1 week ago | fox8live.com | Luke Jones

HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) - A woman’s life was saved by a knife!She always carries it with her, but the woman who is identifying herself as Robyn never had to use it until Monday.

A lot of people are relying on her, and she says in that moment, it was either her or him. The choice was clear; she was willing to do whatever she needed to protect herself.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A Houston med spa owner is under arrest after police found fake fillers at her Westchase office. The doors at Lilac Touch Med Spa on South Gessner were locked on Thursday, a day after Aseel Al-Tameemi's arrest for violating the Texas Medical Practice Act. Court documents accuse her of practicing without a license and purchasing counterfeit medication, which a law enforcement source confirms included counterfeit Juvederm fillers.
Twelve Orioles Thoughts following series loss in Arizona

2 weeks ago | baltimorepositive.com | Luke Jones

With the Orioles losing two of three games in Arizona to drop to 5-8 on the 2025 season, I’ve offered a dozen thoughts, each in 50 words or less:1. The Orioles aren’t panicking and shouldn’t be after 13 games, but there’s no room for complacency after last year’s second half either. This club hasn’t looked particularly good across the board and hasn’t won back-to-back games, let alone a series. The vibes aren’t great, and some urgency is in order. 2.
Sizing up the 2025 Ravens roster counting down to this month’s draft

2 weeks ago | baltimorepositive.com | Luke Jones

With the 2025 draft looming and the Ravens saying goodbye to several notable free agents from their 12-5 team last year, work remains to build more depth on a roster that’s expected to remain in the championship mix. With 32 spots currently open on the 90-man offseason roster, general manager Eric DeCosta has 11 picks in the draft, meaning Baltimore projects to have another sizable class of undrafted rookies.

The Orioles lost another game and another pitcher in Arizona on Tuesday with the post-game announcement that top starter Zach Eflin is dealing with a low-grade lat strain. Manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that Eflin would be shut down for “about a week” in hopes that he’ll resume throwing at that point.

Zach Eflin celebrated his 31st birthday by undergoing an MR for right shoulder fatigue, but the Orioles pitcher was apparently feeling much better the morning after exiting Monday’s start. Speaking to reporters before Tuesday night’s game in Arizona, manager Brandon Hyde said the organization was still awaiting results, but Eflin’s own update on his shoulder was “really encouraging.” “He felt really good waking up this morning. He didn’t feel the soreness as bad,” Hyde said.
Orioles move Suarez to 60-day IL, acquire minor-league reliever from Milwaukee

2 weeks ago | baltimorepositive.com | Luke Jones

Though the Orioles traded for a minor-league reliever on Monday, the move made to create a spot on the 40-man roster only raised concerns about the current state of their pitching. Baltimore acquired left-hander Grant Wolfram from Milwaukee in exchange for minor-league outfielder Daz Cameron and cash considerations, but right-hander Albert Suarez was transferred to the 60-day injured list to create roster space.
Perceived 2024 hangover not helping vibes of Orioles’ slow start

2 weeks ago | baltimorepositive.com | Luke Jones

A 4-6 start by itself doesn’t warrant too much concern about the Orioles. Even the best teams will go through at least a few stretches like this over 162 games and look pretty bad in the process. The 2023 club that won 101 games started 5-5 while the last Orioles team with more wins than that — Earl Weaver’s 1979 club — started 3-8. In other words, if you’re feeling dramatically different about the 2025 club than you did only a couple weeks ago, a deep breath is probably warranted.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A Rosharon woman hit and killed by a car on the Gulf Freeway last week was trying to help the victim of another fatal crash, police say.

An unknown vehicle had struck the Ford, killing Mirtha Rodriguez Orgales Sai. Ross' family said she urged her friend to pull over and got out to check on the crash victim.

Beginning a six-game road trip in Kansas City on Friday night, the Orioles have officially welcomed back Gunnar Henderson. As expected, the All-Star shortstop was activated from the 10-day injured list after missing the first seven games of the 2025 season with an intercostal strain suffered in late February.
