and JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
MORTON — U.S. immigration
officials raided seven Mississippi
chicken processing plants Wednes-
day, arresting 680 mostly Latino
workers in the largest workplace
sting in at least a decade.
The raids, planned months ago,
happened just hours before Presi-
dent Donald Trump visited El Paso,
Texas, the majority-Latino border
city where a man linked to an online
screed about a “Hispanic invasion”
was charged in a shooting that left
22 people dead.
“On a day when we seek unifying
words and acts to heal the nation’s
broken heart, President Trump al-
lows so many families and communi-
ties to be torn apart,” said Angelica
Salas, executive director of the Coa-
lition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
About 600 U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agents
fanned out across the plants operat-
ed by five companies, surrounding
the perimeters to prevent workers
from fleeing.
In Morton, about 40 miles east of
the capital of Jackson, workers filled
three buses — two for men and one
for women — at a Koch Foods Inc.
plant.
Those arrested were taken to a
military hangar to be processed for
immigration violations. About 70
family, friends and residents waved
goodbye and shouted, “Let them go!
Let them go!” Later, two more buses
arrived.
A tearful 13-year-old boy whose
parents are from Guatemala waved
goodbye to his mother, a Koch
worker, as he stood beside his fa-
ther. Some employees tried to flee
on foot but were captured in the
parking lot.
Workers, including Domingo
Candelaria, who could show they
were in the country legally were al-
lowed to leave the plant after agents
searched the trunks of their vehi-
cles.
“It was a sad situation inside,”
Candelaria said.
Mississippi is the nation’s
fifth-largest chicken producing
state and the plants’ tough process-
ing jobs have mainly been filled by
Latino immigrants eager to take
whatever work they can get. Chick-
en plants dominate the economies
of Morton and other small towns
east of Jackson.
Based in Park Ridge, Illinois,
Koch is one of the largest poultry
producers in the U.S, with opera-
tions in Mississippi and five other
states. The company didn’t respond
to telephone calls and emails seek-
ing comment.
Matthew Albence, ICE’s acting
director, told The Associated Press
in an interview Wednesday in Pearl,
just down the road from the Koch
long-term operation that’s been go-
ing on.” He said raids are “racially
neutral” and based on evidence of
illegal residency.
The companies involved could
be charged with knowingly hiring
workers who are in the county ille-
gally and will be scrutinized for tax,
document and wage fraud, Albence
said.
Bill Chandler, executive direc-
tor of the Mississippi Immigrant
Rights Alliance, called the “terri-
ble” raids “another effort to drive
Latinos out of Mississippi,” and he
blamed Trump for fanning racism
with his past incendiary comments
about immigrants.
“This is the same thing that
Trump is doing at the border with
the Border Patrol,” he said, refer-
ring to the increased crackdown on
migrants coming into the U.S.
Major immigration raids were
common under President George
W. Bush, including one at a ko-
sher meatpacking plant in Post-
ville, Iowa, in 2008 that resulted in
about 400 arrests. President Barack
Obama avoided them, limiting
workplace immigration efforts to
low-profile audits.
Trump resumed workplace
raids, but the months of preparation
and hefty resources they require
make them rare. Last year, the ad-
ministration targeted a landscaping
company near Toledo, Ohio, and a
meatpacking plant in eastern Ten-
nessee.
versus liberals. I respect Justice
Waller. He is a good man, but he
is not a conservative.’
Mississippi GOP governor
candidate Tate Reeves
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi second-term Lt. Gov.
Tate Reeves fell short of the majority needed to win
the Republican nomination for governor. Now fac-
ing a party primary runoff, Reeves says he will tell
voters that he’s the only conservative in the race.
His rival in the Aug. 27 runoff is Bill Waller Jr.,
a retired chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme
Court.
“This is about conservatives versus liberals,”
Reeves, 45, told reporters Wednesday at his cam-
paign headquarters. “I respect Justice Waller. He
is a good man, but he is not a conservative.”
In a separate news conference at his own cam-
paign office, Waller said Wednesday that Reeves
glosses over problems. Waller, 67, said Mississippi
has a “dysfunctional” system with one of the high-
est-paid state superintendents of education in the
U.S. and some of the lowest-paid teachers. Waller
also described the state’s standardized testing for
high school students as a “bridge to nowhere.”
“He says that everything is fine with education,”
Waller said of Reeves. “And, the facts are, we have
over a thousand teacher vacancies.”
Mississippi’s fourth-term attorney general, Jim
Hood, easily defeated seven low-budget candidates
Tuesday to win the Democratic primary for gover-
nor. Hood received about 69 percent of the primary
vote. He hopes to break the grip Republicans have
held on the governorship for 16 years in the con-
servative Southern state.
During a news conference Wednesday at a
school in Jackson, Hood said he will push to in-
crease teachers’ salaries and to expand state-fund-
ed preschool programs.
Hood, 57, said he has spoken to teachers who

