Sale allowed Soto’s shot to right-center leading off the second, his eighth, and Tatis’ 440-foot shot into the second deck in left leading off the sixth, his seventh.Sale struck out eight and walked one.

SAN DIEGO — Before Saturday night, Chris Sale had faced the San Diego Padres once in his career.Back when he was a 25-year-old Chicago White Sox hurler, he’d pitched a 1-run complete game against them on June 1, 2014.Almost exactly nine years later, the now-34-year-old dominated them again. Coming off the first and only 8-inning start by a Red Sox pitcher this season (and his longest since August 8, 2019), Sale went seven innings, struck out eight, and held the Padres to a pair of solo home runs.Through four, Soto’s 409-ft blast was the only hit (and run) Sale gave up. The southpaw punished the slugger for it, too, getting him to strike out swinging on a 97.6 mph four-seamer to end the fourth.A Chris Sale 98-mph K for your viewing pleasure. pic.twitter.com/2dg4M6HrN3— Red Sox (@RedSox) May 21, 2023Following the Soto homer, Sale sat down the next nine batters before beginning the fifth with a leadoff walk to Nelson Cruz.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An extremist Israeli Cabinet minister visited a sensitive Jerusalem holy site on Sunday at a time of heightened tensions with the Palestinians.The visit by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, his second known visit since becoming a member of Israel’s most right-leaning government ever, was likely to draw condemnations from the Palestinians and elsewhere in the Muslim world.“I am happy to come up to the Temple Mount, the most important place for the Israeli people,” Ben-Gvir said in a statement following the visit. He praised the police presence at the site, saying it “proves who is in charge in Jerusalem.”The visit comes days after Israelis marked Jerusalem Day, which celebrates Israel’s capturing of east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war.

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy huddled with some of his biggest backers at the Group of Seven meeting in Hiroshima on Sunday, hoping to add to the momentum for his country’s war effort even as Russia claimed a symbolic victory on the battlefield.
