SEATTLE (AP) — Julio Rodríguez hit a tiebreaking RBI single and stole home in a four-run seventh inning, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.Rodríguez’s broken-bat grounder rolled into left field when Boston shortstop Yu Chang and third baseman Rafael Devers collided while trying to field the ball, allowing Tom Murphy to score. “It wasn’t pretty,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “There have been much prettier singles. Your bat gets blown up and it goes right at the shortstop when he’s trying to field the ball. But, we often talk, it’s baseball. You need a little luck once in awhile.”Eugenio Suárez followed with an RBI single to right field, giving the Mariners a two-run lead. Then, Rodríguez, on a double steal with Suárez, scored from third when Boston catcher Connor Wong threw to second base. Rodríguez now has a career-high 27 game on-base streak, the longest active streak in MLB and Seattle’s longest sin...

DENVER (KDVR) -- Teresa Grasmick started driving for Lyft in July to save a little money for an upcoming vacation. The last thing she thought when she signed up for the job is that she'd become the victim of a scam. "They could have told me anything to get my adrenaline, going to get me to give them that information," Grasmick said. Back on July 21, she said she had just dropped off a passenger at Denver International Airport and got a ping that another rider requested a ride leaving the airport.
