ISLAMABAD (AP) — A three-day assembly of Islamic clerics and tribal elders in the Afghan capital concluded Saturday with pledges of support for the Taliban and calls on the international community to recognize the country's Taliban-led government.
The meeting in Kabul was tailored along the lines of Afghanistan’s traditional Loya Jirgas — regular councils of elders, leaders and prominent figures meant to deliberate Afghan policy issues.

Saturday Summaries from Mexican football (home teams listed first):
What a week for Robert Wickens, who picked up his second win in seven days on Saturday and also celebrated the birth of his first child. Wickens returned to his native Canada on Saturday and teamed with countryman Mark Wilkins to win the Touring Car class of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. The win followed their victory last week at Watkins Glen in New York, which marked Wickens’ first victory since he suffered a career-halting spinal cord injury in a 2018 IndyCar race. He uses hand controls to race for Bryan Herta Autosport.
CINCINNATI — The Braves on Saturday defeated the Reds, 4-1, to take the series at Great American Ball Park. Atlanta goes for the sweep on Sunday.
BRASILIA, BRAZIL (AP) - Results from Brazilian football:
NEW YORK — A 3-year-old boy plummeted to his death from the 29th-floor balcony of a Manhattan high-rise on Saturday morning, police said.
Argentine Economy Minister Martin Guzman resigned Saturday, marking the biggest departure of President Alberto Fernandez’s government after infighting within the ruling coalition escalated.
Nolan Arenado sparked a record barrage of four straight home runs by St. Louis in the first inning, then hit a tiebreaking drive in the ninth that sent the Cardinals over the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6. With two outs in the first, Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carson homered off Kyle Gibson. It was the first time in major league history a team connected for four homers in a row in the first inning. The Cardinals tied the MLB record for any inning with four in a row. It was 6-all when Arenado led off the ninth by clearing the wall in left field off Seranthony Domínguez for his 17th home run. Arenando hit for the cycle on Friday night in the Cardinals’ 5-3 defeat to the Phillies.
NEW YORK — The Mets had their chances to bury the Rangers, but the offense never clicked in a sleepy 7-3 loss at Citi Field.
Jesús Aguilar hit a two-run home run in the first inning and scored in the seventh, Daniel Castano picked up his first victory of the season and the Miami Marlins continued their domination of the Washington Nationals with a 5-3 victory. The Marlins have won 10 of 11 games against the Nationals in 2022. They’re 26-39 against everyone else. Miami’s latest win came in a sloppy game that included four throwing errors and a couple of wild pitches. Washington’s Juan Soto also provided some holiday weekend fireworks with his 15th home run of the season.
DETROIT — The Tigers were dead in the water. No hits since the fifth inning.
HOUSTON — For a moment in the Angels’ 9-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday, they had a chance to get back into the game.
SEATTLE — Fighting through the pain in his left shoulder and the worst slump of his career, Abraham Toro has found a little optimism for him and the Mariners.
WASHINGTON — Daniel Castano doesn’t fit the profile of the prototypical starting pitcher seen in MLB today. His fastball isn’t overpowering, averaging around 91 mph. He’s a crafty lefty, a 27-year-old who spent the past two seasons going up and down between the majors and Triple-A when the M…
MINNEAPOLIS — For the second consecutive game, the Twins ended with a walk-off victory.
Argentina's economy minister has resigned unexpectedly at the end of a week in which the peso hit an all-time low against the dollar and truck drivers struck diesel shortages. Martin Guzman announced Saturday on Twitter that he had sent a multi-page resignation letter to President Alberto Fernandez. The value of the Argentine peso has tumbled amid high inflation. Prices have risen nearly 30% this year, and analysts predict inflation could rise above 70% for all of 2022. The work stoppages by truck drivers have disrupted economic activity, including the delivery to ports of grain, which is one of Argentina’s main imports.
NEW YORK (AP) — Kole Calhoun homered twice and drove in four runs, Martín Pérez won his seventh straight decision and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Mets 7-3 on Saturday.
LOS ANGELES — Six people have been indicted in four separate cryptocurrency fraud cases involving more than $130 million in losses, including the single largest NFT scheme charged to date, federal prosecutors said this week.
Paul Casey, the Englishman ranked No. 26 in the world, has joined the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf tour. Casey, who hasn’t played a tournament round since March because of injuries, plans to make his LIV debut later this month at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. Casey, 44, has won 21 times as a professional, including three times on the PGA Tour and 15 times on the European Tour. He has been on five Ryder Cup teams.
LOS ANGELES — It was perhaps the most uncertain stretch in the history of college athletics. Chaos reigned amid rumors of realignment. A blue-blood program was threatening to abandon its conference over TV money. Another conference commissioner was openly courting that blue blood with the in…
Mac McClung scored 17 points in 16 minutes, Paris Bass added 15 and the Los Angeles Lakers opened the California Classic with a 100-66 win over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Scotty Pippen Jr. scored 14 and Cole Swider added 13 for the Lakers, who never trailed in the first summer league game of the season. Javonte Smart scored 13 for Miami, while Haywood Highsmith and Kyle Allman Jr. each finished with 11. First-round pick Nikola Jovic scored three points on 1-for-6 shooting for Miami.
Brandon Brown wanted a way to change the narrative behind the “Let’s go, Brandon” message after his first career NASCAR victory inadvertently fostered a chant that has been used to insult President Joe Biden. Brown found that new message thanks to the family of an 8-year-old child with autism. Brandon Brundidge of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, believed the ‘Let’s go, Brandon' signs he saw were cheering him on. He started trying activities he’d never attempted before. His mother used that story to write a children’s book. The cover design of Brundidge’s book decorated Brown's Camaro for his Xfinity Series race Saturday at Road America.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky Court of Appeals judge has denied a motion by Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a lawsuit over the state’s abortion laws, a move that will allow abortions to continue for now.
