Royce Lewis, Christian Vazquez each drive in 3 runs as Twins beat Dodgers 10-7
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Royce Lewis and Christian Vazquez each drove in three runs as the Minnesota Twins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7 on Tuesday night. Lewis, a native of nearby Orange County, Calif., had a runs-scoring fielder's choice in the second inning, a bases-loaded walk in the sixth, and a run-scoring grounder in the seventh that brought in two more runs on pitcher Edgardo Henriquez's throwing error. Andy Pages hit a three-run home run and Shohei Ohtani had a two-run shot for the Dodgers, who managed to end a six-game home losing streak Monday but have now dropped 11 of their past 14 overall since July 4. It is the first time Ohtani has hit a home run in four consecutive games. Dodgers All-Star right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up three runs — one earned — and five hits in five innings. Ben Casparius (7-4) was charged with three runs without recording an out in the sixth. The Twins took a 6-3 lead in the sixth inning with their second of three three-run innings as Lewis walked with the bases loaded, Harrison Bader had an RBI ground out and Vazquez delivered a run-scoring single. Hyeseong Kim brought the Dodgers to 6-5 with a two-run single in the sixth. The Twins responded with a three-run seventh when Lewis' comebacker scored Carlos Correa then brought in Ty France and Matt Walner when Henriquez threw past first base and into right field. France, from nearby West Covina, had an RBI double in the ninth. Key moment One night after losing left-handed reliever Tanner Scott to an elbow injury, the Dodgers saw Casparius depart with a right calf cramp immediately after he allowed Lewis' bases-loaded walk in the sixth. Casparius and Will Klein combined for six walks. Key stat The Twins' victory was only their third against the Dodgers since 2017, leaving them 3-12 against Los Angeles in the nine-year stretch. They are 3-13 all-time at Dodger Stadium, including postseason games. ___

Trio of Championship clubs chase out-of-contract Northern Ireland international
The 27-year-old left-back was released by Newcastle United this summer after a frustrating three-season stint at St James' Park that saw him make just 31 league appearances. Middlesbrough, West Bromwich Albion and his former club Norwich City are all keen to recruit the defender, who has earned 39-caps for Northern Ireland. The Luton native spent four season at Carrow Road, before earning a move to Newcastle in 2020. Lewis made the headlines last season when he joined Brazilian giants Sao Paulo on loan from the Magpies. However, the dream South American move turned into something of a nightmare. Lewis played just six games for the Tricolor Paulist before an injury saw the loan agreement prematurely terminated. Lewis' last game for Northern Ireland was in October 2024, when he featured in a 0-0 draw against Belarus. However, as the defender is one of the few natural NI-qualified left-backs playing beyond the Irish League, he is likely to return to the international fold if he can secure first team football at a Football League club.

Hundreds turn out for Lake County ‘good trouble' rallies; ‘Trump has broken the Constitution in so many ways'
Josie Perez, a native-born American citizen living in Park City fears for her naturalized American citizen parents as she believes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are taking people off the streets for no legal reason. Standing in Washington Park in Waukegan with approximately 500 others preparing to participate in a March on Washington Street to make 'good trouble' over a host of President Donald Trump's policies, Perez said her presence was personal. 'I'm here for my parents,' she said. 'They came here from another country searching for freedom. People shouldn't ever have to be afraid in America, but ICE is taking people off the streets because they look brown or Hispanic.' Perez was one of more than 500 people in Waukegan along with over 625 in Highland Park and 210 in Buffalo Grove marching or demonstrating against a host of Trump administration policies Thursday, making 'good trouble' on the fifth anniversary of U.S. Rep. John Lewis' death. Katie Salyer, an event organizer and a member of Northeast Lake County Indivisible, charged the Waukegan crowd preparing to march nearly a mile to heed Lewis' words urging people to make 'good trouble' to effect change. He was a civil rights leader before going to Congress. 'We should never, ever be afraid to make good trouble to save our democracy,' Salyer said. 