In the traditional B2B landscape, the "salesperson" was the gatekeeper of information. If a business owner needed a new software solution or a manufacturing partner, they picked up the phone, attended a trade show, or waited for a cold call. Fast forward to today, and the script has flipped. The gatekeeper isn’t a person in a suit—it’s a search bar. Modern B2B buyers start...

In the high-stakes world of diagnostic imaging, few technologies carry as much weight or provide as much clarity as Positron Emission Tomography (PET). While an X-ray might show you a broken bone and an MRI gives you a detailed map of your anatomy, a PET scan tells you a much more intimate story: it shows how your body is actually functioning at a cellular level.

Daikin Field (Houston) Three years after upsetting Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, Team Mexicos fans were ready to party again Monday night. Among a sellout crowd of 41,628 fans at Daikin Park, in a sea of green, white and red, Mexico flags were unfurled and the sound of noisemakers filled the air. And then, at least for one inning, they stopped. A five-run bottom of the third, courtesy of home runs from Aaron Judge and Roman Anthony, briefly quieted a rowdy pro-Mexico crowd as the U.S. team got its revenge, holding on to win its third straight game to start the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Here are four takeaways from USAs 5-3 win over Mexico. 1. USA's former Air Force cadets do their country proud Paul Skenes is remembered mostly in college as the ace who helped lead LSU to a national championship. But for the two years before that, he was a two-way standout at Air Force, where he won the John Olerud Award for the best two-way player in college baseball in 2022. On Monday, players from the Air Force baseball team were in attendance to watch the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner and Air Force product dominate for their country. Skenes took the mound to the Top Gun anthem, then proceeded to allow just one hit and one walk while striking out seven Mexico batters in four scoreless innings. "This is a source of pride for us on the field, but weve got a country behind us," Skenes said on the FOX broadcast. "Thats heavy. So, its not something that any of us take lightly, and its just a huge blessing to be able to do it." The rules dictate that no pitcher can throw more than 65 pitches in a game in the first round, which is the only reason Skenes didnt keep going. Skenes and reliever Griffin Jax both attended the Air Force Academy in college, and Jax was the first Air Force Academy graduate in MLB history. Jax entered with the tying run at the plate in the eighth and got an inning-ending double play from Alejandro Kirk to keep the U.S. ahead by two for good. "Every guy in that room is proud to represent the United States of America," DeRosa said. "But the conversations with them were a little bit different, as far as wanting to represent every serviceman and woman who protects our freedom on a nightly basis. They're thinking a little bit different." 2. The Captain gets USA going with both his arm and his bat All the momentum was with Mexico early on after Cal Raleigh struck out with the bases loaded to end the first inning and Roman Anthony was tagged out at the plate on a perfect relay to end the second. Mexicos supporters were going berserk after each occasion. In the third, though, USAs captain swung the momentum the other direction with both his arm and his bat. A year after a flexor strain limited his ability to throw and play the field, Aaron Judges arm looked just fine Monday night when he delivered a dart from right field to third base in time to get Joey Ortiz. Then, in the bottom of the frame, the three-time MVP started the scoring by taking Jesus Cruz deep the other way for a two-run homer. Typically reserved on the field, Judge turned toward the U.S. dugout halfway down the line and yelled their direction. Clearly, Judge is all in on this tournament, which hes participating in for the first time. Also playing in the tournament for the first time is 21-year-old Roman Anthony, who followed four batters after Judges homer with a three-run shot of his own. Anthony, a late addition to the roster replacing the injured Corbin Carroll, became the youngest player ever to homer for Team USA in the WBC and gave his team a comfortable 5-0 advantage. That 417-foot blast, which dinged off the banner in front of the second deck, was crucial as the U.S. bats went quiet for the next five innings. 3. Jarren Duran doesnt let Mexico go down quietly In the second inning, Durans arm helped keep the game scoreless when he started a perfect relay to get Anthony at the plate on a double into the right-field corner by Brice Turang. The rest of the night, it was the leftys bat that terrorized Team USA. Last year, Cubs All-Star Matthew Boyd allowed just two home runs all season to left-handed hitters. In addition, only three of Durans 16 home runs came against southpaws. The history didnt matter on Monday night, as Duran took Boyd deep in the sixth inning to put Mexico on the board and then again in the eighth to get Mexico within two runs. After Skenes overpowering start, Durans performance was a reminder of the firepower in a Mexico lineup that outscored its first two pool-play opponents 24-2. Duran has been one of the best hitters in the tournament, going 5-for-10 with three home runs. 4. USA holds on for 2023 payback Mexico had Team USAs number entering the tournament, not only shellacking the U.S. in an 11-5 victory in pool play three years ago but also winning each of the last three matchups between the teams in WBC play dating back to 2006. "I remember 2023 vividly," USA manager Mark DeRosa said before Mondays tilt. "I remember Joey Meneses' two homers, Randy Arozarena, all of it." With Paul Skenes arm, Bobby Witt Jrs glove the Royals shortstop made two miraculous defensive plays diving to his right and firing across the diamond and the bats of Judge and Anthony, the U.S. answered back in 2026and then held on for dear life. The third inning was the only frame in which the high-powered U.S. offense plated a run. After Skenes departure, Mexico mounted a late rally but came up just short as Garrett Whitlock shut the door in the ninth. 4 . Whats next? With a win against Italy on Tuesday, USA can go undefeated and win the pool. Mexico will face Italy on Wednesday for its final game of the pool and will need a win for the chance to advance.

Ten players with Jamaican side Mount Pleasant have failed to obtain US entry visas for the club's CONCACAF Champions Cup clash against Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday.

Tua Tagovailoa is among the best fits while Wan'Dale Robinson might not be worth the massive contract
