Brooklyn-born Richie Palacios puts Yankees in big hole with huge hit for Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — As a kid, Richie Palacios was one of the biggest Yankees fans in Brooklyn. On Monday night, he sent New York home in a huge playoff hole.

Deion Sanders is still capturing his share of hearts at the Colorado program he put back on the map when the coach arrived before the 2023 season. But wins aren’t following. Examining the before and after of CU’s most recent loss — a 29-7 home setback against Texas Tech on Saturday that dropped Sanders to 18-24 at CU — shows there aren’t any clear-cut answers for the Buffs, who are 2-3.
