ARLINGTON, Texas — Bartolo Colon didn't make history Saturday for the Texas Rangers, but his teammate Shin-Soo Choo did. Choo became the top major league home run hitter born in Asia, connecting for a leadoff drive in the 10th inning that lifted the Rangers against the Kansas City Royals 4-3 Saturday.

In sports, people think about the first person," Choo said. "I remembered that." Choo hit a 3-1 pitch from Kevin McCarthy (3-2) the opposite way into the Royals bullpen for his eighth home run this year. It was his third career walk-off homer and first in five seasons with the Rangers. "With a 3-1 count, I'm just looking for one pitch in one area, and try to swing hard," Choo said.

Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, President Trump react to Harvey Weinstein charges
Sara M Moniuszko USA TODAY Published 4:15 p.m. UTC May 25, 2018 As Harvey Weinstein surrendered to New York authorities Friday to face criminal sex charges, some of his 80-plus accusers and other celebrities shared their thoughts on social media. Attorney Carrie Goldberg, who represents Lucia Evans, the woman whose 2004 allegation resulted in some of the charges against Weinstein, told the AP, “This is an emotional moment.