— maybe only three — if
CMSD finds that students
aren’t accessing the inter-
net from one or more of
the sites. Gale said that’s
possible, but CLW select-
ed those five locations
to help CMSD reach the
most students.
“We chose five loca-
tions, and those five in
particular, because that’s
the number it would take
to give students adequate
coverage given where
they live,” Gale said. “We
wanted to make sure we
were giving the maxi-
mum amount of access
possible.”
Gale said he will write
up a memorandum of
understanding between
CMSD and CLW and
present at the next CLW
board meeting. Mean-
while, CMSD will contin-
ue to collect the final cost
estimate to present at a
future board meeting.
“With a
relatively
small cost,
to be able
to provide
such an es-
sential ser-
vice to stu-
dents, I’m Spears
really ex-
cited about that,” Spears
said. “I’m looking forward
to next steps.”
Investing in access
Labat and Spears both
believe providing internet
access to district students
is a way of leveling the
playing field.
“You don’t think about
the internet as something
that some people don’t
have, especially in this
age,” Labat said. “But
we’re in an area where
students are often un-
der-served. Providing
them with internet will
give them the capacity to
exceed above what they
may have been able to
otherwise.”
When CMSD first be-
gan discussing the possi-
bility of providing inter-
net to students outside of
school buildings, Spears
was excited at the possi-
bility of using a resource
that goes unused for large
portions of the day to the
benefit of the students. He
said that sentiment still
remains, especially as the
district continues to place
emphasis on equipping
students to do their best
work.
“I think this kind of
investment outside of the
classroom will have an
immeasurable impact,”
he said. “We’re investing
in students in a way that
will help them learn even
when they’re not in these
walls.”
Labat added that
CMSD administration
has been trying to be
more aware of the dis-
crepancies in “digital
equity” throughout the
district. Through initia-
tives such as One to One,
where laptop computers
are provided to Columbus
High School students for
at-home use, and through
this internet provision
plan, she hopes to close
that gap between stu-
dents who have internet at
home and those who don’t
in an effort to make it one
less barrier standing be-
tween students and their
potential.
“We believe in digital
equity,” she said. “We be-
lieve that students should
have the opportunity to
use the technology that
runs the world. And if
providing internet access
is a way we can do it, then
we’re going to try our best
to provide it.”

Y
ou hear the call all the
time.
More women, more
minorities, more people in
general, need to become
involved in public service —
whether that’s running for
office or seeking appointment
to local boards and com-
missions. It’s not a call for a
certain person to win as much
as it is a plea for options and
participation.
This call has come reg-
ularly from these pages, as
well as from so many other
individuals and organizations
in communities across the
country. But so many times, it
seems, we throw it out almost
as a formality to inevitably be
Answering the call to serve
swallowed up by the vacuum
of apathy.
In Columbus, though, peo-
ple are starting to answer the
call, and it’s already making a
difference.
Earlier this year, local real
estate agent Dana McLean
launched a campaign to un-
seat longtime District 39 State
Rep. Jeff Smith that seemed
ill-fated when just looking at
the metrics. Smith touts 28
years in the House of Repre-
sentatives, he is chairman of
the House Ways and Means
Committee and he carried en-
dorsements from such figures
as Gov. Phil Bryant. Oh, and
he accumulated about $75,000
in campaign funds (mostly
Our View
from political action commit-
tees), which was five times
what McLean raised.
Still, on Tuesday, in a state
where incumbency typical-
ly means everything, the
hard-campaigning McLean
won.
The old standby cop-outs
of “Why bother running? The
outcome is already decided.”
and “Everybody knows money
wins elections” are — at least
sometimes — just not true.
Now look at the Ward 4
Columbus council race. After
sitting councilman Fred Jack-
son resigned mid-term, six
candidates have thrown their
hats in the ring; most of them
are women.
Though we are greatly
saddened by the sudden loss
of Ward 1 Councilman Gene
Taylor — who represented his
constituents with wisdom, pa-
tience and caring in his time
on the council — a special
election to fill that vacancy
creates another opportunity
for citizens in that ward to
serve.
Don’t misunderstand:
We’re certainly not saying
incumbents should never win.
It’s that competition tends to
be better for democracy in the
long run. Candidates running
unopposed time after time can
breed voter apathy.
Simply running for a seat
can give an individual a
greater understanding of how
public service works. Perhaps
most importantly, challengers
help breed new generations of
leaders.
We want to thank Rep.
Smith for his service. His time
in the Legislature has been
invaluable, and the institution-
al knowledge we lose with his
departure will be missed.
We also want to again
challenge citizens to step
forward the next time you see
an opportunity to serve your
community, whether it’s an
election, a non-profit board,
volunteering or a city com-
mission. The future isn’t set in
stone and your participation
matters.

