WWW.FOXNEWS.COMGuardians' David Fry hit in face by 99 mph fastball during bunt attempt, Tigers' Tarik Skubal left shockedA scary scene unfolded at Progressive Field during the Cleveland Guardians-Detroit Tigers game Tuesday night, when the Guardians David Fry was hit in the face by a foul tip on a bunt attempt.In the bottom of the sixth inning with the Guardians down 2-1, there were runners on the corners with no outs when Tarik Skubal delivered a 2-1 pitch to Fry, who quickly turned to square for a sacrifice bunt.But the 99 mph fastball from Skubal, the Tigers' Ace, was too far inside. As Fry made contact with the pitch, it hit the top of his bat and redirected into his face.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFry hit the dirt at home plate in immediate pain, and Skubal threw down his glove and hat in shock. Skubal was in clear discomfort after what unfolded, but everyone on the field and in the stands shared his feelings as trainers rushed out to tend to Fry.Fry eventually stood up, and blood was streaming down from his nose. A cart came out to take Fry off the field, and as youd expect, his night was over.ASTROS PITCHER FRAMBER VALDEZ ACCUSED OF INTENTIONALLY HITTING OWN CATCHER AFTER GIVING UP GRAND SLAMUnfortunately for Fry and the Guardians, because the ball made contact with the bat before hitting him in the face, it was considered a foul ball, and the count went to 2-2.Pinch hitter George Valera came in for Fry to finish the at-bat and take his place for the remainder of the game.The inning ended up getting worse for Skubal and the Tigers once play finally resumed. His first pitch after the accident was wild, allowing the runner at third base to score to tie the game, while Jose Ramirez moved up to second.Then Skubal committed a balk, allowing Ramirez a free bag, a groundout to first base scored Ramirez to give Cleveland a 3-2 lead heading into the seventh inning.Skubal is one of the best pitchers in MLB, and the 2024 Cy Young Award winner entered the game with an American League-leading 2.23 ERA over 189.1 innings. His resume this season makes him a frontrunner for the award yet again.The game has huge playoff implications because the Guardians were just one game behind the Tigers when they began their final three-game, regular-season series Tuesday night. Each game is crucial at this point, with only a handful of games remaining to determine who will vie for a World Series title this October.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Comments 0 Shares 27 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMKamala Harris disparages Washington Post, LA Times over non-endorsements in 2024Former Vice President Kamala Harris called out The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times in her new book, "107 Days," over their refusal to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024."The Los Angeles Times, my hometown newspaper, published its electoral endorsements," she wrote, recalling the Oct. 14 piece published by the paper. "The very first line of the article stated: Its no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation. But there was no mention of the most consequential race of all."The LA Times, owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong, declined to endorse a presidential candidate, and The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, followed suit."The pre-capitulation of these powerful billionaires alarmed and dispirited me. As it turned out, they were early adopters of the feckless posture that would be embraced by a raft of business leaders and institutions once Trump was elected. Theyd just been the first in line to grovel," Harris wrote after noting the Post's non-endorsement and in reference to President Donald Trump's eventual election victory.WASHINGTON POST UNION, STAFFERS REVOLT OVER DECISION NOT TO ENDORSE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, BLAME BEZOSHarris's new book was released on Tuesday and recounts her historically short presidential campaign that followed former President Joe Biden's decision to exit the race.The LA Times announced in late October the editorial board wouldnt be endorsing a candidate for the first time since 2008. As a result, the papers editorials editor, Mariel Garza, resigned over what she alleges was the owner's decision not to endorse Harris.The LA Times told Fox News Digital "an endorsement by the Los Angeles Times is an important decision that can influence a large number of voters. After thoughtful consideration, the owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, could not endorse Vice President Harris, based on the record of the Biden administration and her own track record. Competence matters!"The Post announced days later that the editorial board would not be endorsing a presidential candidate in the 2024 election or any future presidential election.William Lewis, publisher and CEO of The Washington Post, called the decision at the time "a statement in support of our readers ability to make up their own minds on this, the most consequential of American decisions whom to vote for as the next president."BEFORE