tie

LAS VEGAS — The Dodgers have hired former Marlins hitting coach Pedro Guerrero, filling the one opening on their major-league coaching staff.

The team announced the move Tuesday, during the first day of MLB’s general managers meetings. Guerrero will work alongside Robert Van Scoyoc to round out the team’s hitting-coach duo.

Guerrero spent two seasons as the Marlins hitting coach before the team decided not to retain him for the 2027 season, opting for a “new voice,” as president of baseball operations Peter Bendix put it, while praising Guerrero as a person and a coach.

Guerrero has ties to the Dodgers organization, as a minor league player in 2006-2013. He also served as the bench coach for Rookie-Advanced Ogden in 2016-17.

Guerrero went on to work as an assistant hitting coach for the Phillies (2018-21) and Giants (2022-24) before joining the Marlins.

Guerrero replaces Aaron Bates, who parted ways with the Dodgers last week after contract negotiations reached a stalemate.

COLDPLAY’S Guy Berryman has returned to his native Scotland to tie the knot at a five-star hotel.

The bass player, 48, married partner Johanna Winona Ekmark at the Fife Arms in Braemar.

The Aberdeenshire venue is a favourite with the rich and famous.

Guy, now living in the Netherlands, was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, and for-med Coldplay with Chris Martin after meeting at university in London.

His wife, 32, is a Swedish singer who uses the stage name Winona Oak.

A statement issued on his behalf said: “Scotland has always remained a huge part of who he is.

“For Guy it was about sharing one of the most important moments of his life in the country he loves and beginning their married life somewhere that holds such deep ­personal meaning.”

He has three children with previous partners.

Chris Martin is known for singing about time through his band’s hit 2002 song, Clocks.

But the Coldplay frontman’s family has a long historical connection to timepieces.

The singer is actually the great-great-grandson of William Willett.

Willett was the British builder who first campaigned for changing the clocks, and what would become known as British Summer Time.

The managers of both teams were on the touchline but even they were struggling as tactics went out of the window.

“[Notts County boss] Martin Paterson said credit to Altrincham, they were the better team in the first half and, as for the second, I couldn’t see it. He was laughing,” said Bower.

“Neil Gibson, the Altrincham manager, was saying, ‘We were trying to get down to pitchside to look tactically at what they had done after those four substitutions. Have they changed shape? Is it a back four? Have they gone to a box midfield? But we just couldn’t see’.

“So even from a tactical point of view, the players had to stop playing long diagonal passes and things like that because they couldn’t see, they were just having to play short five, 10 yard passes so the game changed in that sense as well.

“It was very, very close to getting called off.”

Bower said some of the players told him they couldn’t see both goals or the corner flags from the centre circle.

“It will live long in the memory, that’s for sure,” said Bower. “Even on the penalties, you were having to rely on the crowd’s reaction before committing to the tale.

“You couldn’t see the goalkeeper’s save, for instance, until the first replay came in.”

The penalties took place in front of Altrincham fans and, while Bower had replays to call on, the Notts County fans “couldn’t have seen anything” from the other end as they had to go on “crowd reaction”.

“Obviously, the Altrincham fans all had their phones on with the lights trying to put the Notts County players off as well in the fog. A unique evening all around.”

Arsenal’s match with Fleetwood Town in the last-16 of the Carabao Cup was delayed for more than eight minutes after a drone was flown above the stadium during the match.

Referee Michael Salisbury stopped play with one minute and 40 seconds on the clock after spotting the drone flying above the pitch while Arsenal waited to take a free-kick at Highbury Stadium.

The game was halted while the referee spoke to the management and staff on both benches with police also investigating.

The match got back underway with 10 minutes on the clock; the commentator on Sky saying police had located the drone operator.

The “H3 Podcast” is cutting ties with host Ethan Klein after his wife and co-host, Hila Klein, accused him of having an affair for the past six months.

The crew agreed to not continue working with Ethan or profiting in any way, sharing, “We stand with Hila and will support her every step of the way,” an “H3 Podcast” Instagram post read late Thursday evening.

The podcast’s indefinite hiatus comes shortly after Hila accused her husband of infidelity on her own Instagram account late Thursday night.

“I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. …,” she stated on her Instagram post. “I have been fed lie after lie for months. I am tired of lies. Here’s the truth.

“I could sense something was wrong. I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings. But I was met with dismissive answers and no action. Things that bothered me continued to bother me, and he did nothing about it,” Hila wrote.

Ethan and Hila have been together for 20 years and married for 14. They met while Ethan was on a Birthright trip to Israel where Hila was doing mandatory military service in the Israel Defense Forces. They maintained regular contact via Skype before Hila moved to Ethan’s college town of Santa Cruz, according to a 2017 video uploaded by the pair to their YouTube channel, h3h3Productions.

