MEXICO CITY — Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez scored goals in a nine-minute span in the first half and Mexico defeated Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday night to break a 40-year drought without a win in the knockout stage and progressed to the World Cup round of 16.

Mexico subsequently lost seven consecutive times at that same stage from…

Insurgent socialist candidate Melat Kiros defeated longtime Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) Tuesday in Colorado’s 1st District House primary, marking the latest blow to the establishment wing of the Democratic Party.  Kiros came out on top of the incumbent, 49.3% to 43.5%, by the time the Associated Press called the race late Tuesday. Kiros’s win in the solidly blue district follows a string of victories by socialist and far-left candidates over incumbent and establishment-backed Democrats in New York in June, and it’s expected to tilt the political makeup of the House Democratic caucus even further to the left after the midterm…

A lot of folks understandably are guessing the Mets as Tigers superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal’s ultimate free agent destination this winter, and there are two very good reasons for that. 1) The Mets are easily baseball’s richest team (at least by owner net worth). 2) Nobody should be as desperate as they are following back-to-back big-market disasters*. (*This disaster isn’t quite complete, but we have a pretty good idea where they’re headed.) The more immediate question, though, is where Skubal, who shut down the listless Yankees on one hit over six dominant innings Tuesday night at the Stadium, will be…
