The Houston Astros entered the 2026 Major League Baseball playoffs as the worst team, by win-loss record, to ever reach the postseason. On Tuesday evening at Daikin Park, they played like it.Needing a win in game 162 to reach October baseball, the Astros delivered, winning 9-0 behind a bullpen game and the 29th homer of the season from Christian Walker. On Tuesday, they tried to run that same formula back again, starting long reliever A.J. Blubaugh, backed up by Bryan King and Miguel Ullola.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX News may be compensated.

Two first inning walks for the White Sox and a throwing error from Walker preceded a sacrifice fly from Munetaka Murakami. And without the benefit of a hit, Chicago took a 1-0 lead. In the second though, the hits started coming. A Chase Meidroth single, Colson Montgomery hit by pitch put two on for Sam Antonacci, who delivered the big blow to put Chicago up 3-0.CLICK HERE FOR…

Troops at Cannon Air Force Base lost at least 5,000 duty days in 2025 because they had to travel long distances for medical care, with some service members traveling as far as 350 miles each way, according to a new Government Accountability Office report.The lack of medical services also came with a financial cost. Cannon officials said the Defense Health Agency spent $28 million on medical care outside the installation in fiscal years 2024 and 2025. In 2025 alone, Cannon had approximately 12,400 referrals to healthcare facilities outside the military health system and approximately $587,000 in reimbursable patient travel expenses because those services could not be provided at the installation or in the immediate vicinity.The findings are part of a broader GAO review of a non-generalizable sample of nine remote and isolated installations, which found challenges providing critical support services including healthcare, childcare, housing, education and recreation.Every installation GAO visited identified challenges with the availability and administration of comprehensive healthcare, including difficulty recruiting qualified civilian candidates, shortages of medical services in local communities and a lack of medical specialties on base. At Cannon, officials said the pay for healthcare positions was too low to attract qualified staff.The staffing problems extend…

U.S. forces are set to depart from their last bases in Iraq by Wednesday, a move celebrated as a victory by Iran and its allies, who now have deep influence in the country where 4,500 Americans died during more than two decades of war.Iraqi security experts say the withdrawal — agreed to in 2024 under U.S. President Joe Biden and carried out by Donald Trump’s administration even as it wages war against Iran — could give Tehran and its allies free rein, while also allowing other U.S. enemies, including the Islamic State, to stage a comeback.“Iran stands to benefit strategically from the coalition’s departure because it removes a military presence that for years acted as a counterweight to Tehran’s influence in Iraq,” said Jasim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi security analyst specialising in studying armed Shi’ite groups aligned with Iran.He predicted that the pro-Iranian militia groups would not only portray the departure as a victory for their movement, but also “seek to translate that momentum into greater influence over security and political decision making.”Abu Mojtaba al-Yasiri, a commander in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an ‌umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, described the U.S. withdrawal as “a historic victory for the Iraqi…

The Defense Department announced this month a $450 million investment in The Elmet Group to strengthen the U.S. supply chain for tungsten, a critical mineral used for manufacturing military weapons ranging from bullets to missiles. The investment comes as a federal procurement rule barring tungsten mined, refined, or processed in China, Russia, Iran and North Korea from defense applications nears its Jan. 1 deadline. In the announcement, the Defense Department said it chose to invest in Elmet because it is “the only U.S.-owned, fully integrated producer of tungsten and molybdenum materials and components.”“This investment reflects the Department’s commitment to rebuilding critical industrial capacity in the United States,” said Michael Cadenazzi, the Defense Department’s assistant secretary for industrial base policy.He added that it will “strengthen supply chain resilience, support high-quality manufacturing jobs, and reinforce the production base behind essential defense systems.”Chris Berry, a critical-minerals analyst, explained on his podcast that China dominates the global tungsten supply chain, while the U.S. has not mined tungsten since 2015. Although ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran have increased pressure on tungsten demand, Berry argued that its rising price is “due almost exclusively to policy choices in Beijing and Washington.”“The free flow of tungsten material…

To bring you up to speed, the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles was preceded by the national anthem – performed by a mariachi band.And what has followed in the nearly 24 hours since that performance is a dispassionate, logical discussion about the quality of the performance and The Mariachi Herencia de México’s choice of going for a big finish the crowd definitely didn’t expect but mostly celebrated.Nope.Sorry, but social media doesn’t do dispassionate or subtle music critique. CALEB WILLIAMS, LIMITED BY A HAMSTRING INJURY, SEEN CASUALLY PACING BEARS SIDELINE DURING NATIONAL ANTHEMWhat it has done is spawn an emotional and at times vitriolic debate that has included charges of racism by one of the group’s performers, counter-charges of the NFL continuing an offensive outsourcing of America’s game to foreigners ……And a United States senator getting involved.So, not tame stuff.And if you cannot abide the heated exchange, then stop right here because the next few paragraphs will get into it.But for the curious and engaged:SINGING THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THE BUFFALO BILLS HOME OPENER WAS A MISTAKEWe begin with the performance itself. To an ear not trained in music’s finer points, it sounded like…

A decommissioned U.S. guided-missile frigate was sent below the seas on Sept. 25 during a joint U.S.-U.K. naval exercise, the U.S. Navy recently announced.The recent SINKEX blended the firepower of U.S. Task Force 65, Task Force 67, Task Force 68, Task Force 69 and Task Force 1060 alongside the Royal Navy and the U.S. Air Force.The USS Klakring, an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate — laid up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, since its decommissioning on March 22, 2013 — served as the target of the exercise.Named for Rear Adm. Thomas B. Klakring, who was awarded three Navy Crosses as the commander of the submarine USS Guardfish during World War II, the USS Klakring entered the sea service on Aug. 20, 1983, and supported Operation Earnest Will to protect Kuwaiti oil tankers from Iranian attacks during the Iran-Iraq War.The final blow to the USS Klakring on Sept. 25 came from the newly commissioned submarine USS Massachusetts, a nuclear-powered, Block IV Virginia-class fast-attack boat, which successfully struck and sank the decommissioned frigate with a Mk 48 Advanced Capability Torpedo. “Atlantic Thunder demonstrates the unmatched lethality and interoperability of the United States and United Kingdom,” Capt. Kelechi Ndukwe, commander of U.S. Task Force 65, said…