Hog-killing gets
a PR boost
The biggest threat from “outside
agitators” these days in Mississippi
comes from four-legged, longsnout-
ed, two-tusked creatures with vora-
cious appetites and no natural foes.
Yes, non-native wild hogs are a
serious danger to the state’s leading
industry, agriculture. The feral pigs
cause more than $66 million in prop-
erty damage annually in the state,
according to the Mississippi State
Extension Service.
Traveling in large groups called
“sounders,” they are wily, destruc-
tive beasts. They can quickly level
acres of row crops, devour fawns
and the young of other native
animals and are adept at avoiding
capture.
And the rapidly reproducing hogs
continue to expand throughout Mis-
sissippi, being found in all 82 coun-
ties today versus just 23 counties in
1988, the Extension Service says.
So it makes sense for Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Andy Gipson
to take on the issue, even if it’s part
of the incumbent’s election pitch. He
announced at the Neshoba County
Fair last week the “Commissioner’s
Wild Hog Challenge.”
“We don’t need to talk about
it anymore; we need to kill some
hogs!” the Republican declared.
Hunters are encouraged to
report hogs they harvest in August
and September to the Agriculture

2020 Democrats target Trump gains in rural areas

‘If we don’t fight everywhere, we’re going to
continue to lose in the places where we don’t
show up, and it’s going to get worse and worse’
By ALEX ANDRA JAFFE
and ELANA SCHOR
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa —
They’re flanked by hay bales
on otherwise deserted fields,
speak atop countertops at
small-town coffee shops and
tour farms far removed from
city centers. Democratic presi-
dential candidates are trying to
prove they can gain ground in
rural areas that swung to Presi-
dent Donald Trump.
On Wednesday alone, three
Iowa Democrat J.D. Scholten
White House hopefuls — Eliz-
abeth Warren, Kirsten Gil-
librand and Amy Klobuchar
— offered sweeping proposals
that touch on everything from
farm subsidies to rural broad-
band and health care. The trio
of senators are among the pa-
rade of candidates who will fan
out across Iowa this weekend to
participate in the famed state
fair and other events.
The focus on rural Iowa is
a mainstay of presidential pol-
itics, sending candidates on a
sometimes-awkward pilgrim-
age to the far corners of the state
that holds the first-in-the-nation
caucuses. But Democrats say
the chase for the heartland is
especially urgent this year as
the party tries to win back some
voters who supported Trump in
2016. A strong showing in Iowa,
they say, could prove a candi-
date’s ability to make inroads in
other rural communities across
the country.
“If we don’t fight every-
where, we’re going to continue
to lose in the places where we
don’t show up, and it’s going to
get worse and worse,” said J.D.
Scholten, the Democrat who is
challenging GOP Rep. Steve
King again after nearly prevail-
ing in the heavily rural north-
eastern Iowa district in 2018.
The challenge for Demo-
crats is to rebuild the multi-
racial coalition across urban
and rural areas that twice sent
Barack Obama to the White
House. His victory in the 2008
Iowa caucuses helped build
momentum to claim the party’s
presidential nomination. He lat-
er carried Iowa in the 2008 and
2012 general elections while
also winning states with urban
centers, such as Pennsylvania
and Michigan.
In 2016, Trump ate into that
path, carrying Iowa, Pennsylva-
nia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Some Democratic candi-
dates are working to reverse
those gains by offering ambi-
tious changes to rural voters.
Warren’s proposal on Wednes-
day would reshape the current
farm subsidy system into a pro-
gram that would break up big
agribusinesses and guarantee
farmers certain prices, which
she said would raise farmers’
incomes and save taxpayer
money.
Gillibrand’s plan includes a
$50 billion block grant program
for the Department of Agricul-
ture to distribute to rural com-
munities, among other planks
addressing rural health care
and infrastructure. Former
Iowa Governor and Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack praised
her plan as “unique” for empha-
sizing a partnership between
rural communities and the fed-
eral government, and praised it
as placing a premium on “rural
communities leading this ef-
fort.”

