Blue Jays clinch MLB playoff berth, set sights on AL East crown

The Toronto Blue Jays became the first American League team to clinch a spot in the 2025 MLB playoffs following an 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, Sept. 21.

First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and shortstop Andres Gimenez drove in two runs apiece as the Blue Jays (90-66) snapped a four-game losing skid. Toronto had played its last seven games on the road.

The Blue Jays have made the playoffs just three times since 2017 and were swept in the wild card round each time. The franchise reached the ALCS in 2015 and 2016.

Players and coaches celebrated their postseason berth in the visiting locker room at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, before taking to the field for a group photo.

Toronto will finish out the regular season at home with three games against the Boston Red Sox and three games against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Blue Jays still have their sights set on securing the American League East crown for the first time since 2015. Toronto has a 2-game lead over the New York Yankees. The Blue Jays also have the tiebreaker, winning 8 of 13 games in the season series.

Tech Weekly: Semiconductor Stocks Rally on Fed Rate Cut and Strategic Deal

The US Federal Reserve lowered its key interest rate for the first time in 2025 this week, while the Bank of Canada resumed cutting after pausing in March, providing a boost to growth-oriented sectors.

Tech stocks, particularly semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) companies, responded positively, reflecting investor optimism about a more supportive monetary environment for tech sector growth.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that the cut was a risk-management move motivated by concerns over the labor market’s softness and persistent inflation risks, rather than a sign of strong economic confidence. He highlighted that downside risks to employment have increased, and that inflation remains above the Fed’s 2 percent goal.

Likewise, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned that broad-based tariffs and trade tensions pose structural risks to the Canadian economy. He emphasized that, unlike the pandemic bounceback, Canada will not see a quick economic rebound if tariffs persist, as they could permanently lower output and weaken growth across key sectors.

Against that backdrop, the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) put on a strong performance this week, closing at 24,626.25 on Friday (September 19), up 0.7 percent. The index saw momentum build toward the end of the week, supported by growth in technology and semiconductor stocks.

NVIDIA to take US$5 billion stake in Intel

While the Fed’s decision was a key factor for the tech sector this week, a landmark deal stole the spotlight.

A strategic partnership between NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) dominated the news cycle on Thursday (September 18), sending shockwaves through the semiconductor industry.

In a historic move, NVIDIA announced a US$5 billion investment in Intel as part of a new partnership. The companies will collaborate on custom data center and PC products, aiming to jointly develop custom CPUs and GPUs by integrating NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing technologies with Intel’s x86 platforms for data centers and personal computing.

The deal marks a major realignment in the chip industry focused on AI infrastructure innovation. Shares of both companies finished the week higher, with Intel notching a notable 21 percent increase.

Semiconductor exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also surged in response to the NVIDIA-Intel partnership announcement, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) gaining 4.17 percent, the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXQ) rising 3.93 percent and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) increasing 3.92 percent over the course of the week, reflecting strengthened investor confidence across the sector.

The Intel-NVIDIA collaboration comes after reports this week that China’s regulatory authority has instructed major tech firms like Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and ByteDance to stop buying and cancel orders of NVIDIA’s AI chip designed for China. The news sent NVIDIA shares down early in the week, but the company ended the period flat.

The collaboration also helped provide a much-needed boost to Intel’s share price. The company has struggled with operational challenges and a difficult turnaround effort in the highly competitive semiconductor market.

In a direct reaction to the Intel-NVIDIA deal, shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM) declined on Thursday.

The latter company recovered some of its losses on Friday.

US and UK sign tech prosperity deal

In other tech news, the US and UK signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday, pledging to boost collaboration in science and tech. Called the Technology Prosperity Deal, the arrangement focuses on civil nuclear power, aiming for independence from Russian fuel by late 2028 and developing new tech like small modular reactors.

The agreement also establishes joint task forces for AI standards and security, as well as quantum computing breakthroughs, and explores civil maritime nuclear applications.

Tech news to watch next week

Next week, investors will have an eye on Micron Technology’s (NASDAQ:MU) fiscal Q4 results, scheduled to be released on September 23 after market close. Analysts are estimating revenue of around US$11.15 billion.

Accenture (NYSE:ACN), a professional services company, will also release its fiscal Q4 results next week on September 25, with revenue expected in the US$17 billion range.

Charbone Hydrogen

Investor Insight

Charbone Hydrogen offers a compelling investment opportunity in the US$89 billion Ultra High Purity (UHP) and low-carbon intensity hydrogen market, leveraging a decentralized approach for scalable plant deployment and focusing on environmentally friendly production to reduce carbon footprints.

