Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:32:23 GMT

MILWAUKEE — A week ago, the bullpen behind the left-center field fence at Target Field transformed into Anthony DeSclafani’s personal pitching lab. Approached beforehand by pitching coach Andrew Bailey and a few other staffers from the Giants’ pitching department, they believed they had an answer to something for which DeSclafani had been searching for years.The curveball. A bender. A potential putaway pitch to pair with his sinker-slider combination.“It’s always been a pitch that’s been a pain in the butt for me,” DeSclafani said.It was time to experiment.Cycling through four or five different grips throughout the session, one clicked toward the end. It felt so good, in fact, that DeSclafani was eager to show it off in his next start, two days later. And it so seamlessly melded with the rest of his repertoire that he went to the pitch 19 times against the Twins last Wednesday, more than he’s ever thrown the curve in three years with the Giants.“Y...

A baby western lowland gorilla — a critically endangered species — was born early Saturday morning at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, according to a news release.Zoo staff are “cautiously optimistic” that the newborn, who is the second infant born to 20-year-old mother gorilla Calaya and 31-year-old father Baraka, will survive. Calaya and Baraka’s first offspring, Moke, celebrated his fifth birthday on April 15.“Calaya is an experienced mother, and I have every confidence she will take excellent care of this baby, as she did with her first offspring,” said Becky Malinsky, the zoo’s curator of primates.The newborn gorilla, whose sex has yet to be confirmed, is “clinging closely to its mother,” the zoo said.

Who can stop Manchester City?That’s the question being asked at the end of another Premier League campaign when Pep Guardiola’s team proved too strong, winning the title for a fifth time in six years.A look at who might be best-placed to bring down City next season:ARSENAL (2nd place)Juggling another run at the title with the demands of playing in the Champions League looks to be Arsenal’s biggest problem. Squad depth became a growing issue at the end of this season — look at the collapse in the defensive stats following the injury to center back William Saliba, for example — and it will be even more stark when the team has to play high-level games twice a week. Reinforcements at left back, center back and central midfield are needed, especially if Granit Xhaka leaves. However, Mikel Arteta’s squad — the youngest in the Premier League — will be better for the experience of going toe to toe with City before eventually falling short. “We understand where ...