5 years after Ferguson, racial US urges increased

tension might be more intense caution for Americans
Ferguson ‘drew attention to the practices
of police violence and a lot of the stereotypes and
viewpoints that people had about black Americans’
Washington University sociologist Adia Harvey Wingfield
By JIM SALTER
The Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. — Michael
Brown’s death at the hands of a
white Missouri police officer stands
as a seismic moment in American
race relations. The fledgling Black
Lives Matter movement found its
voice, police departments fell under
intense scrutiny, progressive prose-
cutors were elected and court poli-
cies revised.
Yet five years after the black
18-year-old was fatally shot by Fer-
guson police officer Darren Wilson
on a steamy August day, racial ten-
sion remains palpable and may be
even more intense. From the march
on Charlottesville to President
Donald Trump’s tweets attacking
congressional Democrats of color
and Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling
at NFL games, the country often
seems more divided than ever.
Ferguson “drew attention to the
practices of police violence and a lot
of the stereotypes and viewpoints
that people had about black Amer-
icans,” said Adia Harvey Wingfield,
a Washington University sociolo-
gist and expert on race relations.
“I wish I could be a little more opti-
mistic about its overall implications,
but I am not sure yet that there is
too much reason for optimism. I
think that we’re in a place where we
kind of see some progress coupled
with some steps backward.”
The suburban St. Louis commu-
nity has changed, though to some,
not fast enough. The government
for the city of 21,000 is now more
reflective of its populace, which is
two-thirds black. Four of the six
City Council members are black,
compared with just one in 2014. The
police force that was overwhelm-
ingly white in 2014 is now far more
diverse.
The town has seen sweeping
changes in the way the Police De-
partment and municipal court op-
erate. An ongoing agreement with
the Justice Department requires
even more reforms, and the monitor
overseeing the agreement wants
the pace to accelerate.
Behind all of that, a father still
grieves.
“We share the same name,” Mi-
chael Brown Sr., 41, said of his son.
“We have the same blood. He has
no voice. I have the voice for him so
I have to keep pushing.”

State Department warnings due
to increasing violence surrounding
pro-democracy protests
The Associated Press
HONG KONG — The U.S. government on
Thursday stepped up its warnings to travelers to
Hong Kong because of increasing violence sur-
rounding pro-democracy protests in the Chinese
city.
The State Department’s Level 2 travel adviso-
ry issued Thursday urges “increased caution in
Hong Kong due to civil unrest” and tells travelers
to avoid demonstrations and to “exercise caution if
unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or
protests.”
The protests were sparked two months ago by
proposed extradition legislation that could have
seen suspects sent to mainland China, where pro-
testers say they could face torture and unfair politi-
cized trials. They have since morphed into calls for
broader democratic reforms in the former British
colony, along with the resignation of Chief Exec-
utive Carrie Lam and investigations into alleged
police abuse of force.

CFR
Continued from Page 1A
issue at the center of the
debate is whether Smith
has to attend all, if any, of
the training trips.
Smith has maintained
he is required to testify
before the accreditation
board and answer ques-
tions about CFR.
“I’m not going to walk
into that room not know-
ing what I’m talking
about,” Smith previously
told The Dispatch.
But on Wednesday,
when the 12-person ac-
creditation board con-
vened, a livestream of
the session The Dispatch
viewed online revealed
Smith’s contributions
were scarcely more than
introducing himself.
“I want the commis-
sion to know I am very
committed to Columbus
Fire and Rescue,” Smith
told the CPSE board
Wednesday. “I really ap-
preciate the jobs they do
for the citizens of Colum-
bus.”
Three CPSE board
members thanked Smith
for coming to the panel
and for his dedication
to enhancing CFR. No
questions were directed
toward Smith during the
20-minute session.
All others in the city
contingent — including
Andrews, Assistant Chief
Duane Hughes, Chief of
Training Mike Chandler
and Accreditation Manag-
er Alan Lewis — did field
questions from the panel.
A representative from
CPSE, who asked not
to be named, said fire
departments seeking
accreditation are only re-
quired to send the chief,
the accreditation manag-
er and the leader for the
peer assessor team.
The CPSE representa-
tive said departments can
send up to six representa-
tives — which Columbus
did — and it is always
“awesome” when the may-
or comes for support. De-
partments typically send
what they can financially
afford, the representative
added.
“It depends on the fi-
nances and who can trav-
el,” the representative
said. “It’s great that the
mayor came. ... It doesn’t
always happen. But it’s
pretty standard to have
six people.”

