SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Bochy was always known for his bullpen strategy, and he pulled out a doozy Saturday evening that flummoxed the Giants and his counterpart, Gabe Kapler.Starting a lineup that featured seven right-handed hitters, the Giants had no answer when the Bochy pulled his starter, lefty Andrew Heaney, in the second inning for funky right-hander Grant Anderson, who teamed up with Chris Stratton to mow down the Giants on their way to another listless loss, 9-3.The Rangers’ (70-47) surprise switcheroo put the matchup-dependent Giants (62-55) on the wrong side of the platoon advantage for much of the game, managing only one run on four hits from the third through the eighth inning, until Heliot Ramos tacked on one run in the ninth with his first career home run against lefty Brock Burke, performing mop-up duty.They went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base, three of whom were stranded after a bases-loaded, inning-ending double play immedi...Gonsolin works 6 solid innings and Dodgers slug 3 homers in a 4-1 win over the Rockies

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Fans waved a German flag and chanted Dirk Nowitzki’s name when he walked the red carpet into Symphony Hall on Saturday night for the Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony. In his acceptance speech, the former Dallas big man told his parents, “Danke.”Tony Parker’s fans whooped it up when he took the stage to lead off the proceedings. “There are a lot of French people in town. Sorry,” the San Antonio Spurs point guard said.Spain was well-represented, too, with Pau Gasol shouting out his national team — “mi familia” — before joining what may be the greatest international class of inductees in the Springfield shrine’s history. “I want to give a special mention to those first Europeans, who came here, across the ocean, who took a chance,” said Gasol, who fell in love with the sport when the 1992 Olympics were held in his hometown, Barcelona. “I was 12. It changed my life. The Dream Team showed us how basketball could be played.”The Class of 2023 brought ...Maryland religion literacy course an eyeopener for educators
