Thaiss has 5 RBIs and Adell go-ahead homer as Angels overcome 4-run deficit and beat Rockies 10-7

  • By DOUG PADILLA - Associated Press
  • Updated

Matt Thaiss drove in a career-high five runs, Jo Adell hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Angels overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7. Thaiss became the first Angels catcher to drive in five runs with two steals in the same game and the second catcher in major league history to achieve the feat after Detroit’s Mickey Cochrane in 1934. Taylor Ward drove in three runs for the Angels, who trailed 6-2 after two innings and won for the sixth time in nine games.

She became a mother after Islamic State captivity. A decade on, Yazidi community shuns her children

  • By MARIAM FAM and SALAR SALIM - Associated Press

As the 10th anniversary of the Islamic State group's atrocities against Iraq's Yazidis approaches, a traumatized community is still in many ways convulsed by the legacy of the militants' onslaught. The ripple effects are felt in the anguish of families whose loved ones remain missing and the trauma of former captives, many of whom had been forced into sexual enslavement. They are felt in the agony of some mothers who say they've had to choose between their Yazidi families and the children whom they gave birth to after they were captured and raped by or married to the extremists. While the community has embraced the return of the kidnapped mothers, the children’s fate has proved much more contentious.

Eugenio Suárez hits 3 HRs, Diamondbacks tie team mark with 22 hits in 17-0 rout of Nationals

  • By JACK THOMPSON - Associated Press
  • Updated

Eugenio Suárez hit three homers and matched his career high with five RBIs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks tied a team record with 22 hits in a 17-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. The Diamondbacks, who scored five runs in the ninth inning for a 9-8 victory a night earlier, outscored the Nationals 24-0 since the seventh inning of Monday’s game, which was the first time since 2011 that Arizona won when trailing by four runs in the ninth inning or later. The Diamondbacks won for the sixth time in seven games. Suárez hit a two-run shot in the first, a solo homer in the sixth and another solo homer in the seventh — all to left field.
