Willie Calhoun hits 2nd homer of the night in 10th inning, walking off Angels' 6-5 win over Mariners
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Willie Calhoun hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning, sending the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Calhoun hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and he added a no-doubt shot to right field in the 10th on the second pitch by Austin Voth (2-3). The eight-year major league veteran slugger said it was the first walk-off hit of his baseball career, including the minors. “I’ve put in a lot of work, especially the last few months,” Calhoun said. “It’s pretty cool to see it translate to the game.” Calhoun, who had hit just one homer since May 12, connected for his third career multi-homer game as the Angels snapped the Mariners’ three-game winning streak and earned just their third victory in nine games.

Mayor Harrell's Plan to Convert Office Buildings into Apartments Is a Big Distraction
On Tuesday, the city council unanimously approved Bruce Harrell's big plan to encourage developers to convert empty office buildings into apartments. There are, of course, more rational ways to deal with Seattle's housing crisis, which has less to do with supply, and more to do with what the urban geographer David Harvey calls "accumulation by dispossession." But a consistently rational approach to housing would undermine the market's primary objective, which is to make life expensive. And the main objective of a pro-business City Hall is to turn its back on this fact and to form and push policies that move in the opposite direction of any reasonable solution that might result in actual affordability.
