OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Tony Kemp said he lost sleep over his costly error on Monday. It didn’t take him long to make up for it.The second baseman hit a game-ending single in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night to give the Oakland Athletics a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians.“Today’s a new day,” Kemp said. “You just continue to grind it out with your teammates. We’ve got a great group here. The season is young.”Ryan Noda led off the ninth with a walk against James Karinchak (0-2). Noda advanced to second on a groundout by Esteury Ruiz before Kemp singled him home.“I faced (Karinchak) a couple of times in the past,” Kemp noted. “He’s a guy that you definitely don’t want to get behind in the count, so I was just trying to get a fastball in the zone early and put a good swing on it, and it worked out for us.”Ruiz and Jace Peterson also drove in runs to help Oakland snap a six-game home losing streak to Cleveland.Trevor May (2-1) pitched a scoreless inning for the win....MacKinnon scores 2, leads Avalanche past Sharks 4-3 in OT

BRUSSELS — An awkward dynamic was on full display as NATO foreign ministers met with their Ukrainian counterpart on Tuesday.Arriving at NATO headquarters in Brussels on the day Finland formally became a member of the alliance, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba offered congratulations and declared that “Ukraine is aiming at reaching the same goal, becoming a full member of NATO.” “It will be one of the topics of our conversations here in Brussels, of how can we move forward,” he said. Despite vast amounts of Western military assistance to Ukraine amid the war with Russia, NATO’s direct support has been limited to nonlethal aid. And while Kyiv formally requested “accelerated accession” to join NATO in September last year, the alliance is divided on how to tackle that demand. As Finland’s flag was raised in front of its HQ, across the street a group of pro-Ukrainian protesters chanted: “Ukraine in NATO!”And while Kuleba was more diplomatic, he conveyed a similar m...South Korea to test sewage samples for COVID-19

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea this month will begin weekly tests of sewage produced by its major cities and towns to track the spread of COVID-19 and identify future waves.Officials at the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said Wednesday that wastewater surveillance will potentially provide a cheaper and more sustainable tool in the country’s pandemic response. They say it could also improve the detection of other outbreaks, such as influenza, norovirus or drug-resistant bacteria. According to the plans, health workers will conduct tests on sewage samples collected from 64 wastewater facilities nationwide at least once a week and regularly release analyses of the test results on its website.KDCA said its recent trial runs with cities and provincial governments showed that the levels of pathogens found in sewage samples largely aligned with infection trends in those areas, confirming the value of testing water released from faucets, toilets and bathtubs.
