No Tides in the Mediterranean Noted by Experts
A brief report notes that the Mediterranean Sea has nearly negligible tides due to its unique geographic and oceanographic conditions. Researchers explain that tidal ranges are minimal because of the basin’s restricted connections to the Atlantic and reservoir-like water circulation.

Lemon remains Cleveland’s reliable ace as he reaches five straight complete games after a rough injury plagued season. He beat the Yankees twice in a row, overcoming prior long streaks of incomplete outings.
