HOUSTON — The Oakland Athletics have a simple goal as they near the end of a

seasons as we can,” Oakland outfielder Tony Kemp said. “Because we’re not going
to be playing in October.”Shea Langeliers and Kemp both homered as the Athletics
jumped on Justin Verlander early in a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday

MATT OLSON TIES BRAVES’ SINGLE-SEASON HOME RUN MARK WITH 51

Published Fri, 09 Feb 2024 21:03:32 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andruw Jones had a hunch when the Braves traded for Matt
Olson in 2022 — then immediately signed him to a $168 million, eight-year
contract — that his season home run record wouldn’t last long.“I thought Matt
would be the guy to break the record,” Jones said last weekend in Atlanta when
his number was retired. “He’s just got that swing. I’m pulling for him and
hopefully he can break it.”One more long ball this year and Olson will be all
alone in Atlanta’s record book. Olson can set the franchise mark of 52 on
Wednesday should he go deep when the Braves play the Philadelphia Phillies and
try to clinch their sixth straight NL East title with a victory. Atlanta is
already guaranteed a playoff spot.For at least one night, he’s even with Jones
at 51. Olson hit a solo shot in Atlanta’s 7-6 win over the Phillies in 10
innings on Tuesday, tying the team record Jones set in 2005.“way to go

AUSTRALIA’S HIGHEST COURT FINDS QANTAS ILLEGALLY FIRED 1,700 GROUND STAFF

Published Fri, 09 Feb 2024 21:03:32 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Qantas Airways lost its challenge to a court ruling
on Wednesday that the Australian flag carrier had illegally fired 1,700 baggage
handlers, cleaners and other ground staff at the height of pandemic travel
disruptions.Seven High Court judges unanimously rejected Qantas’ appeal against
a Federal Court full-bench decision. That court upheld a Federal Court judge’s
ruling that the sacking of Qantas staff at 10 Australian airports in 2020 was
illegal.The ruling is another major blow for the airline which Australia’s
consumer watchdog is suing for more than 250 million Australian dollars ($160
million) for allegedly selling thousands of tickets mid-2022 for flights that
already been canceled.Australian Competition and Consumer Commission initiated
the Federal Court lawsuit two weeks ago for what it considers Australia’s most
serious-ever breach of consumer law.That prompted Qantas former chief executive
Alan Joyce to retire last week two months ahead of schedu...
