Despite previously being a strong hitter, 00:03:57.330 --> 00:03:59.849 Devers has struggled since being moved to designated 00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:03.770 hitter after the signing of Alex Bregman. Team 00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:07.210 manager Alex Cora remains optimistic, emphasizing 00:04:07.210 --> 00:04:09.830 that Devers will eventually find his rhythm, 00:04:10.009 --> 00:04:17.870 stating, In local sports, The Capitals squeaked 00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:21.250 by the Bruins 4 -3 at the Garden last night. 00:04:22.230 --> 00:04:26.709 David Pasternak had two goals, but Alex Ovechkin's 00:04:26.709 --> 00:04:29.610 power play strike was pivotal for Washington. 00:04:30.709 --> 00:04:35.310 Vinny Ledieri also scored for Boston. The Bees 00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:39.949 now stand at 30 -36 -9 this season.

The chosen network will 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.779 play a crucial role in Apple's payment ecosystem, 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.920 which is becoming central to consumer financial 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.600 habits. With approximately $20 billion in balances, 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.519 the Apple credit card represents a significant 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.759 opportunity for whoever wins the bid.