I voted for it. ... The chief
still maintains that it was

Is accreditation
worth it?
Ward 6 Councilman

ical of re-ac-
credit at ion
expenses,
engaged
Andrews
once more
at a coun- Gavin
cil meeting
Tuesday to explain why
the city needed it.
Andrews explained
the accreditation process
pushes CFR to effective-
ly improve their training
regimen and response
times, among other
things.
The chief argued it
also helps with firefight-
er accountability.
“You can put a lot of
things in place,” An-
drews said. “We also say
the first of the year. How
long does that last before
we get uninterested? It’s
going to last as long as
we’re accredited. One
thing about accredita-
tion, they hold your feet
to the fire.”
Gavin remained un-
moved.
“It appears to me
we’re trying to have a Ca-
dillac on a Chevy budget,
or a Volkswagen budget,”

Gavin told Andrews.
“You’ve mentioned you
improved your response
time. I assume the re-
sponse time is the gentle-
men getting off the truck
and answering the call a
little quicker. Are these
things you can’t practice
and put into place with-
out accreditation?”
In Tuesday’s discus-
sion, Andrews said he
has cut the fire depart-
ment’s budget consider-
ably over the past year in
ways that have not affect-
ed accreditation. He said
the Atlanta contingent
even cut its plans a day
short to bring the cost
closer to $7,000.
“I believe in things be-
ing done the right way,”
Andrews said. “I know
100 percent we have
done our due diligence
in cutting our budget.
… If anybody really has
a question and wants
an answer, come to the
source and ask.”
He also aimed to “clear
up misconceptions”
about the difference be-
tween national accredita-
tion and the State Rating
Bureau’s rating for the
department, which af-
fects homeowner insur-
ance rates. Columbus is
a Class 3, which rates it
as one of the five best in
the state. And while ac-
creditation practices can
indirectly help improve a
department’s fire rating,
the two are otherwise
mutually exclusive.
“The truth is, the fire
rating bureau and CPSE
are two different enti-
ties,” he said. “(CPSE)
mimics the state bureau
Mary Pollitz/Dispatch Staff
of what we have to do.
We’re trying to move to
a Class 2. We’re trying to
get businesses to come
to this city and boost
our tax base. It ain’t just
about the fire depart-
ment.”
Gavin, though, chal-
lenged Andrews to cut
his budget deeper.
“I respect accredita-
tion. I think it’s a good
thing,” Gavin said. “It’s
cost us a lot of money. ...
Part of my job is to try to
help these city finances,
and driving that Cadillac
is going to be hard for
us. I appreciate you cut-
ting your budget, but we
may have to cut deeper. If
we get to a certain point
where the city finances
suffer, we might have to
cut the fire department.
Would you rather have
a fire department or ac-
creditation?”
Andrews considered
silently a moment before
answering.
“I’d rather have both,”
he said. “If I had to
choose, if I don’t have
firefighters, I don’t have
accreditation. When we
are spending money, it
shouldn’t be anything
held against us. We took
that money, and our
training, and set it aside.
This is a cost we budget-
ed for with the money
you allowed us to have.”
When contacted by
The Dispatch, all four
city councilmen said
they would look harder at
all departments, includ-
ing CFR, to find more fat
to cut in the Fiscal Year
2020 budget.
Gavin maintains CFR
will be a particular point
of interest.
“I think the chief does
a good job and I do think
this accreditation is a
good thing,” Gavin said.
“It’s cost us a lot of mon-
ey. Taking six people on
this trip is not necessary.
... Some people might say
this is petty. It is petty.
It’s small change. We’ve
got to start somewhere
though.”

‘YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN FROM IT’ Braves hit 4
homers in 11-7
win to take
series from Twins
By DAVE CAMPBELL
The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota

Twins have put on quite the power display
this season at Target Field.

bigger show of strength to win this inter-
league series between first-place teams.

teur at Old Waverly Golf Club. “You never feel good against this club until
the game’s over.”