“The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I even begin to make sense of this?” the post continued.

Hila shared that she does not know what comes next, adding, “I’m in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.”

Ethan didn’t immediately respond on Friday to The Times’ request for comment. He did, however, post on social media.

”I know a lot of people are understandably looking for a comment from me,” a post to his Instagram Stories read, “but I ask that you please respect my family’s privacy and do not contact them looking for me or asking for their comments. They have nothing to do with this and share in your outrage and disappointment. Thank you.”

Hila and Ethan share three sons ages 7, 4 and 2.

“All I can do right now is focus on taking care of myself and my children, one day at a time,” Hila said. “You’re not crazy. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself. If you’re not being treated right, get up and leave.”

The couple first rose to internet fame through their popular YouTube channel h3h3Productions, which often featured Ethan and Hila in sketches and vlogs. Around 2013, the channel picked up steam as the couple began posting reaction videos to viral social media clips. As of today, they have amassed over 5 million followers.

“H3 Podcast” began in 2017 and first featured guest interviews with internet personalities such as PewDiePie and Jake Paul.

Many online sleuths were quick to pull out clips from Ethan’s past that might have foreshadowed this incident, including in Oct. 2020 when Ethan’s former “Frenemies” podcast co-host Trisha Paytas said to him: “I feel/lowkey wish you could be single while you’re famous and rich because I feel like you didn’t get that out of your system. Like knowing that every girl wants to f— you because you’re famous and rich.”

Ethan responded: “I mean, it would be fun to date, but I’m not interested in that. I’m very happily married.”

The “H3 Podcast” subseries fizzled out in 2021 due to revenue disputes. Paytas married Hila’s brother, Moses Hacmon, in 2021.

CLEVELAND — Jonathan Aranda’s single led to two runs in the seventh inning when the ball got by right fielder Chase DeLauter, Nick Martinez pitched 5 1/3 innings for his first postseason win and the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 Saturday night to even the AL Championship Series at 2-2.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven matchup is Sunday in Cleveland before the series shifts back to St. Petersburg, Fla. on Monday. There is no off day for travel after Friday’s game was postponed by rain.

“It means a lot because we know that we play well at home in front of our fans. We’ve got a huge game, another swing game tomorrow,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said.

Cleveland’s Travis Bazzana hit his first postseason home run but also had a fielding error at second on a tough night for the Guardians’ defense.

The first four hitters in the Rays order — Yandy Díaz, Aranda, Chandler Simpson and Junior Caminero — had six of the Rays’ 11 hits and drove in six runs after they went seven for 41 with three RBIs the first three ALCS games.

Aranda had three hits and drove in two runs after going 0 for 10 in the first three games. Diaz had two hits and two RBIs, including a two-run homer in the ninth off Matt Festa, while Simpson and Caminero each drove in a run.

“A lot of really good at-bats. A lot of hard hits,” Cash said. “But overall, just happy that Junior squared some balls up, Aranda came through in a big way for us and then Yandy there at the end with a two-run, add-on homer.”

Pitching on a 46-degree night, Martinez (1-0) allowed one run and two hits in his second career postseason start and 10th appearance. After DeLauter’s RBI single put Cleveland up 1-0 in the first, Martinez retired 10 straight at one point before walking Bazzana leading off the fifth.

Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead in the sixth when Caminero lined a double to the left-field wall off Daniel Espino (0-1), then broke open the game in a three-run seventh.

Richie Palacios and Taylor Walls got aboard on base hits and moved into scoring position on a double steal. After Díaz struck out, Aranda lined a single past a diving Bazzana, who was playing near the grass between first and second, and into right field. Palacios scored and when DeLauter allowed the ball under his glove, Walls came around from second. Aranda went to third and scored on Simpson’s sacrifice fly.

“It looked like it may have snaked on him or just skipped by him, took his eye off of it,” Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said. “A couple unfortunate plays for us tonight that we usually complete and just weren’t able to do it.”

Bazzana homered in the seventh against Ian Seymour and Brayan Rocchio added an RBI single as Cleveland closed to 5-3.

Shawn Armstrong opened and struck out one batter in the first inning before giving way to Foster Griffin.

Cleveland rookie Parker Messick (0-2, 3.09 ERA) will make his fourth start this postseason. He went five innings and was charged with three unearned runs in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss in Game 2. Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen (1-0, 1.29 ERA) gave up two runs over six innings in Game 1 and struck out seven before the Guardians rallied for a 7-3 victory.