Overview

Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47) is an integrated company specialized in Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen and the strategic distribution of industrial gases in North America and the Asia-Pacific region. It is developing a modular network of green hydrogen production while partnering with industry players to supply helium and other specialty gases without the need to build costly new plants. This disciplined strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces risks, and increases flexibility.

Charbone has recently accelerated its growth trajectory, securing a US$50 million financing to expand across North America, executing a US$1 million collaboration agreement to advance a green hydrogen project in Malaysia, and achieving multiple milestones at its flagship Sorel-Tracy facility in Québec.

With its exclusive focus on UHP green hydrogen, Charbone is positioning itself as a first mover in a multi-billion-dollar market. Leveraging Canada’s abundant hydroelectric power and expanding nuclear capacity, Charbone plans to deliver sustainable hydrogen solutions that meet rising demand from both governments and global industries.

Company Highlights

  • Canada’s only publicly listed green hydrogen company: Charbone Hydrogen offers investors unique exposure to the fast-growing hydrogen economy as a company focused on green hydrogen production and distribution.
  • Building a North American green hydrogen pipeline: The company is advancing multiple projects, anchored by its flagship Sorel-Tracy facility in Québec, to establish a scalable production and distribution network.
  • Well-financed for growth and expansion: Charbone secured a US$50 million financing, facilitated by US Capital Global, to accelerate funding of modular build-out and expand its footprint across North America.
  • Expanding into international markets: Through a US$1 million master collaboration agreement, Charbone is supporting the deployment of a green hydrogen project in Malaysia, highlighting its global reach.
  • Aligned with strong policy and market tailwinds: For years, Canada leaned on centralized, fossil-based reformers. That playbook is obsolete. Now, Quebec’s hydropower surplus runs electrolyzers that split H₂O into H₂ and O₂ with zero carbon footprint. Charbone’s plug-and-play approach repurposes proven gear, slashing lead times and trimming capex. Charbone is well-placed for long-term growth.
  • Exclusive focus on ultra-pure green hydrogen production: Charbone is dedicated to producing hydrogen using renewable hydroelectric and nuclear energy — a critical pathway to decarbonization and huge demand of ultra-high purity hydrogen in electronics and military sectors.

Project Pipeline and Key Partnerships

Charbone forged strong partnerships to execute its business model. Here’s where it gets cool: renewable hydroelectricity powers electrolyzers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Purification skids then crank it up to 99.999% purity—true industrial grade. This hydrogen production model serves everything from fuel-cell fleets and semiconductor fabs to specialty metal processing and next-gen refueling stations.

Charbone isn’t flying solo. They’ve teamed up with:

  • A leading Canadian energy distributor supplying the battle-tested equipment
  • Hydro-Québec delivering clean, reliable electrons
  • An ABB partnership to boost North American production networks
  • Offtake and supply agreements with U.S. Tier-One industrial gases producer
  • Public listings on TSX Venture, OTCQB, and Frankfurt for global financing access

This lineup de-risks the rollout and turbocharges their momentum.

Charbone has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ABB to collaborate on the development of up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities across North America over the next five years. Under the MOU, ABB will support CHARBONE in standardizing basic engineering for systems and components across its project portfolio to increase energy efficiency and reliability.

Among the sites covered by the collaboration is Charbone’s flagship Sorel-Tracy facility near Montreal in Québec, Canada, which is currently under construction. The Sorel-Tracy facility is located on a 40,000-square-meter land parcel along Quebec Highway 30, known as the “Steel Highway” because of the numerous steel mills and process plants operating along the highway.

The construction of its Sorel-Tracy facility is being done in partnership with EBC, one of the largest construction companies in Quebec. EBC has a proven track record of designing and building facilities in Canada and the US. The partnership agreement gives EBC the right of first refusal to construct additional Sorel-Tracy phases, as well as one or all of Charbone’s facilities within the North American market.

In addition, Charbone has entered into several other strategic partnerships, all aimed at expanding its footprint in North America. The company entered into a special consultancy agreement with Enki GéoSolutions for potential partnership proposals as a co-operator and distributor of an emerging form of clean and renewable hydrogen, known as white or natural hydrogen.

In June 2024, Carbone executed a supply agreement for a complete containerized electrolyzer system ready for shipment to its flagship green hydrogen site in the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The electrolyzer has a higher capacity than originally planned and will significantly enhance initial operational capacity estimates. The company also acquired its first tube trailer for the transport and bulk delivery of compressed green hydrogen produced from the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec flagship project to local and domestic customers.

