Bats deliver again as Blue Jays outscore A's
TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays' offence was in desperate need of a kick-start at the start of the team's seven-game homestand. A visit by the reeling Athletics appears to be just what the squad was looking for. Toronto reached a double-digit run total for a second straight night in an 11-7 victory on Friday night. 'Right now is the time to try to put your best foot forward and get a little bit better at the things we need to get a bit better at,' said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. 'And I think they're doing that.' Addison Barger and Ernie Clement hit solo homers for the Blue Jays, who outhit the Athletics 15-10. Barger and Myles Straw scored three runs apiece as Toronto won its fifth straight home game in front of an announced crowd of 36,951. Story continues below advertisement 'Contributions from everyone tonight,' Schneider said. 'It was nice the way we responded (almost) every time they scored. Big hits, and I think we ran the bases really well.' A night after pounding the visitors 12-0 in the series opener, the 29-28 Blue Jays picked up where they left off to move over the .500 mark for the first time since April 21.

The bottom four hitters in the order — Clement, Barger, Straw and Nathan Lukes — combined for nine hits and nine runs. After scoring six total runs over their recent six-game road trip, the Blue Jays have been scoring in bunches. Toronto took a 3-1 lead in the second inning and Clement, who had four hits, led off the Blue Jays' three-run third with a homer.

'I think we're just being aggressive and swinging a lot,' Barger said. 'In Tampa and Texas we put a lot of good swings on balls that just got (hit) to guys. So balls are starting to drop and go over the wall. 'I think that's really the big thing.' Chris Bassitt (5-3) worked five innings for the victory. He had six strikeouts and allowed five earned runs, seven hits and two walks. The veteran right-hander was left frustrated with his performance. 'It's been too, way too inconsistent of a year,' Bassitt said. 'When I'm on, I'm really good, but half the time I'm off. I'm not eating any innings and not having quality starts.' Jeffrey Springs (5-4) lasted two frames for the Athletics, who have lost 15 of their last 16 games. He gave up six earned runs, six hits and six walks. Tyler Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers hit solo homers for the Athletics (23-35). After the game, Schneider confirmed that Braydon Fisher would serve as Toronto's opener on Saturday afternoon. The Athletics will counter with Gunnar Hoglund. Story continues below advertisement This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 30, 2025.

Jacksonville City Council approves sale of Profile Cotton Mill for demolition
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (WIAT) — The Jacksonville City Council voted this week to approve the sale of the Profile Cotton Mill. Benjamin Nunnally, who is the spokesperson for the city, confirmed that the part of the building owned by the city will now be sold to K&D Adventures, LLC and Kevin Steward for demolition and removal. According to the Alabama Historical Commission marker, the Profile Cotton Mill dates back to 1905. In 2006, the Profile Mill Complex and Profile Mill Village were added to the National Register of Historic Places, according to the historical marker database. On Friday afternoon, CBS 42 News had the opportunity to visit the building owned by the city that some people had hoped to save. Old equipment still lines the walls of the newer portion of the mill that was added later. In the older part of the building, shards of cotton are still visible hanging from what remains of the tumbler. David Schneider with Schneider Historic Preservation, LLC, who worked to get the property's historical designation, wishes the city had allowed for more time to find a buyer who would be interested in developing the property instead of demolishing it. 'The economy was really bad in 2020, and the interest rate's been horrible since, and the developers haven't been doing anything,' Schneider said. 'But that's turned around,' he added. 'Since the beginning of the year I've had more projects than I know what to do with. It was just a matter of time before we get somebody that would be interested in the building.' Nunnally explained why the city council decided to sell the building. 'Right now, we have somebody who is interested in purchasing the property who has been working on purchasing the property for the last eight years,' he said. Nunnally said, while the city would have preferred to keep it, they haven't had any offers and eventually might have to pay for the demolition themselves. Congressman says Space Command weeks away from moving to Alabama 'The people who asked for us to hold off and look for more solutions have not brought us anything to work with,' he explained. 'It seems like there's really no reason not to go ahead and move forward.' Nunnally said that once the agreement is signed, the buyer will demolish the building and salvage parts of it. Schneider, who said he was hired by the city to get the mill its historical designation, said it's important for people to understand where they come from. 'It's a tangible reminder of our past, and when you lose it, it's gone,' Schneider said. 'And again, as long as it's still standing there's hope, but once it's gone it's gone.' Nunnally said he expects the agreement to be signed on Monday. The land the building sits on is owned by the city, and they would still be able to develop it. Nunnally said they would then add some type of historical marker to the site. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Schneider stays out in front as Gale makes his move
Marcel Schneider remains the man to catch at the halfway stage of the Austrian Alpine Open in Salzburg after posting a flawless 66 to keep his two-shot lead. Australia's Daniel Gale also carded an impressive 66 on Friday, following his first-round 68, to occupy joint sixth place, six under and five shots off the lead. Schneider started the day two clear of the chasing pack after Thursday's opening 63 and made a patient start to the second round early in the morning, opening with seven straight pars before picking up back-to-back birdies on the eighth and ninth to turn in 33. And the German made further gains on the 14th and 18th to set the clubhouse target at 11 under par. None of the later starters were able to catch the 35-year-old at the top, with countryman Nicolai von Dellingshausen his nearest challenger on nine under par. England's Callum Tarren was alone in third another shot further back after carding seven birdies and no bogeys in his 63. New Zealand's Daniel Hillier finished with an eagle on the 18th to sit alongside South African Jayden Schaper on seven under. Schneider got his first birdie of the day courtesy of a 22ft putt at the eighth before holing from long range from just off the ninth green for a second successive gain. A confidence-boosting par save from around six feet followed on the 10th before Schneider picked up his next birdie with a 20-footer on the par-three 14th. Schneider finished off his round with a close-range birdie on the 18th to remain on course for a maiden win at this level. "I have to say, off the tee I wasn't as strong as yesterday. But I managed well on the holes where I missed the fairways to come out with par, so I didn't drop a shot. Overall, super happy." Danny List, who bounced back from a first-round 71 to post a 66, joined Gale in making the cut but fellow Australians David Micheluzzi and Jason Scrivener both fell short.

Marcel Schneider has control in Austria, Conor Purcell slips back
Marcel Schneider is in control at the Austrian Alpine Open, shooting a super four-under 66 on Friday to stay two shots clear on 11-under-par. Schneider had four birdies and no bogeys in a serene round at Gut Altentann, with fellow German Nicolai von Dellingshausen his nearest challenger on nine-under. England's Callum Tarren is third a shot further back, while New Zealander Daniel Hillier and South African Jayden Schaper are seven-under. Ireland's Conor Purcell is one-under after following up Thursday's 68 with a one-over 71. "My plan was to continue what I did yesterday, and that worked out well," said Schneider. "I have to say, off the tee I wasn't as strong as yesterday. But I managed well on the holes where I missed the fairways to come out with par, so I didn't drop a shot. Overall, super happy. "Even struggling a bit off the tee, I was never in big trouble. But out of the semi-rough you could easily miss a green and not make up and down. I'm happy with the short game and shots into the green. "It's great having the support. Playing close to home is always nice. I love being in Austria as well. I like that."