MSU’s Gilliam falls in US Women’s Amateur

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
WEST POINT — Ashley Gilliam began the long
walk back to the clubhouse.
After 21 holes, temperatures that reached 90 degrees
and a near miss, Gilliam fell on the third playoff hole to
Katie Chipman in Wednesday’s round of 64 match at
the U.S. Women’s Amateur at Old Waverly Golf Club.
“One of my goals coming into the week was to make
the cut,” Gilliam said through a choked voice as tears
formed in her eyes. “But it’s really disappointing not to
make it to the round of 32. It’s a good learning experi-
ence.”
Gilliam, an incoming freshman at Mississippi State,
held a 1-up advantage heading into the final three holes
of the day. She bogeyed No. 16, courtesy of a slightly
wayward tee shot and a second ball that landed in the
thick rough short of the green.
Chipman took the lead on the par-3 17th after nest-
ling her first shot within four feet. Gilliam pared to put
the pressure on the Grand Valley State product but to
no avail. Chipman drained her birdie putt and headed
to the final tee box needing to just halve the final hole
for victory.
Drama ensued on the 18th. Chipman sent her tee
shot into the water down the left side of the fairway. She
then fired her replacement ball into the rough along
the left side and put her fourth shot into the sand trap
guarding the front left of the green. Chipman ultimate-
ly conceded the hole when Gilliam reached the green
in two shots with a safe drive and slick iron shot from
the fringe.
Following the tie, the duo headed to hole No. 1 for a
playoff. Gilliam had a chance to end the match on the
first green with a four-foot putt from above the cup after
Chipman, who struggled putting all-day, clanked home
a 16-footer for par.
Gilliam missed the ensuing putt — extending the
match to a second playoff hole. Both players pared No.
2 with relative ease before Chipman took the match at
No. 3.
“It’s a little disappointing,” Gilliam said. “I wasn’t hit-
ting my driver very well, I had a lot of shots that ended
up in the rough and out here you can’t really go for pin
out of the rough.”
The Manchester, Tennessee native was the lone
Bulldog in the field of 156. She advanced to the match
play portion of the tournament after firing an even-par
142 between the first two rounds of stroke play — plac-
ing her tied for 21st.
As Chipman and her gathered friends and family
boarded golf carts headed for the clubhouse just off the
third green, Gilliam, her father, Marshall, and MSU
assistant coach Kourtnie Maxoutopoulis traded words.
The trio wandered down the meandering cart path at
a steady pace. Maxoutopoulis reassured the 18-year-old
of her performance — one that offered glimpses of bril-
liance while also demonstrating how a pressure-packed
atmosphere and a handful of minute mistakes can take
their toll on a youthful player.
In just a few short weeks, Gilliam will begin her ca-
reer with the Bulldogs. Endless practice rounds and
qualifying tournaments await at Old Waverly — MSU’s
home course — over her next four years. But Sunday,
the pain of defeat proved overwhelming as a chance at
advancing agonizingly slipped by.
“In golf you’re going to lose matches,” Gilliam said,
still teary-eyed. “You just have to learn from it.”
Max Fried (13-4) used a season-high
10 strikeouts to win his fourth consecutive
start, pitching into the sixth inning before
finding trouble. The terrific trio at the top
of the lineup provided more than sufficient
support, with Acuña, Albies and Freeman
combining for eight hits and five RBIs in
15 at-bats. They were 23 for 45 with seven
home runs and 15 RBIs in this three-game
series.
Fried struck out seven of the first nine
batters he faced. He’s 6-0 in his last nine
starts on the road, becoming the first
Braves left-hander to reach the 13-win
mark since Mike Minor in 2013.
“When you already have a couple runs
across, it makes it easier to relax and try to
make a few pitches,” catcher Tyler Flowers
said.
Albies and Freeman each connected on
the first pitch they faced from Martín Pérez
in the first inning, just like Acuña and Free-
man did in the first and third innings on
Tuesday night against Twins All-Star Jose
Berrios. Charlie Culberson went 4 for 5 with
two RBIs, Johan Camargo drove in three
runs, and the Braves reached double-digit
runs and 16 hits for the second straight day.
This was the fifth time in three weeks the
Twins allowed 10-plus runs.
The total would’ve been higher had it not
been for the triple play turned in the third
inning by third baseman Miguel Sanó, sec-
ond baseman Jonathan Schoop and first
baseman C.J. Cron on a sharp grounder
hit by Flowers. That was the second triple
play the Twins handed Pérez this summer,
this one coming with the bases loaded and
three runs already in for the Braves to keep

