MIAMI (AP) — Jake Burger homered for the third straight game, Jesús Sánchez also had a home run and the Miami Marlins beat San Diego 7-6 on Sunday to end the Padres’ seven-game win streak. Burger has homered 13 times in his past 105 at-bats (one home run per 8.1 at-bats). “My wife texted me after the game and said, ‘Are you even human now?’” Burger said. “Obviously, I’ve always felt I’m one of the best power hitters in the game. I’m not immune knowing this is not going to last forever. But If I can keep myself in these types of zones for a longer period, I feel I’ll have a real good...

Chris Perkins: 10 observations from Dolphins-Falcons preseason opener; draftees fare well, QBs not so well

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 10, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — Most of the Miami Dolphins’ top starters and top subs, including edge rusher Chop Robinson, the first-round pick from Penn State, were out of uniform for Friday’s preseason opener against Atlanta at Hard Rock Stadium. Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson, who is battling Mike White for the No. 2 job, got the start. Neither was overly impressive. But don’t start the calls for free agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill just yet. Friday was just one game. Most likely the Dolphins will stick with Thompson and White as their backup quarterbacks. Beyond that, the 2024 draft class had a...

By TERRY SPENCER MIAMI (AP) — Manny Machado’s two-run double in the 10th inning highlighted another late-inning rally for the Padres as San Diego won its sixth consecutive game, defeating the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Friday night. Machado’s double off Brett De Geus (0-1) scored former Marlin Luis Arraez, who had singled, and Jake Cronenworth. Tyler Wade had broken the tie when he beat the throw home on a Cronenworth grounder to shortstop Xavier Edwards. Jason Adams (7-2) earned the win. Bryan Hoeing struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning two weeks after the Marlins traded him to the Padres...

MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins kicked off the exhibition season Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium, and with several starters and veterans sitting out the preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, rookie running back Jaylen Wright was among standouts. Wright ran for 55 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. The fourth-round draft pick showed a physical brand of running, going for 10 yards to the left side, with a nice seal block from fellow rookie left tackle Patrick Paul. Later, he scored a 6-yard touchdown up the middle where he refused to be denied. In the second half, he took a...

Spencer Steer’s single made it 6-3 before Candelario’s hit ended Ramirez’s outing. Steer scored on a fielding error by...

To watch Pompano Beach-based cover band Unravel resuscitate a classic tune like AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” all snarling vocals, flailing hair and swagger, is to witness rock ‘n’ roll at its essence — when the music was about rebellion and passion and the audacious joy of playing it for a crowd. The bass player is 13. At a time when there are no rock bands near the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, young people across South Florida are doing deep dives into the classic rock of their parents, sometimes grandparents, and performing in bars and on festival stages across the region. Yes, they...

By TERRY SPENCER MIAMI (AP) — Derek Hill’s grand slam capped a five-run first inning and Marlins starter Valente Bellozo carried a shutout into the sixth as Miami held off a late Reds rally and beat Cincinnati 6-4 on Wednesday night, getting some payback after being pummeled twice to open the series. Hill, claimed on waivers from San Francisco on Saturday, drove a fastball from Reds starter Andrew Abbott (9-9) 412 feet to center after Jonah Bride singled and Jesus Sanchez and Otto Lopez walked. It was the left fielder’s fourth homer of the season and first as a Marlin. That came after...

By MICHAEL PHILLIS ST. LOUIS (AP) — For the first time in roughly 40 years, the Environmental Protection Agency used its emergency authority to halt the sale of a weed-killing pesticide that harms the development of unborn babies. Officials took the rare step because the pesticide DCPA, or Dacthal, could cause irreversible damage to fetuses, including impaired brain development and low birthweight. The agency struggled to obtain vital health data from the pesticide’s manufacturer on time and decided it was not safe to allow continued sale, EPA said in an announcement Tuesday. “In this...

By TERRY SPENCER MIAMI — Elly De La Cruz again battered the Marlins while at bat and on the bases, going 4 for 5 with two doubles, as the Cincinnati Reds routed Miami 8-2 on Tuesday night. A night after hitting two homers and two doubles, De La Cruz singled in the first, doubled and scored in the third and hit a bases-loaded double in the fourth that scored two.

Going on the pitch after singling in the eighth, his speed...
