The fifth-seeded Padres will go for the sweep Saturday night behind left-hander Blake Snell. The Mets had yet to officially announce a starter, but it is expected they will send their co-ace — two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom — to the mound in the must-win contest.

Lyon could have added a second goal in the first half but Toulouse goalkeeper Maxime Dupe denied Karl Toko Ekambi in the 12th, saved Lacazette´s chip in the 23rd, and pushed Corentin Tolisso´s header behind in the 41st.

«Our core activities and values remain unchanged. We want to create revolutionary role-playing games with memorable stories that inspire gamers,» the company’s chief executive Adam Kicinski said in a statement.

The All-Star third baseman shouted while sprinting around the bases as New York manager Buck Showalter trudged to the mound to relieve Scherzer, who received a loud chorus of boos on his way to the dugout.

I’m doing this because of a recent(ish) change of policy at Sony. They used to be very guarded about their ‘PlayStation exclusives’ — which is to say, games that could only be played on PlayStations and not any other console.

The investments will include 70 billion riyals to take several minority stakes in companies that support Savvy’s game development agenda and 50 billion riyals to acquire «a leading game publisher to become a strategic development partner».
