MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said hes eager to work with Bucks president Peter Feigin to improve the citys race relations after the NBA executive last week called the city the most segregated, racist place he has seen.However, Feigin said Tuesday in a statement that he didnt intend to characterize the city as overtly racist, that its a terrific community with wonderful people and he is proud to be a part of it. according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/2cJ81qU ).Barrett and Feigin, who is from New York City, had a good conversation on Monday, the mayor said.I hope we can change his feelings, but to do that, weve got a lot of work to do, Barrett said.Last week, the Wisconsin State Journal reported that Feigin called Milwaukee the most segregated, racist place Ive ever experienced in my life during a speech in Madison.It just is a place that is antiquated. It is in desperate need of repair and has happened for a long, long time. One of our messages and one of our goals is to lead by example, Feigin was quoted as saying.In his statement Tuesday, Feigin said the comment came as he was addressing a question about the social, economic and geographic divides that exist and how we can help address them.Barrett said that Feigin and the Bucks ownership team seem to be a willing partner to address the racial disparities in the city of 600,000 along Lake Michigan, which a 2012 Manhattan Institute analysis of census data found is the countrys most segregated metropolitan area, surpassing Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.Feigin has said the team is committed to helping Milwaukee. In May, the Bucks owners agreed to pay workers at the new $500 million downtown arena at least $12 per hour by next year, and at least $15 per hour by 2023. The agreement also includes provisions to protect workers ability to unionize and ensure that the team hires workers from Milwaukees poorest neighborhoods.The deal is expected to apply to about 1,000 employees, including full- and part-time workers at the arena and the teams practice facility and parking garage.Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker signed bipartisan legislation in August 2015 that committed taxpayers to paying half the cost of the arena over the next 20 years in exchange for the team remaining in Milwaukee. The new arena is expected to open in 2018.---Information from: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, http://www.jsonline.com Blue Air Jordan 2 Retro . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home.

An unearned run allowed in the eighth inning put the Seattle Mariners ahead 1-0 and seemingly ended the Astros hopes of a victory. They entered the game winless in 38 chances when trailing after eight innings and hadnt been able to score a single run in their last 17 innings against the Mariners. But the Astros provided a first for the 2013 season as they rallied for six runs off the Mariners bullpen to steal the victory away from Seattle and snap their six-game losing streak Wednesday night. "Its never too late when youre able to put together a six-run inning, especially after the woes weve had the last two games," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "It was definitely good to see the guys break out and put together some good at-bats in the ninth inning." Trailing 1-0, Jason Castro and J.D. Martinez led off with a pair of singles and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Carlos Corporan. After an intentional walk of Carlos Pena, Chris Carter doubled off the wall in left field to score a pair and give the Astros their first lead of the game. Another intentional walk loaded the bases again and brought the hook for Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen (0-2). It was Wilhelmsens fourth blown save in his last nine tries. Brandon Barnes drove in another run when his drive to left field glanced off the glove of Jason Bay and gave the Astros a 3-1 lead. Marwin Gonzalez drove in two more on a single to centre off Yoervis Medina and Charlie Furbush walked in another. "We score six in the ninth — we havent had the offence lately but it just shows we can do it in a big situation like that," Carter said. "Its good for the team." Paul Clemens (4-2) earned the victory for Houston. Lyles posted his best start of the season in holding the Mariners scoreless through seven innings. He allowed just three hits, two walks and struck out a career-high 10 to keep the game level into the eighth inning. "Jordan was outstanding again tonight," Porter said. "...Even the times in which he got into trouble, you can see the look in his eyes and the patience and the poise of Im going to make quality pitches to get out of this. I thought the big strikeouts with the bases loaded was huge." Lyles previous caareer-high for strikeouts had been eight coming into Wednesday nights game.dddddddddddd Lyles struck out nine Mariners through the first four innings alone and retired the final 11 batters he faced. "Curveball was pretty good tonight," Lyles said. "We kept going to it — kept burying it in the dirt and guys are swinging over it." The Mariners had missed out on an opportunity to take the lead in the fourth inning off Lyles. Nick Franklin hit a one-out double off the wall in right field. Mike Zunino singled sharply to centre field for the first hit of his major league career but Franklin was held up at third base. A walk loaded the bases but Brendan Ryan and Alex Liddi both struck out as Lyles worked out of the jam. Mariners starter Jeremy Bonderman also pitched well. Bonderman allowed just three hits in eight innings. He walked two and struck out five before Wilhelmsen gave up the lead in the ninth. Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Wilhelmsen was missing up in the strike zone and the Astros were able to take advantage. "The ninth inning is a different animal. You saw the next two guys struggled too," Wedge said. "Weve got to get Tom driving the ball downstairs — missing down. When he does miss well work on it." Endy Chavez singled for Seattle to lead off the eighth inning. Gonzalez picked up an error when he dropped the throw from Hector Ambriz on a bunt from Jason Bay that would have been in time to beat Chavez at second base. After a pop out from Kyle Seager and strikeout by Raul Ibanez, Seager lined a single to right to drive in Chavez and give the Mariners their only run. Notes: Mariners C Mike Zunino made his major league debut just over a year removed from being selected by Seattle in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft. Zunino is the third catcher for Seattle to make their major league debut in the last 20 days joining Jesus Sucre and Brandon Bantz. ... Lyles is the ninth pitcher to strike out 10-plus Mariners in a game this season. ... With two more errors Wednesday night, the Astros increased their league-leading total to 51 for the season. ... It was the first win this season for Houston when trailing after eight innings. The Astros were 0-38 when trailing after eight innings entering Wednesday night. ... Houstons six-run ninth inning matched their highest scoring inning of the year. The Astros had scored six runs in the sixth innings against the Colorado Rockies on May 30.
