MIAMI (AP) — Roddery Muñoz pitched six strong innings to get his first major league win and the Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 4-1 on Wednesday night. Making his second major league start, the 24-year-old Muñoz (1-0) gave up one run and three hits while striking out seven and walking two.

MIAMI — Dane Myers hit a game-winning single in the 10th inning as the Miami Marlins overcame a five-run deficit and beat Colorado 7-6 on Tuesday night, making the Rockies the first team since 1900 to trail in each of its first 29 games.

Climate change could virtually disappear in Florida — at least according to state law

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 1, 2024. Posted in Environment, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Politics.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida, perhaps the most vulnerable state to sea-level rise and extreme weather, is on the verge of repealing what’s left of a 16-year-old law that lists climate change as a priority when making energy policy decisions. Instead, the state would make energy affordability and availability its main focus. A bill waiting to be signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis would strip the term “climate change” from much of state law and reverse a policy then-Gov. Charlie Crist championed as he built a reputation for being a rare Republican fighting to promote green energy over fossil...

On Tuesday, the reality of Florida’s new six-week abortion ban hit the radar of pregnant women seeking care. At a Planned Parenthood clinic in West Palm Beach, doctors scrambled to provide abortions for anyone pregnant beyond six weeks. Women crowded into a waiting room, returning for a pill or surgical procedure. The men who brought them paced the parking lot or sat in cars watching for the women to emerge. Yet, even with the scramble, the clinic turned some women away, a glimpse into the future of reproductive care in Florida. A recent Florida Supreme Court ruling paved the way for the...

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 102-88 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics: – Yes, this is about the Celtics. – Whose depth of talent is such that even Derrick White can be a leading man. – Whose depth of talent is such that they can survive a calf injury to Kristaps Porzingis. – And, yes, this also is about the Heat’s shorthanded roster, as Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier continue to look on from the bench in street clothes. – But it also is about the Heat reducing their odds because of their approach to the regular season. – With one more win, the...

MIAMI – The next time the Miami Heat play at Kaseya Center things could look a lot different – and for more than the plans for a new scoreboard. Down 3-1 to the Boston Celtics in this best-of-seven opening-round Eastern Conference playoff series after Monday night’s 102-88 home drubbing, the Heat only will play at home again this season with a Wednesday night Game 5 victory at TD Garden. Based on the lopsided scores of the Heat’s losses the past two games – with the deficit on Monday night cresting at 28 – the expiration clock on their season is ticking. Loudly. “Our guys really want to...

Paul Maurice has been around long enough to understand more about some things, like the sorry side of human nature, than he understands about other things, like exactly why the outside conversation changes so dramatically each game in a playoff series. “The shift outside the room is always far greater than the shift inside the room,’’ the Panthers coach said. Tampa Bay just staved off summer by beating the Panthers 6-3 in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series. The reasons: Tampa Bay played desperate from the start, the Panthers took too many penalties, future Hall of Famer Steven Stamkos got...
