Jazz Chisholm Jr. sparks Yankees in series-winning victory over Orioles

Shortly before the Yankees and Orioles’ series finale began at 11:35 a.m., Yankee Stadium’s public address system described the matchup as a “Sunday morning melee.”

In that case, Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered the most devastating blow in the divisional showdown, as his two-run double off the right-center field wall in the eighth inning paved the way for a 4-2, series-winning victory over Baltimore.

Chisholm’s drive came off Orioles righty Bryan Baker. It also preceded a groundball from DJ LeMahieu, which scored Chisholm and provided an insurance run.

That wasn’t the only time the infielders sparked the Bombers on Sunday, as LeMahieu smoked a 107.9-mph single off Dean Kramer in the second inning. That cut the deficit to one and saw Chisholm score after losing his cleat and then colliding with catcher Maverick Handley, who had to venture up the third base line to receive a throw from Colton Cowser in left.

Handley was shaken up and exited the game.

The Yankees had another chance to score in the sixth, as they had second and third with nobody out. However, Cody Bellinger flew out, Giancarlo Stanton struck out and Chisholm Jr. flew out.

Bellinger’s ball resulted in a sliding catch from Dylan Carlson in right, but Aaron Judge failed to tag up and score from third. While the Yankees still prevailed, the slugger wandered off the base as Carlson made the catch.

The pinstripers got off to a rocky start on Sunday, as Will Warren surrendered two runs on knocks from Ryan O’Hearn and Cowser in the first inning. Baltimore could have done more damage in the frame if not for Jackson Holliday getting picked off second base.

Warren settled in after that, refusing to allow another run over 6.1 innings. He also totaled six hits, two walks, six strikeouts and 86 pitches.

Kramer, meanwhile, only permitted one run over 5.2 innings. He also tallied five hits, one walk and seven strikeouts with 85 pitches.

Having now won their first series in their last three tries, the Yankees will spend the next three days in Cincinnati, where they’ll face a mediocre Reds team.

Allan Winans will be promoted to start the opener on Monday. The righty has been excellent at Triple-A, going 7-0 record with a 0.90 ERA over 50 innings.

Southpaw Nick Lodolo will start for Cincy. He has a 3.71 ERA over 15 starts.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024.

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
