MIAMI — Pinch-hitter Cristian Pache hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Friday night and match the franchise record with their 13th straight road victory.

The Atlanta Braves lead the division. Miami had a 3-1 lead entering the ninth before J.T. Realmuto hit a leadoff single against reliever...

The US will provide cluster bombs to Ukraine and defends the delivery of the controversial weapon

By ZEKE MILLER, TARA COPP and LOLITA C. BALDOR (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday defended what he said was a “difficult decision” to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, a move the administration said was key to the fight and buttressed by Ukraine’s promise to use the controversial bombs carefully. The decision comes on the eve of the NATO summit in Lithuania, where Biden is likely to face questions from allies on why the U.S. would send a weapon into Ukraine that more than two-thirds of alliance members have banned because it has a track record for causing...

By ANNA FRANTS (Associated Press) MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule.

Josef Martinez’s bicycle kick leads Inter Miami to second consecutive draw

FORT LAUDERDALE — Independence Day fireworks filled the sky around DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday night, but they could’ve used some more pink and black to celebrate Josef Martinez’s jaw-dropping goal.

It may have been the goal of his career, which is saying something for someone who is now tied for ninth all-time in career MLS goals.