'When I say, 'good trouble,' you say 'necessary trouble,'' she added, as salvos of the responsive chant began and continued along Washington and Genesee streets to Jack Benny Plaza. Leaving Washington Park at Glen Rock Avenue and Washington, the group walked east on Washington to Genesee and north to Jack Benny Plaza carrying signs with a variety of messages criticizing Trump policies on immigration, healthcare and more, as well as Lewis' words. A group of people was waiting for the marchers when they arrived. There was a police escort at the front and rear of the line. Once there, they heard from several speakers. One of the people was Douglas Raul Williams, a former U.S. Air Force sergeant. He said he was there for the Constitution. 'When I was in the military, I took an oath to defend the Constitution,' Williams said. 'Trump has broken the Constitution in so many ways. I'm here for the Constitution.' Former Waukegan Community School District Board of Education President Brandon Ewing led an effort to change the name of Thomas Jefferson Middle School to John Lewis Middle School four years ago. He hopes the students there will learn from Lewis' legacy. 'When Congressman John Lewis told us to get into good trouble, necessary trouble, he wasn't talking about chaos,' Ewing said. 'He was talking about courage. He was talking about doing what's right even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard.' Mano a Mano Family Resource Center Executive Director and Waukegan Township Trustee Dulce Ortiz was a featured speaker at the Jack Benny Plaza rally. An immigrant herself at a young age, she respects the courage of people who come from foreign lands seeking a better life. Ortiz criticized a number of recent measures in the 'big beautiful bill' recently passed by Congress containing spending cuts on human services like healthcare, education, food benefits and more, along with tax cuts. She said ICE agents are taking possible immigrants off the streets and have done much more. 'This is the most corrupt, criminal and fascist administration I've seen in my lifetime,' Ortiz said. 'Violating the rights of undocumented immigrants, legal permanent residents, DACA recipients and U.S. citizens by kidnapping them and tearing their families apart. They said they were only going to deport criminals. They lied.' Nancy Shepherdson, the vice chair of the Lake County Democrats and one of the organizers of the march and rally, urged people to help candidates for office get their petitions signed, and then work to get them elected. Ortiz issued a call to action. 'We protect us,' she said. 'Whether that means a pathway to citizenship, access to healthcare, access to housing, access to education or any number of issues, we're fighting for big, transformational change that won't be complete unless we organize and fight this corrupt administration.' Joan Zahnle of Highland Park helped organize the rally there. There was also a food drive. She said people from Indivisible Evanston came to join them, helping increase the size of the crowd in front of City Hall. State Sen. Adriane Johnson, D-Buffalo Grove, spoke at the Highland Park event. She said just as Lewis urged people to get into 'good trouble' to expand voting rights leading to significant change, it is time to heed his words once more. 'Throughout Illinois and the nation, we are getting into good trouble to save our democracy, to save our immigrant brothers and sisters, to preserve our way of life, and to protect our civil rights,' Johnson said in her speech. 'He was a national treasure,' Johnson said of Lewis. 'I am hopeful that the chaos and confusion, the inhumane and cruel treatment, and the un-American actions by the Trump administration will end soon.' Lake County Democratic Chair Lauren Beth Gash, who was at the rally in Highland Park, said before the event Lewis' version of good trouble, 'truly does live on when we stand up for our values with meaningful nonviolent action.' In Buffalo Grove, organizer Carolyn Pinta said 210 people lined the roadside with signs and chants as numerous people honked horns in support. People from Mundelein and other surrounding suburbs came to participate. 'We were happy to be in camaraderie with others who feel the same way we do. We were all glad to be here,' Pinta said. 'There was a lot of talk about what's going on with (Jeffrey) Epstein and that bill I won't name.' Lake County Republican Chair Keith Brin said in a text Friday that Trump's legislation and actions were part of the fulfillment of campaign promises. Brin does not believe the protests will lead to change. 'The protests were silly and ineffective, and changed nothing on the course of policy that America clearly voted for in the last presidential election,' Brin wrote. 'I hope at least the protestors enjoyed some time outside during the protests because that's all they amounted to.'

