• 5:20
  distance between themselves and the rest of the
• 5:23
  division. The Rays bring that tough pitching
• 5:26
  and scrappy approach, so Bennett will need to
• 5:29
  be sharp early. On the health front, the Sox
• 5:33
  are getting healthier at exactly the right time.

• 5:45
  -surgery. He's already doing light fielding drills

  him back in the lineup would be a major boost
• 5:54
  heading into the trade deadline. Garrett Crochet
• 5:58
  continues working his way back, and Connolly

  add down the stretch. Clay Holmes of the Mets
• 6:12

  In our community spotlight on health and wellness,
• 8:53
  we are working with a national Pilates studio
• 8:56
  to bring you some free classes, so listen up.
• 9:00
  Check out Club Pilates with several locations
• 9:03
  in the Boston area. Pilates presents a comprehensive
• 9:06
  wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing
• 9:10
  tension, and elevating mental well -being. Scientific
• 9:14
  research affirms its benefits. So now you can
• 9:18
  check out Club Pilates for a free class. With
• 9:21
  locations in Canton, Wellesley, Hingham, Brookline,

  and Framingham, just be sure to tell them...
• 9:28
  sunny mornings sent you by. And now, back to
• 9:33
  the show. Let's talk science. Scientists have
• 9:38
  ranked hundreds of spider species by running
• 9:40
  speed, with Australia's huge, hairy brown huntsman
• 9:44
  coming out on top. This spider can sprint at
• 9:47
  a maximum speed of 8 miles per hour, although
• 9:50
  it can only maintain that pace for a fraction
• 9:52
  of a second. The research provides insights into
• 9:56
  the evolution and biomechanics of arachnids.
• 10:00
  Interestingly, the brown huntsman is not a major
• 10:03
  threat to humans. Acid's venom is not lethal
• 10:06
  and typically causes only minor swelling and
• 10:09
  pain. Overall, the findings suggest that spider
• 10:12
  speed is shaped by leg architecture and evolutionary
• 10:16
  history, rather than size alone. And in entertainment
• 10:22
  news… Lamorne Morris, Abby Elliot, and others
• 10:27
  are joining Heidi Gardner in the dramedy feature
• 10:29
  of The Swimming Lesson. The film, starring Gardner

• 10:50
  portray charming swim instructor Caleb. While
• 10:53
  Elliot will play Vicki, Tay's ex -wife's new
• 10:56
  partner. Twenter's directorial day view highlights
• 11:00
  a talented cast that includes newcomers and experienced
• 11:03
  actors alike. Well, all righty, folks. It's time
• 11:08
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 11:12
  comes from the American astronaut and physicist
• 11:14
  Sally Ride. And she said, the stars don't look
• 11:19
  bigger. but they do look brighter when you are
• 11:22
  closer to them, reminding us that ambition and
• 11:25
  teamwork can illuminate our path to greatness.
