Brent Rooker and Max Muncy homer to help the Athletics beat the Mariners, 7-0

SEATTLE (AP) — Brent Rooker hit a two-run home run and Jeffrey Springs pitched six scoreless innings to help the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 7-0 on Friday night.

Springs (1-0), acquired from Tampa Bay in December, made his debut for the A's and allowed three hits and a walk with nine strikeouts.

JJ Bleday and Shea Langeliers hit back-to-back two-out RBI singles in the seventh inning, and Tyler Soderstrom's ground-rule double scored Bleday to make it 5-0.

Randy Arozarena and Mitch Garver drew consecutive walks to lead off the bottom of the seventh but, after a groundout by Jorge Polanco, Donovan Solano and pinch-hitter Luke Raley struck out to end Seattle's threat.

Max Muncy, a 22-year-old in his second game in the majors, had his first career hit in the eighth, a towering solo shot to left-center.

Luis Castillo (0-1) gave up two runs on three hits with two walks and four strikeouts over five innings for the Mariners.

With one out and runners on first and second, Dylan Moore hit a blooper to straight-away center but Mitch Garver, trying to score from second, was thrown out at home by Bleday.

The Mariners were 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position, finishing with just five hits and 13 strikeouts.

Athletics right-hander Osvaldo Bido faces Bryce Miller on Saturday in the third game of four-game series.

BEIRUT (AP) — The Israeli military struck a building in Beirut's southern suburbs early Tuesday, killing at least three people, as the military said it had targeted a member of the Hezbollah militant group.

The airstrike came without warning days after Israel launched an attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Friday for the first time since a ceasefire ended fighting between Israeli forces and the Hezbollah militant group in November. The Israeli military then had warned residents in the crowded suburbs before the attack after two projectiles were launched from southern Lebanon, which Hezbollah denied firing.

At least seven other people were wounded in Tuesday's airstrike, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The Israeli military said in a statement the latest strike targeted a Hezbollah member who had been helping the Palestinian Hamas group in the Gaza Strip in attacks against Israel. It said the airstrike was “under the direction of the Shin Bet,” Israel’s domestic intelligence agency.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the airstrike.

“We must prevent any violation of sovereignty from abroad, or from infiltrators within who provide an additional pretext for aggression,” Aoun wrotie in a statement posted on X. The former military chief vowed after his election in January that all weapons would be at the hands of the Lebanese state, indirectly referring to Hezbollah's arms.

Hezbollah did not comment on the strike.

Photos and videos widely shared on local and social media showed the top three floors of an apartment building damaged following the strike. Piles of debris on cars below the building can be seen.

Jets were heard in parts of the Lebanese capital before the strike near the Hay Madi neighborhood. During Israel's last war with Hezbollah, Israeli drones and jets regularly pounded the southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has wide influence and support. Israel sees the area as a militant stronghold and accuses the group of storing weapons there.

“We were at home. It was Eid al-Fitr,” said Hussein Nour El-Din, a resident in the neighborhood, referring to the Islamic holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. “We didn’t know where it happened, but once the smoke cleared we saw it was the building facing us.”

The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, Sheikh Naim Kassem, warned Saturday that if Israel’s attacks on Lebanon continued and if Lebanon's government does not act to stop them, the group would eventually resort to other alternatives.

Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war, Israeli forces were supposed to withdraw from all Lebanese territory by late January, while Hezbollah had to end its armed presence south of the Litani River along the border with Israel.

Israel has launched daily strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect, saying it targets Hezbollah officials and infrastructure. The Lebanese military has gradually deployed in the country’s southern region, and Beirut has urged the international community to pressure Israel to stop attacks and withdraw its forces still present on five hilltops in Lebanese territory.
