Game 2 preview: Celtics need to bounce back in home opener, and will need to do it against the Knicks

But Rays manager Kevin Cash challenged the out call at second base. Right field umpire Tripp Gibson waved his arms like a traffic cop, shooing people off the field as players from both teams watched replays on the scoreboard. The Rays had nothing to lose by challenging, and they were right. Milwaukee shortstop Cooper Pratt was pulled off second base before he threw to first. Tampa Bay now had the go-ahead run at second base trailing, 3-2. But not for long. Brewers closer Trevor Megill tucked his jersey back in and struck out Jonny DeLuca on five pitches to end the game.

Only Jack McKeon, who was 72 when he managed the Marlins past the Yankees in 2003, was older. But Murphy doesn’t cling to the past. The Brewers not getting the benefit of the doubt on the old “neighborhood play” at second base didn’t bother him. “Let’s get it right,” Murphy said. “Let’s not call the neighborhood play.

EASTVALE, Calif. (KABC) -- Landscapers in Eastvale and Brentwood have lost expensive lawn equipment in quick thefts captured on security video this month, leaving both victims without machinery vital to their work. It appears both thefts were executed by the same criminals. Video from an Eastvale home shows two hooded, masked thieves lifting a large piece of lawn equipment into the back of a white SUV before driving away. The equipment belonged to a neighborhood landscaper, according to resident Sylvia Renteria. “He went to do a home, and when he did the front, while he was at the back of the house, he said they stole it — went to the front and saw it was gone,” Renteria said. The theft happened on Tuesday, Oct. 20, around 11 a.m. outside an Eastvale home in the Jurupa Valley. The thieves were gone by the time deputies arrived. Renteria said the stolen lawnmower was new and had cost the landscaper nearly $3,000. “He had purchased this lawnmower, cost him almost $3,000. It was very high tech, and he was so proud of himself because it helped him a lot,” she said.

PARIS (AP) — Major museums in Paris closed and authorities deployed a sizable police force for a round of new protests Saturday across France, hoping to prevent a repeat of last week’s violent unrest that shocked the country. Scenes of looting, burned-out cars and attacks on public buildings left the impression that the government had lost control, as groups of masked vandals targeted businesses in Paris and other city centers. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said as many as 70,000 officers will be deployed nationwide, along with helicopters, armored vehicles and water cannons. A massive turnout is expected again after more than half a million took to the streets last week. Museums are closed and shopkeepers are worriedMajor museums including the Louvre, Orsay Museum, Picasso Museum and Grand Palais — where a major Cézanne exhibit is on display — are closed Saturday. Art Basel, one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary art fairs, opened to the public Friday, but only for the day, with the threat of unrest prompting organizers to cancel the weekend program. Parisian shopkeepers have been barricading their stores all week.

The Trump administration confirmed the memo on Friday night through a U. S. official. The move demonstrated the seriousness with which the U. S. government is taking the threat, officials said. Axios earlier reported on the memo. U. S. agencies assess that the threat against Americans in the Middle East and several other countries is at the highest level since the start of the war in February, U. S. officials said. President Donald Trump and top aides have received regular briefings on the rising threats, which go beyond the Middle East, one official said. Analysts have been examining the intelligence on the threats to U. S. officials, including ambassadors, in the past three weeks. Some material indicates Iran may have operatives in the United States, the official said. The Iranian plans also include potential targets in Europe, U. S. officials said. But another official cautioned that Iran’s ability to carry out attacks in the United States and other territories overseas is limited, and its ambitions to strike are greater than its capability to do so. The White House did not reply to a request for comment. Clayton’s office and the CIA declined to comment.

So Netanyahu, known by friends and foes as Bibi, reinvented himself. Instead of sticking to Israel’s previous security doctrine centered on short wars of defense, he has waged Israel’s longest war on multiple fronts -- against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, the Houthi militia in Yemen and, together with the United States, Iran. He has doubled down on Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, allowing Jewish settlements to proliferate and settler violence against Palestinians to escalate, further aggravating Israel’s international isolation. “He understood that if he wanted to survive, not only politically but as a historic figure, he had to change,” said Mazal Mualem, an Israeli political commentator and Netanyahu biographer. “He killed off the old Bibi and delivered a new one into the world,” she added. After the Oct. 7 attacks, Netanyahu promised total victory over Hamas and other enemies. While Israel’s military campaign has left those adversaries battered, the wars have been inconclusive. Now, he says there is more to be done, and that he is the one to do it. “We must complete the elimination of the Iranian regime,” he said this past week.

The Archdiocese of New York and plaintiffs’ lawyers were closing in on a settlement Friday in which the church would pay more than $800 million to settle claims from 1,300 people who said they had been sexually abused by its clergy members and lay leaders. The plaintiffs’ lawyers said that they had finalized the settlement with the archdiocese and that all of the plaintiffs had signed off on it. But Joseph Zwilling, a spokesperson for the archdiocese, said in an interview Friday night that the parties were still working to finalize the agreement. “We are not quite there yet,” he said. Terms of the settlement would call for each plaintiff to have the option of receiving a lump-sum payment of at least $250,000, or a potentially larger payout after a review of the extent of the abuse each plaintiff has claimed, according to the plaintiffs’ lawyers. The proposal would end a multiyear saga that threatened to bankrupt the United States’ foremost Roman Catholic archdiocese. The terms of the proposed settlement required that all 1,300 plaintiffs accept it, and there were some holdouts, who argued that the proposal did not do enough to rectify the harms they had experienced.
