Carlos Correas 10th-inning blast lifts Twins past Mariners
Carlos Correa homered leading off the 10th inning as the Minnesota Twins pulled off an improbable comeback to defeat the host Seattle Mariners 12-6 Friday night, Willi Castro hit two homers and Trevor Larnach also went deep for the Twins, who rallied from a four-run deficit. Seattle's Cal Raleigh hit two homers to become the first catcher in major league history to hit 20 by the end of May. Teammate Randy Arozarena also homered. Correa hit the first pitch of the 10th from reliever Casey Legumina (4-3) over the wall in left-center field to also score ghost runner DaShawn Keirsey Jr. The Twins then loaded the bases with two outs and got a two-run single by Byron Buxton and a two-run double by Larnach to pull away. Twins closer Jhoan Duran (4-1) got the victory. Minnesota scored three runs with two outs in the ninth off Mariners closer Andres Munoz to tie it at 6-6. They were the first earned runs this season allowed by Munoz, who leads the AL with 17 saves. Former Mariner Ty France led off the ninth with a single to right. After Munoz struck out the next two batters, Castro hit a two-run shot to right to pull the Twins within 6-5. Buxton, who was making his return from the injured list (concussion), grounded a single to left, stole second and scored on Larnach's single to center to tie it. Raleigh broke a tie with the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge for the AL lead in homers with a three-run shot, his 20th of the season, off Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews (0-2) in the first. Matthews graduated from the same school as Raleigh -- Smoky Mountain High in Sylva, N.C. Raleigh added a two-run shot in the eighth, his 21st, off Twins reliever Cole Sands, who was his teammate at Florida State. Seattle scored four times in the first inning. J.P. Crawford led off with an infield hit and Jorge Polanco lined a single to right. With one out, Raleigh hit a ball just inside the right-field foul pole. Arozarena followed with a blast into the Twins' bullpen in left-center field. Larnach led off the fourth with a homer to right. Ryan Jeffers followed with a double to left, took third on a groundout and scored on Brooks Lee's grounder to second as the Twins halved their deficit. Castro went deep to right-center with two outs in the seventh to make it 4-3. Raleigh curled another homer around the right-field foul pole in the eighth after Julio Rodriguez singled with two outs. Matthews settled down after the first and went seven innings. He gave up four runs on six hits, with one walk and seven strikeouts. Mariners starter Bryan Woo went 6 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on six hits, with one walk and three strikeouts.

Northeast Ohio businessman preparing for trip to the final frontier
CLEVELAND (WJW) – A Northeast Ohio businessman, author and world traveler is about to rocket into outer space. Paul Jeris, known as 'Put-in-Bay Paul,' has always been an explorer at heart and enjoyed going scuba diving, skydiving and visiting 149 countries. But he's about to fulfill a lifelong dream and embark on the final frontier. 'They called me and they said, 'are you ready to go?' Jeris said. 'I was so excited!' Wayne Dawson declared cancer-free after treatment He had been on a waiting list with the private spaceflight company Blue Origin for years. He hoped they would call, but now he can't believe it's actually happening. 'Low and behold, here I am and I couldn't be more excited,' he said. It's something he has dreamed about since he was a small child watching his father go to work at the NASA Glenn Research Center. 'He was always a rocket dad,' Jeris said. 'I got to grow up watching my father work on the Mariner, the Voyager, the Viking missions and was fascinated by rockets and I still am.' He said he will be flying with five other crew members on the New Shepard rocket, which is the same reusable aircraft William 'Captain Kirk' Shatner rode on during his trip. Jeris said they will undergo three days of training in Texas, then launch over 2,300 miles straight up into outer space. They will float there for 10-12 minutes and then return to earth. He can't wait to see the planets curvature and experience something called the overview effect. 'Looking at that thin blue line and to go above that and see that life and death part of Earth. That thin blue line that surrounds earth and see how fragile our planet is and to go up there and look down,' he said. He can't give the exact dates, but said it's very soon. He also can't say how much it costs, only that he's been saving for it his whole life. 'Something that you dream about and in my life I never thought it would come true,' Paul said, choked up. Going with him on the journey are some special objects from friends and family, including a Put-in-Bay Gazette and Herkimer natural diamonds. But the most important items come from his father who recently passed away at 92. 'I'm going to bring his NASA badge and Marine Corps badge,' he said. State-of-the-art robotic mowers make maintenance easier at local golf club Making his father proud and keeping his spirit with him as he journeys among the stars. 'It's like really real,' he said with tears in his eyes, 'I think of my dad, him growing up reading this, little Parma boy does good.' Jeris also serves on several local and regional tourism boards, enjoys giving back and in 2022 traveled to Ukraine on his own to assist refugees. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Google envisions a world where Gemini is a 'universal AI'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. During I/O 2025, Google's DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, discussed the company's ambitious outlook for Gemini. Google reportedly wants Gemini to become a "universal AI" and morph it into a "world model," capable of understanding and simulating the world to make plans. Hassabis adds that Google wants to incorporate Project Mariner's multitasking power and Project Astra's visual understanding to Gemini to help achieve this. Google's AI just seems to progress; however, the company is now detailing its true vision for its software. In a post written by Google's DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, the company discussed how it wants to go about building a "universal AI." This plan is firmly set on the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which Google says is wants to morph into a "world model." Hassabis states there's are hopes for Gemini to become an AI that can "make plans and imagine new experiences." This will reportedly be done by enabling the AI to "understand and simulate aspects of the world." Google attributes this way of thinking and forethought to that of the human brain. Hassabis says the company isn't starting from zero with these ambitions. The company has reportedly observed instances of this world understanding and simulation in Gemini when natural environments are involved. Google stresses that it wants Gemini to become intelligent, one that can understand the "context you're in" and "take action on your behalf, across devices." Speaking of tasks, Hassabis explains that Google has been mulling over the thought of bringing Project Mariner into Gemini for multitasking. Project Mariner revealed itself to users in December, and Google says it's been hard at work, working with testers to gather feedback on it. Since December, Mariner has grown to have the ability to complete ten tasks at once, says Hassabis. The agents within Project Mariner enable the software to research information, book shows or other events, and research topics all at once. It's this level of multitasking that Hassabis says will help usher Gemini into that "world model" ideal. What's more, Project Astra will work in tandem with Mariner to bring Gemini into a more universal setting. Google states Astra's functions, like video understanding, screen sharing, and memory, will be a great asset. Project Astra has since worked its way into Gemini Live. From that, Google's taken in a load of feedback from users to bring even more to Gemini Live, Search, and the Live API. In March, Google announced that it was bringing Project Astra to Gemini. With these new details, we're now understanding a little better why Google did this, and it's outlook/future plans for Gemini. At the time, Google said it was bringing Project Astra over from its DeepMind team as it prepares for its public launch.