Charbone signed commercial supply agreements (CSAs) with a top-tier US industrial gas producer and distributor. The first CSA secures hydrogen supply ahead of Charbone’s own production, while the second expands its product offerings to include helium and other industrial gases. Positioned to capitalize on emerging North American opportunities, particularly in Canada, Charbone leverages its early-mover advantage to build strategic partnerships and strengthen its role in the low-carbon, high-purity hydrogen market.

Superior Plus

This partnership allows Charbone to sell hydrogen produced at the Sorel-Tracy facility to Certarus, a subsidiary of Superior Plus. Such supply agreements ensure that Charbone can generate cash flow immediately following the commencement of production.

Charbone Hydrogen entered into an off-take partnership with Certarus on the supply and

distribution of green hydrogen.

NEK Community Broadband

Another such supply agreement was signed in November 2023 with NEK Community Broadband, which ensures the supply of green hydrogen in the Northeast Kingdom of the state of Vermont (USA). NEK Broadband is building a high-speed broadband infrastructure and plans to install a hydrogen fuel cell backup system for a reliable power supply.

Oakland County Economic Development Department, Michigan

Further advancing its goal of US expansion, Charbone signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2023 with Michigan’s Oakland County Economic Development Department to set up Charbone’s first green hydrogen facility in the United States. Oakland County is home to major automakers, and a green hydrogen facility in their proximity will support the effort of producing environmentally friendly mobility options.

Being the only publicly listed green hydrogen player in Canada, Charbone offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.

Michigan vs Nebraska score: Bryce Underwood, Wolverines beat Huskers

In a matchup of two of the most storied and historically decorated programs in the history of college football — both with large, rabid fan bases and iconic helmets — Michigan came out on top.

Behind a relentless rushing attack and an aggressive pass rush, No. 20 Michigan defeated Nebraska 30-27 on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

Watch Michigan vs. Nebraska football live with Fubo (free trial)

Wolverines running back Justice Haynes had his way against the Cornhuskers, rumbling for 149 yards on 17 carries, an output highlighted by a 75-yard touchdown run. It was one of two long touchdown scampers for Michigan, with Jordan Marshall’s 54-yard touchdown in the third quarter pushing his team’s lead to 27-17.

The Wolverines’ defensive line feasted on Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, sacking the sophomore standout seven times. When he had time in the pocket, Raiola performed well, completing 30 of 41 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

Michigan freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood completed 12 of 22 passes for 105 yards while adding 61 rushing yards, many of which came on a 37-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

It was the first loss of the season for Nebraska, which has lost its past five Big Ten openers. The game was the Wolverines’ final contest under interim head coach Biff Poggi, with head coach Sherrone Moore set to return from his two-game suspension after Saturday’s victory.

USA TODAY Sports brought you live updates, scores and highlights from the game. Follow along.

Michigan vs Nebraska updates

Michigan vs Nebraska highlights

Final: Michigan 30, Nebraska 27

Michigan recovers the onside kick after the Dylan Raiola touchdown pass and drains the remaining clock to defeat Nebraska 30-27.

Dylan Raiola TD pass gets Nebraska within one score of Michigan

Nebraska’s slim hopes of a win against Michigan remain alive. Dylan Raiola ends a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Heinrich Haarberg to cut the Wolverines’ lead to 30-27 with 1:34 remaining.

Brandyn Hillman targeting call overturned

As Nebraska drives up the field trying to cut into its deficit, Michigan defensive back Brandyn Hillman is whistled for targeting on a hit on Jacory Barney Jr. on a 21-yard catch that gets the Huskers to the Michigan 3-yard line. Upon video review, though, the penalty is overturned.

Dominic Zvada extends Michigan lead to two scores

It didn’t end with a touchdown, but Michigan plays its latest drive about as well as it could have. The Wolverines go 77 yards in 16 plays while draining 8:46 off the clock, a march that ends with a 21-yard Dominic Zvada field goal to give Michigan a 30-20 lead with 3:54 remaining. Biff Poggi’s team got some big plays along the way, including a 19-yard Justice Haynes run.

It’ll take an unusual series of events for Nebraska to pull off a win.

Dylan Raiola sacked again, leads to Nebraska punt

Dylan Raiola is sacked for the seventh time today by Michigan, this time on a third-and-12 from the Nebraska 27-yard line.

The Huskers punt with 12:53 remaining and the Wolverines will take over at their own 20.

