BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez had an RBI single in the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox rallied late to beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Friday night. Martinez’s single to left was just the third hit for Boston, which had just tied it up when reliever Scott Barlow walked Jason Verdugo with the bases loaded after Dylan Coleman (4-2) issued two walks to start the inning. “We didn’t get too many hits but we had a lot of traffic. For him to get that hit was big,” manager Alex Cora said. Garrett Whitlock (4-2) gave up a…

After moving into the top spot in 6A with a blowout win over Topeka High last Friday night, Manhattan puts their 2-0 mark on the line at Hays tonight.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — The hallmark of the early Bill Snyder teams at Kansas State was a dominating defense, one so ferocious that highlights of players engulfing a running back or ripping the helmet off a quarterback are still shown in the stadium today. Turns out that’s becoming the hallmark of the early teams under Chris Klieman, too. The Wildcats opened the season with one of the handful of shutouts across Division I, a 34-0 victory over South Dakota that was even more lopsided than the final score. And they followed up with a 42-12 blowout of former Big 12…
Originally posted on emawonline.com by Mason Voth (@TheRealMasonV) There is a new streak that is alive and well in Manhattan. It isn’t as long as the one that K-State Basketball had against KU until Michael Beasley and Jacob Pullen saved the day in 2008. This one might cause more in-fighting amongst fans though. So in this edition of the Friday Five, we take a look at the last five alternate uniform combinations that K-State has worn and lost all five games in. The Last Win: 41-7 vs Iowa State, 2013 Before diving in to the losses in alternate combinations, quickly remember the Wildcats trounced…
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins salvaged some badly needed momentum, entering a last-ditch five-game series at first-place Cleveland this weekend. Their pitching lately looks up to the task. Carlos Correa’s solo home run in the first inning and Nick Gordon’s two-run shot in the second gave the Twins enough to hang on for a 3-2 victory to finish a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night and gain ground in the AL Central race. “Our guys know what’s at stake, and our guys know what time of the year it is,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “This is what we do…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In a showdown between the Chiefs and Chargers, two of the league’s best teams led by two of the game’s bright young quarterbacks, an unheralded seventh-round draft pick who a few years ago was working alongside his mother in a Wendy’s restaurant stole the show. The Chiefs’ Jaylen Watson picked off Justin Herbert at the goal line early in the fourth quarter Thursday night, headed the other way and was never touched on a 99-yard go-ahead touchdown that propelled Kansas City to a 27-24 victory. “I don’t even remember what happened at that moment,” Watson…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective who has long been accused of sexually preying on Black women during criminal investigations was indicted Thursday on charges that he sexually abused two women, the FBI said. Roger Golubski, 69, was arrested at his home in Edwardsville after a federal grand jury indicted him on six counts of civil rights violations.
