WASHINGTON — The dust has settled from Saturday’s rain-delay debacle and the Mets have made the necessary roster moves for the continuation game against the Washington Nationals.Left-hander Joey Lucchesi was the pitcher who started the second game of a four-game series on Saturday night, but he won’t be around to see the finish of it. The Mets optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday morning and activated right-hander Dennis Santana, who will be the long man out of the bullpen with the team’s typical long reliever, right-hander Stephen Nogosek, starting the resumption of the Saturday game.The Mets also designated right-hander Seth Elledge for assignment.The Mets were not ready to announce their 27th man before the day’s action began, but it’s likely going to be left-hander Zach Muckenhirn, who is with the Mets in Washington and has a locker at Nationals Park. Left-hander Brooks Raley is able to be activated for the second game of a split double...

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s main opposition party took an early lead with half the votes counted from Sunday’s general election, touted as a pivotal chance for change nine years after incumbent Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha first came to power in a 2014 coup. The Pheu Thai Party was leading with 23% of the 400 seats contested in the direct race for the House of Representatives, and a 21% share of the seats allocated in a separate nationwide ballot for the 100 members elected by proportional representation.The returns so far were a good sign for democratization, said Saowanee T.

The people are very frustrated. They want change, and they could achieve it,” she said.
