Company at heart of Coldplay viral video releases tongue-in-cheek clip - with a big twist
The company at the centre of a viral video at a Coldplay concert has released a tongue-in-cheek clip on social media - featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as a "temporary spokesperson". Astronomer was thrust into the spotlight after two of the tech firm's senior executives were filmed embracing on a kiss cam during a gig in Boston. Andy Byron subsequently resigned as chief executive officer - while the woman in the video, Kristin Cabot, stepped down as chief people officer a few days later. 0:28 Paltrow, who used to be married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, is seen sitting at a desk in the new video uploaded to X - and begins by thanking the public for their interest in Astronomer. She adds: "I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days - and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." Before the final word appears, the video cuts back to Paltrow, who goes on to promote some of the services Astronomer offers. In a subtle nod to the countless column inches the company has attracted, Paltrow adds: "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation." Another question then pops up on screen, which begins to type out: "How is your social media team holding up?" But before the sentence fully appears, Paltrow abruptly interrupts by declaring that Astronomer has spaces at an upcoming conference in September. "We'll now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers," she adds at the end of the video. The marketing stunt is a sign that Astronomer is trying to put a positive spin on the scandal, which sparked feverish speculation online. After Mr Byron resigned, the company had said in a statement: "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." Pete DeJoy, who has taken over as interim CEO, admitted on Monday that the company has faced an "unusual and surreal" amount of attention in recent days.

Nathan Eovaldi continues to dominate as Rangers cruise past Braves
July 26 - Jonah Heim homered and Sam Haggerty had an RBI double and scored a run to back a solid start by Nathan Eovaldi as the Texas Rangers stayed hot with an 8-3 win over the sputtering Atlanta Braves on Friday in the first of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers won their fourth straight game and 12th in their past 15 outings while Atlanta dropped its third consecutive contest. Texas, led by Haggerty's two hits, outhit the Braves 8-6. Eovaldi (8-2), returning to the mound after missing his last scheduled start because of a stiff back, gave up three hits in five scoreless innings while walking four and striking out seven. It was the seventh start this season in which Eovaldi did not allow a run. Joey Wentz (2-2), making just his second start since 2023, allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over 4 1/3 innings. The Rangers got on the board in their first at bat. Haggerty -- who was reinstated from the injured list just prior to the game -- led off with a single, went to third on a stolen base and a throwing error on the steal and trotted home on a sacrifice fly by Marcus Semien. Texas added to the lead with Heim's two-out solo home run in the second. In the fourth, Semien walked to begin the inning and stole second. He raced home on a double to left field by Wyatt Langford to push the Rangers' advantage to 3-0. Haggerty's double in the fifth off Atlanta reliever Aaron Bummer plated Michael Helman, who had singled, and expanded Texas' lead. The Braves finally responded as Micheal Harris II homered off Texas' reliever Jacob Latz to lead off the seventh inning. Texas put away the game in the eighth with plenty of help from the Braves. After singles by Adolis Garcia and Josh Jung and a walk from to Langford, reliever Rafael Montero issued a bases-loaded walk to Heim to score a run. Hunter Stratton relieved for Atlanta and hit Josh Smith with a pitch to score another run, Evan Carter singled to drive in a third run in the frame and Rowdy Tellez added a sacrifice fly to make it 8-1. Jurickson Profar and Matt Olson had a RBIs in the ninth for the Braves but it was far too little, too late. --Field Level Media

Athletics rookie Nick Kurtz hits 4 HRs against Astros
July 26 - Athletics designated hitter Nick Kurtz hit four home runs in his team's 15-3 road win over the Houston Astros on Friday night, becoming the first rookie in major league history to accomplish the feat. He is the 20th player in big-league history to hit four home runs in a game. The Arizona Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez hit four home runs against the Atlanta Braves on April 26 -- three days after Kurtz made his major league debut. Kurtz's fourth homer came in the ninth inning, a three-run shot off Astros outfielder Cooper Hummel that gave him six hits and eight RBIs on the night. The homer was his 23rd in just his 66th career game. Kurtz ended the game 6-for-6. He singled in the first inning, hit a two-run homer in the second, added an RBI double in the fourth, belted solo shots in the sixth and eighth, then connected again in the ninth. --Field Level Media
