CNN —The Los Angeles Angels enjoyed a historic night on the road Saturday at Coors Field, setting new franchise records for both runs and hits in a game as they dismantled the Colorado Rockies 25-1, scoring 25 runs on 28 hits. We attacked pitches in the zone and hitting gets contagious sometimes,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said afterwards. Dustin Bradford/Getty ImagesThe Angels scored 13 runs in the third, tying a franchise record which had previously been set in 1997 and 1978. It was a less auspicious record-breaking night for the Rockies as they succumbed to their worst defeat in franchise history, according to Reuters. “Today was just one of those days, where everyone was feeling good and we were getting the right pitches to hit,” Moniak added, according to ESPN.

☆ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have linked mass shootings to antidepressants. This is what the evidence says.
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Alia Shoaib | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

After a spate of mass shootings in the US, right-wing figures have suggested a link to antidepressants. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have claimed several mass shooters took SSRIs, suggesting they are to blame. Greene has previously made similar comments linking antidepressants to mass shootings, as has former Fox News host Tucker Carlson"A lot of young men in America are going nuts. However, Carlson and Greene's theories fail to note that many mass shooters had no history of taking psychiatric medication. As the gun control debate continues, Democrats and Republicans have drawn up distinctly different plans to prevent future mass shootings.

☆ The Rays Are Better Than Everyone. At Everything.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays had just won again Tuesday night, but their architect was flustered by a small crack in the foundation. Erik Neander, the Rays’ president of baseball operations, wondered if any available veterans were lined up to start in the minors the next day. Anderson had pitched for a month in the Rays’ farm system last summer — and, most important, was lined up to start a morning game in Omaha in about 12 hours. The Rays made the requisite phone calls, got Anderson for cash considerations — “Maybe a dollar,” Neander said — and booked him on a 7 a.m. flight on Wednesday. That night, naturally, Anderson pitched three scoreless innings against Pittsburgh for his first career save in the majors.