Tens of thousands in US join ‘Good Trouble' anti-Trump protests honoring John Lewis
People across all 50 US states on Thursday are joining marches and rallies at more than 1,500 sites to protest against the Trump administration and honor the legacy of the late congressman John Lewis, an advocate for voting rights and civil disobedience. The 'Good Trouble Lives On' day of action coincides with the fifth anniversary of Lewis's death. Lewis was a longtime congressman from Georgia who participated in iconic civil rights actions, including the march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965 when police attacked Lewis and other protesters on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Lewis implored people to participate in 'good trouble, necessary trouble' to advance their causes, and this call serves as the underpinning for the 17 July actions. Dozens of advocacy and civil rights organizations signed on as partners for the event. In Atlanta, Georgia, one of the main sites for the protest, Lewis' legacy rang loud as anti-Trump demonstrators marched down the courtyard of Dr Martin Luther King Jr's famed church, Ebenezer Baptist. 'We honor John Lewis's personal legacy, five years after being called home,' said the Rev Dr Jonathan Jay Augustine, the newly appointed senior pastor of Big Bethel AME church. 'He's someone who gave his life for inclusion and for inclusiveness, and the things he gave his life for are under attack and being eroded away.' About 1,000 people marched from Big Bethel and the landmark five-story tall mural of Lewis to Ebenezer Baptist, where the Rev Raphael Warnock, a Democratic senator from Georgia, is its senior pastor. Politics and faith are intertwined on Atlanta's streets and Lewis' legacy of political protest – and the unique animosity Donald Trump had for him, and for Atlanta's fifth district, which Lewis represented – is rarely far from the thoughts expressed by civil rights and voting rights leaders here. 'Today we go to send a message from the birthplace of civil rights to … the one that wants to destroy the Department of Education, the one that wants to deport millions upon millions of people seeking a better life, the one who won't release the Epstein files, the one who had the nerve to call the fifth district horrible and falling apart,' said Georgia NAACP president Gerald Griggs. 'We still have a message for that man. In Georgia, no one is above the law. You still have a court date in the fifth district.' In downtown Washington, hundreds of people gathered in a park a few blocks from the White House. Some held signs protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and comparing the Trump administration to Nazi Germany. 'Fascism will fall and when it falls, if you were complicit, you will be held accountable,' said Mary Baird, who traveled to Washington Thursday morning from North Carolina to meet with members of Congress before the protest. In downtown Minneapolis, the theme of 'good trouble' punctuated the speeches, with speakers imploring the crowd to follow Lewis' example and take a stand, even if it gets them in trouble. 'Stand up and get in the way,' said Nekima Levy Armstrong, a lawyer and social justice advocate who also called on the crowd to continue the boycott against Target, the retailer based in Minnesota. The events across the country Thursday were inspired by civil rights leaders like Lewis, who showed the power of collective action, the protest's website says. 'That's why on July 17, five years since the passing of congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.' Organizers said before Thursday's events that they expect tens of thousands of people to turn out in small towns, suburbs and cities, the latest exercise of street protests distributed across the country to show opposition to Trump in all corners of the US. The last mass day of protest, No Kings, in June drew several million people in one of the biggest single days of protest in US history. Thursday's events will probably be smaller as it is a weekday. Chicago will host the day's flagship event Thursday evening, with additional main sites in Atlanta, St Louis, Annapolis and Oakland. Events include rallies, marches, candlelight vigils, food drives, direct action trainings, teach-ins and voter registration drives. The protest's demands include an end to the Trump administration's crackdown on civil rights, including the right to protest and voting rights; targeting of Black and brown Americans, immigrants and trans people; and the slashing of social programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), known colloquially as 'food stamps'. 'One of the things that John Lewis would always say is that if you see something that's wrong, you have an obligation to speak up, to say something, to do something,' Daryl Jones, co-leader of the Transformative Justice Coalition, told reporters on Thursday. 'That's what July 17 is about – seeing things across this nation, seeing things that are being impacted, that are just not right. We've got to stand up and say something.' Solve the daily Crossword
