Ryan surrendered five home runs and lasted just three innings in a 6-2 loss to the Braves at Truist Park.The second batter of the game, Ozzie Albies, tripled off Ryan. Two more home runs — one from Austin Riley, the other from Sean Murphy — followed as the Braves punished Ryan’s fastball.The very next inning, the Braves’ offense was at it again, and this time, it was a slider that Michael Harris II got ahold of and a splitter that Ronald Acuña Jr. took out of the park for his second of the night.Ryan allowed a pair of singles in the third inning, but worked out of the jam before departing.

Sickened sea lions showing aggression, biting people in Orange County

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:46 GMT

Sea lions have been attacking people at the beach in Orange County who get too close and marine wildlife experts believe the mammals may be acting aggressively after being sickened by poisonous algal blooms. At the entrance to Dana Strands Beach in Dana Point is a warning to visitors about an aggressive sea lion in the area, one of at least three beaches where people have been bitten in the last several days.  “We’ve actually seen a number of surfers in the water that have been bit by sea lions and those sea lions are more likely to be sea lions that have had a seizure and are completely unaware of their surroundings, just erratically swimming and then they bump into somebody and bit somebody,” Dr. Alissa Deming of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center told KTLA.  Deming also said the aggression in the sea lions is likely related to the dramatic increase in sick marine mammals needing rescue because of a toxic algal bloom in Southern Californian waters in recent weeks.
