NEW YORK (AP) — Isiah Kiner-Falefa took a big lead off third base and kept waiting for pitcher Brooks Raley or third baseman Eduardo Escobar to notice. They never did.So he kept going and slid across the plate with one of baseball’s most electrifying plays: a steal of home.“He didn’t acknowledge me. The third baseman didn’t acknowledge me,” Kiner-Falefa said after the Yankees’ 4-3, 10-inning loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday night. “I just couldn’t believe I did that in the big leagues.”With the score 1-1 in the seventh and two on, Kiner-Falefa hit a grounder to shortstop Francisco Lindor, who threw to second base for a forceout. Jeff McNeil’s throw to first was going to be too late to catch Kiner-Falefa, and the ball went off the mitt of rookie Mark Vientos for an error that allowed Josh Donaldson to score.Kiner-Falefa stole second on a 1-1 pitch to Billy McKinney and took third when Francisco Álvarez’s throw skipped into center for an error. Kiner-Falefa’s f...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Sunlight filters through shattered windows, casting a glow upon the dusty furniture and fragments of glass strewn across the floor of the office belonging to Oleksandr Vinkovskyi, director of a Kyiv business where visually impaired people worked.Vinkovskyi is blind, and can’t see the scale of damage caused by debris from one of many Russian-fired drones on the Ukrainian capital last month. But he knows that 80 people, including 54 with a disability who used to work there manufacturing circuit breakers, sockets and hangers, are now out of work.Most of the windows have been shattered, the doors broken, equipment ruined, and a gaping hole marks the wall on the third floor.
