The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Many believe the cryptid Ozark Howler is simply a folk monster like Momo. The Ozark Howler has been brought forward in oral traditions as a creature of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.

Charlie Morton tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings and Marcel Ozuna's three-run double highlighted a five-run third inning to lead the host Atlanta Braves over the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 in the opener of a three-game series on Friday night. Morton (5-4), who allowed only three hits, didn't give up a hit until Ke'Bryan Hayes bounced a single into center with one out in the fifth. The right-hander walked one and struck out seven. The win over the Pirates was the first of his career and completed the circuit of having beaten all 30 major league teams, joining Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Gerrit Cole as the only active pitchers to accomplish that feat. Austin Riley homered, Ozzie Albies doubled among his two hits and Matt Olson contributed two hits and an RBI for the Braves, who improved to 18-5 against the Pirates all-time at Truist Park, which opened in 2017. Martin Perez (1-4) suffered the loss. The left-hander, activated earlier Friday off the 15-day injured list after missing a month with a groin injury, gave up six runs on eight hits over four innings. He walked two and struck out four. Hayes finished with a double and two hits, and Bryan Reynolds had a ground single to center in the eighth inning to extend his hitting streak to 24 games, the longest in the majors this season and the longest by a Pirate since Kenny Lofton had a 26-gamer in 2003. Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Riley led off with his ninth home run of the season, a 423-foot drive to center. The Braves sent nine batters to the plate in breaking the game open with a five-run third. Ozuna made it 4-0 when he cleared the bases with a three-run double to left. Olson then drove in Ozuna with a single. Riley followed with a fielder's choice and scored one out later on Adam Duvall's double. Hayes broke up the shutout with two outs in the ninth when he lined a double into the gap in right-center to drive in Connor Joe, who led off the inning with a pinch-hit double. --Field Level Media.

TORONTO — As the Yankees held their breath again on Juan Soto, they put together another uninspiring performance without him Saturday afternoon.

A night after scoring a season-high 16 runs, with Soto playing a starring role, the Yankees fell back to earth with a 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre while their right fielder underwent X-rays that were negative on his bruised right hand.

Soto, a late scratch from the lineup, returned to the dugout around midgame, but only could watch as the Yankees (53-32) were held in check by Chris Bassitt — even after being drilled on the...
