MEXICO CITY (AP) — Another journalist was killed in Mexico on Saturday, adding to a growing list of reporters who have lost their lives amid an intensifying drug war in the country, authorities and a press freedom organization said.Nelson Matus was shot to death on the fringes of Acapulco in southwestern Mexico, officials and Article 19 confirmed. Matus had been the director of a local news organization, Lo Real de Guerrero, which covered the intensifying violence in the Mexican state of Guerrero. He had already survived an assassination attempt in 2019, according to Article 19. Local authorities said they were investigating the killing.Matus’ death comes just a week after the grisly killing of another journalist in western Mexico, something the Committee to Protect Journalists said “underscores the crisis of deadly violence and impunity that continues to plague the Mexican press.”Marta Durán, a Mexican journalist, reads a statement during a protest to demand justice after the murd...Oakland A’s let another close game slip away as losing skid hits seven straight

OAKLAND – Oakland’s top starter JP Sears went six and 1/3rd innings, the top prospects Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof both had hits and designated hitter Jordan Diaz mashed a home run and had two RBIs. And yet, the A’s, a team known for futility, still found another unique and painful way to lose a baseball game on Sunday afternoon. The Twins still earned the series sweep 5-4 thanks to another poor showing by A’s relief pitching.The A’s led for six innings while starter JP Sears struck out seven and kept Minnesota’s offense under control, aside from home runs by Christian Vasquez and Alex Kirilloff in the fifth inning. But after Sears began to falter, manager Mark Kotsay asked San Jose native Lucas Erceg to preserve a one-run lead. As it has done so many times this season, the bullpen collapsed in a high-pressure situation. Kirilloff cleared the bases with a three-RBI double to give Minnesota a 5-3 lead, and the Twins’ bullpen took care of business afterward to stay ato...Milpitas man charged with insider trading relating to the results of Pfizer’s trial for Paxlovid

SEATTLE (AP) — Bryce Miller tossed five sharp innings in his return from the injured list, Cal Raleigh hit his 12th home run and the Seattle Mariners avoided a three-game sweep with a 2-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.Seattle got back to .500 with 70 games left in the regular season, but it was an overall disappointing weekend coming out of the All-Star break for the Mariners.Miller had been sidelined since leaving his June 30 start against Tampa Bay with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. The Mariners hoped to get five innings out of the rookie right-hander Sunday and that’s exactly what they received.Miller (6-3) scattered five hits, struck out three and relied more on his secondary pitches. Through his first 11 major league starts, Miller was throwing nearly 70% fastballs. On Sunday, that dropped to 54%, with his slider usage up to 39%. Miller also used more breaking pitches the first time he faced the Tigers back in May when he threw seven shutout...Suspect in 4 Georgia deaths is killed in shootout with police, 2 officers wounded, authorities say
