Twins walked off by Red Sox in wild loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:06:03 GMT

BOSTON — All night, it seemed, Boston Red Sox hitters were mounting threat after threat, on the verge of breaking through against Sonny Gray. They never did, a credit to the veteran starter on a night when he seemed to be working without his best stuff.Red Sox starter Chris Sale looked like vintage Sale at the beginning of the game, striking out seven of nine batters the first time through the order.And yet, though the Red Sox threatened all night and the Twins were limited to just four hits, the game wasn’t decided until a see-saw 10th inning when, after the Twins scored two runs in the top of the inning, the Red Sox walked off with three more. After a lengthy review where both teams were standing on the field awaiting their fate, Alex Verdugo’s hit to right was confirmed, handing the Red Sox a 5-4 10-inning win at Fenway Park.That came after a Reese McGuire two-run single earlier in the inning that tied the game, washing out the two runs the Twins had scored on a Byron Buxton sacr...

Netflix Will End Its DVD Service After 25 Years

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:06:03 GMT

Call up your Luddite loved ones and your nostalgic friends who still cherish physical media. After 25 years, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail business.Before it was upending the entertainment industry and ushering in the streaming era, Netflix was a company whose business model revolved around sending DVDs through the mail in easily recognizable red-and-white envelopes. At its peak, in 2010, roughly 20 million subscribed to the DVD service. But the practice has long felt anachronistic, and the company said Tuesday that it will ship its final DVDs to customers on Sept. 29.How many customers? Netflix doesn’t break out those numbers anymore. But whoever they are, it’s time for them to dust off any DVDs they might have lying around and send their red envelopes back to Los Gatos, California, where they can be retired to the landfills for good.“Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift...