Major League Baseball Round Up

Yankees extend winning streak to 8 with 14-2 rout of Orioles

The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Gio
Urshela and Kyle Higash-
ioka each hit two home
runs, and the Yankees’
long-ball outburst against
the Baltimore Orioles
reached historical pro-
portions Wednesday
night in a 14-2 blowout
that extended New York’s
winning streak to eight
games.
Urshela had a pair
of two-run drives, and
Higashioka totaled five
RBIs with his two shots. It
was the first career multi-
homer game for both play-
ers.
The Yankees have 11
players with multihomer
games against Baltimore
this season, breaking the
record of 10 set by San
Francisco against the
Dodgers in 1958.
Cameron Maybin also
went deep for the Yan-
kees, who tied a major
league record with 16
home runs in a three-
game series. New York
has hit 52 homers against
the Orioles this season,
breaking its own major
league mark of 48 against
the Kansas City Athletics
in 1956.
The frustration of be-
ing dominated in this lop-
sided three-game series
reached a boiling point
for the last-place Orioles
in the middle of the fifth
inning. After manager
Brandon Hyde leaned
over and said something
to Chris Davis, the first
baseman lurched in
Hyde’s direction and had
to be restrained by team-
mate Mark Trumbo and
hitting coach Don Long.
James Paxton (7-6) al-
lowed one run (a homer
by Trey Mancini) over 6
2/3 innings to help the
Yankees roll to their 15th
straight victory at Cam-
den Yards and 12th in a
row overall against the
Orioles.
n Mets 7, Marlins 2:
NEW YORK — Michael
Conforto homered twice,
Pete Alonso and Jeff Mc-
Neil hit two-run shots
and New York completed
a four-game sweep of Mi-
ami.
The Mets posted their
sixth straight victory,
winning for the 13th time
in 14 games.
Steven Matz (7-7) won
again at Citi Field, help-
ing New York stay in the
thick of the NL wild-card
race.
Matz (7-7) allowed two
runs on seven hits and
two walks over 6 2/3 in-
nings, striking out seven.
Lewis Brinson put Mi-
ami on the board with an
RBI single in the second.
Brian Anderson added a
solo homer in the sixth,
his 18th.
n Dodgers 2, Cardi-
nals 1: LOS ANGELES
— Russell Martin drove
a two-run, two-out sin-
gle up the middle for the
Dodgers’ 10th walk-off
win of the season, and Los
Angeles swept St. Louis.
Casey Sadler (2-0)
pitched the ninth for Los
Angeles, which avoided
its first shutout loss since
May 18 in dramatic fash-
ion for its fifth straight
win.
Dustin May threw 5
2/3 innings of five-hit
ball in a strong second
career start for the Dodg-
ers, who called up the
redheaded power pitcher
last week. May had seven
strikeouts and held his
own with Jack Flaherty,
but remained winless in
the big leagues.
St. Louis’ bullpen
couldn’t come through for
Flaherty, who struck out
10 with just one walk.
n White Sox 8, Ti-
gers 1: DETROIT — Ivan
Nova pitched eight score-
less innings, and Chicago
beat Detroit.
Nova (7-9) allowed
five hits, walked three
and struck out one as he
picked up his third win in
four starts.
Former Tiger James
McCann had three RBIs,
while Tim Anderson
reached base five times
and scored three runs.
The White Sox took
three of four games from
the Tigers and went 5-2
on their trip to Philadel-
phia and Detroit.
Detroit has lost six of
seven and is 5-21 since
the All-Star break.
n Blue Jays 4, Rays
3: ST. PETERSBURG,
Fla. — Reliever Brock
Stewart allowed two hits
over four scoreless in-
nings in his Toronto debut
and win over Tampa Bay.
Blue Jays rookie Bo Bi-
chette set a team record
with a double in eight
straight games, break-
ing the mark of seven
set by Carlos Delgado in
2000. The 21-year-old Bi-
chette also extended his
career-opening hitting
streak to 10 games.
Ken Giles picked up
his 15th save.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.,
Randal Grichuk and Der-
ek Fisher homered for the
Blue Jays.
Rays two-way player
Brendan McKay (2-2)
gave up three runs and six
hits in five-plus innings.
Tampa Bay has won nine
of its last 12.
n Astros 14, Rock-
ies 3: HOUSTON — Yuli
Gurriel drove in a team
record-tying eight runs,
Gerrit Cole won his 10th
straight decision and
Houston routed Colorado.
Gurriel hit a three-
run homer in the first in-
ning, a sacrifice fly in the
third, a three-run double
in the fourth and an RBI
grounder in the sixth. He
tied Houston’s RBI record
set by J.R. Towles in 2007
against St. Louis.
Cole (14-5) struck out
10 in six innings. He al-
lowed three hits and two
runs to make Houston’s
starters 16-1 in their last
19 starts.
The Astros swept the
four-game interleague
season series from Colo-
rado. Trevor Story hit his
26th homer and Nolan
Arenado added his 25th
for the Rockies, who lost
for the fifth time in seven
games.
n Brewers 8, Pi-
rates 3: PIT TSBURGH
— Keston Hiura hit two
home runs and drove in
three runs, powering Mil-
waukee to a three-game
sweep of Pittsburgh.
Hiura hit a two-run ho-
mer with two out in the
first inning and his sec-
ond homer, the 13th of his
rookie season, was a solo
shot in the fifth. He also
had a double in the third
inning for the Brewers,
who moved past the St.
Louis Cardinals and into
second place in the NL
Central.
The Pirates fell to 4-21
since the All-Star break.
Junior Guerra (5-3)
picked up a second win
in as many nights. He
allowed one hit and one
walk in two innings in re-
lief of Drew Pomeranz.
Williams (4-5) allowed
six runs on eight hits in
five innings.
n Cubs 10, Athletics
1: CHICAGO — Ian Happ
hit his second career
grand slam, José Quin-
tana tossed two-hit ball
through seven innings to
win his sixth straight and
Chicago routed Oakland.
Kyle Schwarber hit a
three-run homer, Victor
Caratini connected and
Javier Báez kept up his
latest hot streak with two
hits and two RBIs for the
Cubs. NL Central-leading
Chicago took two of three
from the A’s and won its
fifth in six games.
Quintana (10-7) al-
lowed one run, struck out
seven and walked one.
David Phelps and Pedro
Strop each followed with
a scoreless inning to wrap
up a three-hitter.
A’s starter Homer Bai-
ley (9-8) set down nine of
the first 10 hitters before
Chicago scored five runs
in the fourth. The right-
hander yielded seven
runs in 4 2/3 innings in
his fifth start since arriv-
ing in a arriving in a trade
from Kansas City on July
14.
n Mariners 3, Pa-
dres 2:
SEAT TLE — Mallex
Smith doubled leading
off the eighth inning and
scored when Daniel Vo-
gelbach beat out a poten-
tial inning-ending double
play, and Seattle snapped
a five-game losing streak.
Smith led off the eighth
with a sinking liner that
Wil Myers couldn’t con-
trol on a diving attempt.
Smith advanced to sec-
ond when the ball slipped
from Myers’ hand on the
throw and was credited
with a double. J.P. Craw-
ford bunted and catcher
Austin Hedges appeared
to throw out Smith at
third base, only to have
the call overturned on re-