NON-ENDORSEMENT DECISION, WASHINGTON POST CALLED TRUMP 'DREADFUL' AND 'WORST PRESIDENT OF MODERN TIMES'The paper has only endorsed Democratic presidential candidates, except in 1988 when it declined to endorse Democrat Michael Dukakis.The Washington Post did not immediately return a request for comment.USA Today and The Minnesota Star Tribune also declined to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.Harris quoted former Washington Post editor Marty Baron's reaction to the paper's non-endorsement in her book, writing, "This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Posts owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREHarris also highlighted Alexandra Petri, who now writes for The Atlantic but previously served as a political humor columnist at the Post."But if I were the paper, I would be a little embarrassed that it has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to make our presidential endorsement. I will spare you the suspense: I am endorsing Kamala Harris for president, because I like elections and want to keep having them," Petri wrote at the time.0 Comments 0 Shares 27 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDemocrat succeeds her late father in Congress as GOP House majority shrinksDemocrat Adelita Grijalva has won a special election in battleground Arizona, securing the congressional seat left vacant by her fathers death and further eroding Republicans razor-thin House majority.The Associated Press reports that Grijalva, a former Pima County supervisor, defeated business owner and contractor Daniel Butierez, the Republican nominee, in Tuesday's election in southern Arizona's 7th Congressional District.Grijalva will serve the remaining 15 months of the term of Raul Grijalva, who died in March following complications from cancer treatment.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT BUT FRONT-AND-CENTER IN 2025 ELECTIONSThe younger Grijalva's victory was anything but a surprise in the left-leaning district. Democrats enjoy a nearly two-to-one voter registration advantage over Republicans in the Hispanic-majority district, which stretches from Yuma to Tucson and includes almost the entire length of the state's border with Mexico.HEAD HERE FOR FOX NEWS' 2025 ELECTION COVERAGERepublicans currently control the House 219-214, with two vacant seats remaining.Besides Arizona's 7th Congressional District, there's also a vacancy in Texas 18th Congressional District, a heavily Democrat-dominated district in Houston, following the March death of Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner. The special election to fill the seat will be held on November 4, which is Election Day 2025.Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, a right-leaning seat where Republican Rep. Mark Green stepped down in July to take a job in the private sector, is also currently vacant. The special election to fill the seat will be held on December 2.Grijalva, thanks in part to her family name and her support from national progressive rock stars, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, grabbed over 60% of the primary vote this summer in a five-candidate showdown.Progressive activist and social media influencer Deja Foxx came in a distant second.Grijalva, who with her victory became Arizona's first Latina in Congress, targeted President Donald Trump as she campaigned,"In Congress, I commit to fight Trumps cruel agenda, like the Big Ugly Bill that took away coverage from nearly 383,000 Arizonans and 142,000 children," Grijalva pledged in a social media post, as she took aim at Trump, congressional Republicans, and their sweeping domestic policy measure that they named the One Big Beautiful Bill.Grijalva had also said that if she won, she would immediately sign a discharge petition by Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. The petition, which is currently just one vote shy of passing, calls on the GOP-controlled House to vote to urge the Justice Department to release the files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Butierez, as he campaigned, had been promoting himself as the change candidate in a district controlled by Democrats since the seat was created over two decades ago."This is your chance to actually get a Representative who will represent everyone. If you vote we win, if you don't only the radicals will have representation," he wrote on X.Butierez, who as the 2024 GOP congressional nominee lost to the elder Grijalva while Trump narrowly carried the southwestern battleground state at the top of the ballot, easily won this summer's Republican primary in the special election.While Trump carried Arizona last year after losing it in 2020, 2024 Democratic presidential nominee and then-Vice President Kamala Harris won the district by 23 points.Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin, in a statement after the race was called, said that "Rep.-elect Grijalva won a hard-fought race. Now, Arizonans will have a fighter in their corner who will stand up to Trump on behalf of families who want to see real leadership in Washington."0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