Michigan punts

Nebraska will get the ball back with a chance to tie the game after forcing a Michigan punt. The Huskers’ drive will start at their own 29-yard line with 14:05 remaining.

Nebraska FG gets Huskers within one score of Michigan

A 12-play, 55-yard Nebraska drive ends with a 38-yard Kyle Cunanan field goal to get the Huskers within seven, 27-20, with 14:56 remaining.

Nebraska very nearly got closer, as it appeared Dylan Raiola found Nyziah Hunter for a 20-yard touchdown on a third-and-14, but officials rule that Hunter stepped out of the back of the end zone before coming back on the field to catch the pass.

End of third quarter: Michigan 27, Nebraska 17

Nebraska will open the fourth quarter with a 38-yard field goal attempt that could get it back within a single score of Michigan.

Jordan Marshall TD run extends Michigan’s lead vs Nebraska

For the second time today, a Wolverines running back takes a handoff to the house for a long touchdown. This time, the heroics come courtesy of Jordan Marshall, who blasts through a huge gap his offensive line created and outruns the Nebraska secondary for a 54-yard touchdown scamper.

Michigan now leads 27-17 with 5:40 remaining in the third quarter.

Nebraska punts again

Nebraska goes three-and-out, with an Archie Wilson punt giving Michigan the ball back at its 38-yard line with 6:21 left in the third quarter. The Huskers have negative-one yards across their two second-half possessions.

Dominic Zvada FG puts Michigan ahead of Nebraska

The Wolverines break their tie with Nebraska, going 22 yards in eight plays, setting up a Dominic Zvada 56-yard field goal that would have been good from 65 yards, if not 70. The kick ties a career long.

Since the start of the 2023 season, Zvada has made all nine of his field goal attempts from 50 yards or more.

Nebraska punts

Trapped inside their own 5-yard line, the Huskers aren’t able to do much of anything, going three-and-out and punting. Michigan will take over at its 40-yard line with 10:21 remaining in the third quarter after a 52-yard Archie Wilson punt.

Michigan punts on opening drive

The Wolverines get near midfield on their opening drive of the second half, but Justice Haynes is tackled two yard short of the sticks on a third-and-3, forcing a Michigan punt. Nebraska will take over at its own 3-yard line.

Halftime: Michigan 17, Nebraska 17

After Dylan Raiola’s Hail Mary touchdown pass, Nebraska and Michigan are tied at 17 at halftime. The Wolverines will get the opening kickoff of the second half.

Dylan Raiola Hail Mary TD ties Nebraska vs Michigan at halftime

Nebraska looked destined to head into halftime with a 7-point deficit, with a fourth-and-11 at its own 48-yard line with one second left in the second quarter. Dylan Raiola, however, had other ideas.

The Huskers’ sophomore quarterback rolls to his right and heaves up a Hail Mary, which ended up in the hands of Jacory Barney Jr. for a 52-yard touchdown with no time left on the clock.

Justice Haynes long TD run puts Michigan back ahead of Nebraska

Immediately after giving up the lead, Michigan takes it back.

On the first play from scrimmage after the Dylan Raiola touchdown pass, Wolverines running back Justice Haynes bursts through the middle of the Nebraska defense for a 75-yard touchdown run to put his team back on top, 17-10.

It’s the fourth touchdown run of at least 50 yards this season for the Alabama transfer.

Dylan Raiola TD pass ties Nebraska vs Michigan

We’ve got a tie ballgame in Lincoln. Nebraska’s third-down struggles end in a big way on its latest drive, with Dylan Raiola connecting with Jacory Barney Jr. for a 26-yard touchdown up the middle.

With the extra point, it’s tied at 10 with 2:01 remaining in the first half.

Michigan punts

The Wolverines pick up a first down on a Justice Haynes 11-yard run, but they’re not able to get past their own 36-yard line. A 49-yard Hudson Hollenbeck punt is returned 20 yards by Nebraska’s Jacory Barney Jr. to the Huskers’ 37.

Nebraska gets on the board with FG

The Huskers are able to turn the Bryce Underwood fumble into points. A Dylan Raiola 21-yard completion to Dane Key gets Nebraska down to the Michigan 21-yard line. On a third-and-3 from the Wolverines’ 14, Raiola is sacked for a 7-yard loss. Michigan already has three sacks only 21 minutes into the game.

Nebraska’s able to salvage the drive with some points, though, getting a 39-yard field goal from Kyle Cunanan.

