Then the Tigers finally put a ball in play, and Holland got exactly what he needed. Hernan Perez — batting only because Miguel Cabrera had been removed for a pinch runner the previous inning — grounded into a crucial double play in the 10th, and Holland escaped a bases-loaded, nobody-out jam to close out Kansas City’s 2-1 victory over the Tigers early Monday. The game was delayed 103 minutes by rain in the middle of the ninth. “I just…

The bill would decrease penalties for marijuana possession, launch a study of industrial hemp and legalize the limited production and sale of hemp oil for seizure treatments. Democratic Rep.…
For several of their Big 12 Baseball series this season, the song has been the same for the Kansas State Wildcats, win the first game of the series then lose the next two.

I think the signal went out — or she hung up on me.” There’s a good chance Chandra will forgive him. Most of the leaders had been conserving fuel after pitting…
