Mariners pitcher George Kirby takes 165km/h baseball to the face in scary scenes
Mariners pitcher George Kirby was left bloodied in a scary scene Tuesday night when he was hit in the face with a 165km/h line drive off the bat of Orioles infielder Ramon Urias. Luckily, Kirby used his catlike reflexes to get his hand and glove up right before the ball the ball struck him in the fifth inning of a 5-1 loss, the New York Post reports. Kirby had blood on his face after being hit, but avoided a broken jaw or any other serious injury in what proved to be his final pitch after the Mariners converted an out on the play. '(Feeling) pretty good,' Kirby said after the game, per the Seattle Times. 'Didn't even hurt, honestly. It got my hand — like 50/50 hand (and) mouth. But we're good.' While the Mariners suffered a loss Tuesday, they are certainly counting their blessings that Kirby got his hand up to brace some of the impact and avoid a potential devastating injury. Mariners manager Dan Wilson told reporters postgame that Kirby would get X-rays to be sure that he avoided the worst and even expressed optimism that Kirby could make his next start. 'I didn't even see it coming, just put my hand up,' Kirby said, per 'I'm just glad it kind of missed any of the bad spots on my face.' Kirby had struggled through three starts, but Tuesday marked one of his best showings this season. The righty allowed two runs over five innings while striking out three batters. His night ended on said play when the ball caromed off his face toward first baseman Rowdy Tellez to end the top of the inning with a 2-1 deficit. He currently lines up to face the Angels on Sunday, but Kirby could have that pushed back as he breathes a sigh of relief that this situation wasn't much worse. After Tuesday's loss, the Mariners are 32-27 and a half-game behind the division-leading Astros.

Trump says Iran 'slowwalking' as Khamenei opposes nuclear proposal
US President Donald Trump accused Tehran on Wednesday of "slowwalking" on a nuclear deal, after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the latest proposal from Washington was against the national interest. The longtime foes have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new accord to replace the deal with major powers that Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018, but sharp differences remain over whether Tehran can continue to enrich uranium. On Saturday, Iran said it had received "elements" of the US proposal through Omani mediators, the details of which have not been publicly disclosed. "The proposal presented by the Americans is 100 percent against" notions of independence and self-reliance, Khamenei said in a televised speech, invoking ideals of the 1979 Islamic revolution. "Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America." Iran's enrichment of uranium has emerged as a major point of contention. Trump said on Monday his administration would not allow "any" enrichment, despite Tehran's insistence it is its right under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin who "suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran". "It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!" Trump said. - Low-level enrichment - Khamenei said enrichment is "key" to Iran's nuclear programme and that the United States "cannot have a say" on the issue. "If we have 100 nuclear power plants but don't have enrichment, they will be of no use to us," because "nuclear power plants need fuel" to operate, he said. The New York Times reported Tuesday that the US proposal includes "an arrangement that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium at low levels" as the US and other countries "work out a more detailed plan intended to block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon". It said the proposal would see the United States facilitating "the building of nuclear power plants for Iran and negotiate the construction of enrichment facilities managed by a consortium of regional countries". Iran has previously said it is open to temporary limits on its enrichment of uranium, and is willing to consider the establishment of a regional nuclear fuel consortium. But it has stressed that such a consortium is "in no way intended to replace Iran's own uranium enrichment programme". Iran's chief negotiator, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, said in a Wednesday post on X: No enrichment, no deal. No nuclear weapons, we have a deal." Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal but still short of the 90 percent threshold needed for a nuclear warhead. - 'Less than satisfactory' - The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in its latest quarterly report last week that Iran had further stepped up its production of highly enriched uranium. In a separate report, it also criticised "less than satisfactory" cooperation from Tehran, particularly in explaining past cases of nuclear material found at undeclared sites. The reports came ahead of a planned IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna later this month which will review Iran's nuclear activities. Washington and other Western governments have continued to accuse Iran of seeking a nuclear weapons capability. Iran insists its programme is for peaceful purposes only. The 2015 deal provided Iran with relief from international sanctions in return for UN-monitored restrictions on its nuclear activities. Trump reimposed US sanctions when he quit the agreement in 2018 and has since tightened them with secondary sanctions against third parties who violate them. Britain, France and Germany, the three European countries who were party to the 2015 deal, are currently weighing whether to trigger the sanctions "snapback" mechanism in the accord. The mechanism would reinstate UN sanctions in response to Iranian non-compliance -- an option that expires in October. Iran has criticised the IAEA report as unbalanced, saying it relied on "forged documents" provided by its arch foe Israel.
