Farmer went 3 for 5 and is batting .395 (15 for 38) since becoming Minnesota’s starting third baseman on May 10.“Kyle Farmer’s a heck of a baseball player,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “I like relying on him, and he handles a lot of what comes with this job very, very well. And he’s here to play. He’s here to do whatever we’re asking him to do, and right now what we’re asking him to do is basically play every day, and right n...OPINIÓN | La aristocracia multirracial representada en “Queen Charlotte” es una distorsión peligrosa

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greeks were voting Sunday in the first election since their country’s economy ceased to be subject to strict supervision and control by international lenders who had provided bailout funds during its nearly decade-long financial crisis.The vote pitches conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, 55, a Harvard-educated former banking executive, against 48-year-old Alexis Tsipras, who heads the left-wing Syriza party and served as prime minister during some of the financial crisis’ most turbulent years, as the two main contenders.The rising cost of living was at the forefront of many voters’ minds as they headed to polling centers set up in schools across the country.“Every year, instead of improving, things are getting worse,” said Athens resident Dimitris Hondrogiannis, 54, “Things are expensive. Every day, things are getting out of control. It’s enough to make you afraid to go to the supermarket to shop. We’ll see how things go.”Ho...Biden, McCarthy to speak on debt limit; talks stalled as Republicans seek deep spending cuts

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — President Joe Biden planned on Sunday to speak directly with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, hoping to salvage talks to raise the debt limit that have stalled in recent days while he was abroad at the Group of Seven summit.GOP lawmakers are holding tight to demands for sharp spending cuts, rejecting the alternatives proposed by the White House for reducing deficits. Biden and world leaders at the gathering for industrial nations in Japan had been closely tracking the negotiations, looking for signs of a compromise that would ensure the federal government can keep paying its bills and avoid a potentially catastrophic default.Biden has tried to project optimism even as the talks back in Washington were rocky. Republicans are rejecting a White House plan that would impose less strict cuts while also increasing revenues. The two sides are up against a deadline as soon as June 1 to raise its borrowing limit, now at $31 trillion.“We’re going to get a chance to talk l...Extremist Israeli Cabinet minister visits sensitive Jerusalem holy site

JERUSALEM (AP) — An extremist Israeli Cabinet minister visited a sensitive Jerusalem holy site on Sunday at a time of heightened tensions with the Palestinians.The visit by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, his second known visit since becoming a member of Israel’s most right-leaning government ever, drew condemnations from the Palestinians and Israel’s neighbor Jordan, which acts as the custodian of the site.“I am happy to come up to the Temple Mount, the most important place for the Israeli people,” Ben-Gvir said during his early morning visit to the site, with the golden Dome of the Rock in the background, according to video released by his office. He praised the police presence at the site, saying it “proves who is in charge in Jerusalem.”Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh called Ben-Gvir’s visit a “blatant attack” on the mosque. Jordan’s Foreign Ministry called it “a provocative step that is condemned, and a dangerous and unacceptable escalati...State TV says armed group kills 6 Iranian border guards in clash near Pakistani border

Coming off a breakout 2022 in which he emerged as the fastest-rising prospect in the Red Sox system, everything seemed to be coming up Ceddanne Rafaela’s way entering spring training.The 22-year-old from Curaçao had been added to the 40-man roster, was playing every day for the big league club in camp and was even offered a chance to play with Team Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic — an opportunity he turned down in favor of immersing himself with his big league teammates.It seemed like a no-brainer Rafaela would start the season in Triple-A, but when camp broke he was given the disappointing news that he’d be starting off back in Double-A, where he spent the bulk of last season.Why? For all his immense talent and a flair for the highlight-reel play in center field, the club felt Rafaela had more work to do refining his approach at the plate.“Defensively and on the bases, he’s showing all the skill that he has. Frankly, the skill that he has in those ...State TV says armed group kills 5 Iranian border guards in clash near Pakistani border

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent a forceful rebuke of Russia at the conclusion of the G7 Leaders’ Summit, which was taken over by the arrival of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who hoped to shore up more support for his country. The support of allies has been crucial to Ukraine’s survival amid a Russian invasion, and countries pushing for a ceasefire must recognize Russia is squarely to blame, Trudeau said Sunday in Hiroshima, Japan. “Had we not been there with significant military support, Ukraine would not be standing today,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference after attending the G7 Leaders’ Summit. “We will not hesitate to continue to ensure that Russia does not succeed in making might make right once again in this world,” he said.
