Orioles’ Heston Kjerstad hits first MLB home run to break up Rays’ no-hit bid: ‘That was surreal’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:12:21 GMT

From on the field to off it, the Orioles’ young core of current and former top prospects are always competing. Heston Kjerstad knew that playful banter wouldn’t end with his first career home run Friday night.In his second big league game and first start, Kjerstad clobbered a solo home run in his third career at-bat in Baltimore’s 7-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He knew his friend and former No. 1 prospect Gunnar Henderson previously one-upped him, though.“He did it his second [at-bat], not the third one, so he had me beat on that one,” Kjerstad said with a laugh.The 24-year-old was promoted Thursday to reach his destination more than three years after the Orioles made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 draft. The path he traveled to hit his first major league homer was windier than most players who achieve the feat.He missed the first two years of his career with heart and hamstring ailments and didn’t make his professional debut until June 1...

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Catholic Memorial’s winning streak did not survive a trip south.Luke Warnock threw for a pair of touchdowns while the Cardinal Newman defense forced two key turnovers that led to 14 points as the host Crusaders defeated Catholic Memorial, 35-2, on Friday night.The loss for the Knights snaps a Massachusetts-high 30-game winning streak that dates back to the 2019 Division 1 Super Bowl versus St. John’s Prep. Perhaps more notably, the Knights lost three players to potential season-ending injuries, including star running back Mekhi Dodd.“We got guys banged up tonight. We may have lost three key guys,” Catholic Memorial coach John DiBiaso said. “I’ve come down here before. Unfortunately, we had no other options. We had to come down. We needed the game.”Cardinal Newman (4-0) held a 7-0 lead just before the half courtesy of a a J’bo Brown two-yard touchdown run but the Knights seem poised to head into the locker room within...

More than a few eyebrows raised back in May when 50 Cent announced a world tour dubbed The Final Lap, which filled St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center Friday.While the man born Curtis James Jackson III hasn’t confirmed it’s his farewell tour, many wondered if it wasn’t more of a hello tour. His 2003 debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” and its monster single “In da Club” made 50 an instant star. But 50 turned out to be a star that burned hot and fast. His scored his final major hit with 2007’s “Ayo Technology,” which showed up midway through his set, and hasn’t released a new album since 2014’s flop “Animal Ambition.”As his musical career faded, 50’s business instincts kicked in and it turns out he’s pretty good at the whole entrepreneur thing. He’s made millions through a series of endorsements and collaborations in film, apparel, liquor, technology and publishing. His highest-profile project, the Starz crime drama “Power”...
