"It makes me angry," said Tristin Kubiak, who jumped from a third-floor window with his wife and dog to escape the fire. Kubiak said the property should be doing more to guard the building.

Brayan Bello says he’s ready after strong rehab start with WooSox

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:04:18 GMT

WORCESTER — Heading into this week the hope was Brayan Bello would only need just one more rehab start before he’d be ready to make his big league return.He sure looked ready Tuesday night.Bello was sharp in what should be his final rehab start with the Worcester Red Sox, allowing one run over six strong innings of work. The second-year right-hander struck out four, allowed four hits and no walks, and threw 81 pitches (50 for strikes) in Worcester’s 10-3 loss to the Columbus Clippers.“I think this is my last start here,” Bello said afterwards via translator Jesus Quinonez. “It’s their decision, I don’t know the plan or what they’re thinking but I think I’m ready to go back.”The lone blemish on his line was a fourth inning solo home run surrendered to Zack Collins, but other than that Bello was in control, with his fastball topping out at 97 mph. All of his strikeouts were swinging, and Bello also generated lots of weak cont...

B’s win to set points record, lose Linus Ullmark to injury

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:04:18 GMT

The Bruins won their 64th game of the season in their regular season Garden finale on Tuesday, but they did not escape their 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals without a major concern.Linus Ullmark had to leave the game with 9:39 left in the third period. Just a little bit earlier in the game, he had gotten up slowly after he slid into the post in attempt to make the save. There was no immediate word on his condition.Ullmark, the clear Vezina Trophy favorite, is arguably the team MVP. And as good as Jeremy Swayman has been this year, especially lately, any potential loss of Ullmark would be devastating.Otherwise, the B’s checked a few boxes in the home finale:*Get Brad Marchand off the schneid? Check. He snapped a 16-game goal-less streak.*Continue rebuilding the power play? Check. They went 2-for-2 and looked good doing it.*Set the record for most points in a season? Check. They earned their 132nd and 133rd point, surpassing the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens. That Habs tea...
