By SYLVIE CORBET, JOHN LEICESTER and LEWIS JOLY (Associated Press)NANTERRE, France (AP) — Young rioters clashed with police and looted stores overnight Friday in a fourth night of unrest in France triggered by the deadly police shooting of a teen, piling more pressure on President Emmanuel Macron after he appealed to parents to keep children off the streets and blamed social media for fueling violence.While the situation appeared to be somewhat calmer compared to previous nights, turmoil gripped several cities across the country. Protesters overturned garbage bins and used them to block off streets in Colombe, a Paris suburb near Nanterre, where the shooting occurred Tuesday. In the southern Mediterranean port city of Marseille, officers arrested nearly 90 people as groups of protesters lit cars on fire and broke store windows to take what was inside, police said. Looters broke into a gun shop and made off with weapons, and a man was later arrested with a hunting rifle, police...

Mets suffer another heartbreaking defeat after David Robertson blows lead against Giants

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:19:26 GMT

Putting a slim lead in the hands of the Mets bullpen is a risky game these days. It was no different Friday night when David Robertson gave up a three-run homer to a rookie catcher from the San Francisco Giants, dooming the Mets to a 5-4 loss in the first game of a three-game series at Citi Field.Up 4-2, the team went to David Robertson, their most trusted high-leverage reliever to start the eighth inning. After getting the first out, Joc Pederson reached on an error when Alonso couldn’t make a flip to Robertson at first base. He then walked J.D. Davis to put two on.Then came Patrick Bailey, a 24-year-old playing in just his 33rd big league game. Robertson (2-2), a 38-year-old veteran who has pitched more like a 24-year-old this season, threw him a cutter for a strike, a knuckle curve outside and then another one right over the plate. Bailey did what a hitter at any level would do with a mistake pitch and drove it out of the park to put the Giants (46-36) back on top.The Mets ...