Bryce Underwood fumbles, Nebraska recovers

Bryce Underwood is able to scamper for a first down on an 8-yard run on third-and-3, but the Michigan quarterback is stripped of the ball by Elijah Jeudy just before going to the turf. Nebraska falls on it and will take over at its own 48-yard line.

Nebraska punts

After a false start turned a third-and-3 into a third-and-8, Dylan Raiola is sacked for an 11-yard loss back at the Nebraska 16-yard line, forcing the Huskers to punt. Michigan will take over at its own 37 after a 47-yard punt from Archie Wilson.

End of first quarter: Michigan 10, Nebraska 0

The first quarter ends with Nebraska facing a third-and-3 from its own 32-yard line.

Wolverines pick off Dylan Raiola, score touchdown off turnover

Two Wolverines defenders key in on a quick out by Raiola. Jyaire Hill misses a potential pick-6, but linebacker Cole Sullivan makes the diving interception.

One play later, Bryce Underwood takes it 37 yards, untouched, up the gut on the QB keeper to get the first touchdown of the game. Michigan leads 10-0.

Michigan misses two TD opportunities, settle for field goal

Michigan will be kicking itself after two straight missed opportunities at touchdowns in Nebraska territory. The first saw the Wolverines attempt a trick play, with wide receiver Semaj Morgan underthrowing a wide-open Donaven McCulley in the end zone.

Two plays later, Underwood’s deep pass to Channing Goodwin bounces off his hands. The Wolverines instead settle for a 46-yard field goal.

Nebraska misses FG

A short punt with a bad bounce for Michigan gives Nebraska the ball at the Wolverines’ 37-yard line.

The Huskers get down to the Michigan 21 before Dylan Raiola is sacked for a 5-yard loss on third-and-7. After that, a Kyle Cunanan 44-yard field goal misses wide right, marking the first time this season he hasn’t connected on an attempt.

Nebraska has twice gotten inside the Michigan 25, but hasn’t come away with any points.

Michigan stuffs Nebraska on fourth down

Nebraska comes up empty-handed on a promising opening drive, getting down to the Michigan 6-yard line. From there, coach Matt Rhule opts to go for it on fourth-and-2, but the Wolverines snuff out a shovel pass from Dylan Raiola to Luke Lindenmeyer, with Lindenmeyer stopped a yard short of the sticks.

Michigan will take over at its own 5.

Nebraska jerseys vs Michigan

The Huskers will be going with their traditional home look against Michigan — white pants, red jerseys and white helmets.

Dodgers extend winning streak with major rally: Highlights

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to four games following a 7-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow also had to overcome a slow start in the first inning after Bryce Eldridge hit a three-run double for the Giants.

The Giants built an early four-run lead in the first inning before the Dodgers managed to rally and even the score in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Glasnow allowed six hits, four earned runs, while striking out seven in five innings pitched. The Dodgers used five other pitchers from the bullpen to finish out the game.

Michael Conforto hit a solo home run in the inning to make it a one-run game. Freddie Freeman produced an RBI single to right field to bring Shohei Ohtani in to tie the game at 4.

Ohtani also hit his 53rd home run during the game. He is now tied with Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies for the National League lead.

The Dodgers improve to 88-67 on the season. The Giants fall to 76-78.

The Dodgers’ magic number is now 3. The Giants will return to Dodger Stadium for an afternoon start against the Dodgers.

Highlights: Dodgers beat Giants

Final: Dodgers 7, Giants 5

The Dodgers complete the rally to beat the Giants. Los Angeles used six different pitchers in the game.

Rafael Devers, Giants try to answer back

Watch: Mariners’ Cal Raleigh sets team record with 57th home run

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit his 57th home run in the third inning against the Houston Astros on Saturday, Sept. 20, to pass Ken Griffey Jr.’s team record for most home runs in a season.

Griffey hit 56 homers for Seattle in 1997 and 1998.

With one out in the top of the third, Raleigh launched a solo home run to right-center field to give the Mariners a 3-0 lead and officially pass Griffey on the single-season home run list.

Earlier in the week, Raleigh had knocked in two home runs against the Royals in Kansas City, allowing him to surpass Mickey Mantle’s single-season record for long balls by a switch hitter (set in 1961) and equal the franchise record held by Griffey.

A first-time All-Star this year, Raleigh leads the major leagues in home runs and paces the American League with 118 RBIs. Earlier this year, he also set the single-season record for home runs by a full-time catcher, previously held by Salvador Perez of the Royals (48 in 2021).

The first-place Mariners (85-69) led the Houston Astros (84-70) by a game in the American League West entering Saturday’s game.
