Cubs beat the Texas Rangers 10-3 on Saturday.Trey Mancini had three of Chicago’s 14 hits in its third consecutive win. Yan Gomes hit a solo homer in a four-run eighth, and Wisdom, Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner and Nick Madrigal each had two hits.“It’s a team offense,” Wisdom said. “Everybody’s coming up with big knocks, especially with guys in scoring position.”Swanson is batting .429 (12 for 28) in his first seven games with the Cubs after signing a $177 million, seven-year contract as a free agent.

(CNN) — Across the United States, more than 150 million people are being faced with the possibility of a new reality: life without TikTok.The wildly popular short-form video app has been at the center of an ongoing battle, with lawmakers calling for an outright ban, and the company portraying itself as a critical community space, educational platform and just plain fun.In Hong Kong, there’s no need to imagine that reality: TikTok discontinued its services there in 2020.Its abrupt departure was met with mixed reactions: disappointment from some users and content creators, but also relief from others who say life is better without the app’s infinite scroll.At the time of its exit, TikTok had a relatively modest presence in the city and was not ubiquitous like it is in the US today.But the varied reactions to its departure, and the way users have pivoted to other platforms or even real-life offline communities, offer Americans a glimpse into their potential TikTok-les...Star Wars scare: T police find costumed rider when responding to report of person armed with rifle
