Dr. Carlos Ortuno drives a Bolivian-made, Quantum electric car to a house call, in La Paz, Bolivia, Wednesday, May 3, 2023. Launched in 2019, Quantum Motors has only sold 350 electric cars in Bolivia. But their founders recently received a boost from the German city of Bonn, which invested 50,000 euros to acquire six units in support of a local program that sends doctors to people’s homes. (AP Photo/Juan Karita)LA PAZ, Bolivia — On a recent, cold morning, Dr. Carlos Ortuño hopped into a tiny electric car to go check on a patient in the outskirts of Bolivia’s capital of La Paz, unsure if the vehicle would be able to handle the steep, winding streets of the high-altitude city.“I thought that because of the city’s topography it was going to struggle, but it’s a great climber,” said Ortuño about his experience driving a Quantum, the first EV to have ever been made in Bolivia. “The difference from a gasoline-powered vehicle is huge.”Ortuño’s home visit aboard a car the size of a golf car...

Joey Gallo’s HR landed him in leadoff spot again, but not the Twins’ record book

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:48 GMT

Hitting leadoff seemed to agree with Joey Gallo on Saturday, so Rocco Badlelli penciled him atop the order for Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs at Target Field.“He was begging for it after the game yesterday,” Baldelli said.In his first career start batting leadoff, Gallo went 2 for 5 with a home run and four RBIs. That broke up a 3-for-32 skid over Gallo’s previous 12 games.“I think the initial shock of seeing his name there snapped him into a really good place,” Baldelli said.On Sunday against the Cubs, Gallo was 1 for 4 through with a two-run home run that gave the Twins an 8-0 lead in the third inning. He left the game with an apparent leg injury after grounding out to short to end the seventh inning.Gallo’s three-run home run off Cubs starter Hayden Wesneski in the third was celebrated for “breaking” StatCast because MLB’s stat-gathering system didn’t have an immediate read on it. With no official reading, social erupted into superlatives.But on Sunday, the homer...

I’ve been telling guys about it here, it was a rebound opportunity, that’s really what it is,” Patrick told The Post. “I was just in there talking to someone in the steam room and I was just telling him, ‘Bro, I remember my first couple of years in the (NFL) playing and then getting cut...
