The pageantry and patriotism accompanying the buildup to the Minnesota Twins' home opener forced a pause for James Paxton in his warmup routine, leaving the Seattle starting pitcher standing alone in left field while a giant flag was unfurled nearby. The bald eagle brought in for a ceremonial flight over the field was the final piece of the pregame pomp, prior to the playing of the national anthem. Well, the big bird didn't want to visit the mound, perhaps wary of Major League Baseball's new rule limiting such trips to keep the pace of play. Instead, it picked out another target at Target Field. And Paxton wound up as the landing spot, sticking its talons into his back. "I guess the eagle knew I was Canadian. I don't know.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is proposing road tolls for downtown streets as part of a broader initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Durkan provided few specifics on the tolling proposal but said at news conference Wednesday that the city's transportation department is studying possible congestion pricing strategies to ease traffic through the downtown core.A tolling proposal would likely have to go to the city council and to voters as an initiative.Similar toll systems are in place in big cities such as London, Stockholm and Singapore.
