☆ What the Mets need to do to beat the Dodgers: Comeback keys
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-20 | by ( Tim Britton | Will Sammon | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +6 min

The task in front of the New York Mets is simple to state and incredibly complex to execute: Beat the Los Angeles Dodgers twice. Through the first five games of the NLCS, Mets starters are getting a called strike or whiff on just 23.8 percent of pitches. It’s obvious the Mets need a solid start from Manaea to win Game 6; they’re not equipped to win a bullpen battle with Los Angeles’ rested relief corps. The Dodgers bullpen isn’t bulletproofOn the surface, the Dodgers going with a bullpen game on Sunday may put the matchup in the Mets’ favor, considering New York plans to start Manaea, its best pitcher. If Los Angeles grabs an early lead and starts deploying its bevy of high-leverage arms, then that presents a challenge.

The relievers stitched together 27 outs against a Mets team that had appeared allergic to cardiac arrest this month. AdvertisementWhen Dodgers officials thought about Ohtani, they conjured fantasies about endless streams of revenue and a decade of contending for the World Series. For a few hours after the story broke, Dodgers team president Stan Kasten wondered if the team had built its future around a fraud. The Dodgers hung nine runs on the Mets in Game 1, eight in Game 3 and 10 in Game 4. In Game 6, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza turned to Sean Manaea, his best starter, who had quieted the Dodgers in Game 2.

☆ Cuba slowly starts restoring power after island-wide blackout
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-19 | by ( Https | Media-Cldnry.S-Nbcnews.Com Image Upload Newscms | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +4 min

Cuba restored a trickle of power to its grid by mid-evening on Friday, officials said, hours after the island plunged into a countrywide blackout following the collapse of one of its major power plants. The Communist-run government closed schools and non-essential industry early on Friday and sent most state workers home in a last-ditch effort to keep the lights on after weeks of severe power shortages. But shortly before midday, the Antonio Guiteras power plant, the country’s largest and most efficient, went offline, prompting a total grid failure and suddenly leaving the entire island without power. For many Cubans, far removed from politics and accustomed to regular power outages, the nationwide blackout was nothing more than a normal Friday night. Russia and Mexico, which in the past have sent fuel to Cuba, have also greatly reduced shipments.

These moves raised Saudi Arabia’s tennis profile, but its potential new tournament at the start of the season was seen as the most important of its tennis investments — and its most divisive. It would cement Saudi Arabia’s place at the center of the sport, bringing with it an extensively criticized human rights record.