Andres Munoz (0-1)
struck out Domingo San-
tana before Vogelbach
hit a slow chopper to
shortstop Fernando Ta-
tis Jr. Tatis had no play at
home plate to get Smith
and instead tried to turn
a double play. Vogelbach
shuffled down the line
and beat the relay throw,
allowing the go-ahead
run to score.
Anthony Bass pitched
the ninth for his second
save and capped four sol-
id innings from Seattle’s
bullpen. Matt Magill (3-
0) pitched the eighth to
get the win.

Game: CLEVELAND —
José Ramírez homered,
Cleveland’s bullpen com-
bined on a four-hitter and
the Indians swept a dou-
bleheader against Texas.
Ramírez’s two-run ho-
mer helped the Indians
win the opener 2-0.
He connected in the
second inning of the sec-
ond game off Lance Lynn
(14-7), Franmil Reyes hit
a sacrifice fly in the sev-

Yasiel Puig and Jason Kip-

eighth as the Indians im-

4 — baseball’s best mark
over two months.
A.J. Cole (3-1) — Cleve-
land’s third pitcher — got
the win by working 2 2/3
scoreless innings. Nick
Wittgren got the final five
outs for his third save.
In the opener, Ramírez
connected off Ariel Jura-

the Indians on two singles
before allowing the third
baseman’s 15th homer.

CO — Gerardo Parra hit a
three-run homer against
his former team, Joe Ross
pitched six shutout in-
nings of three-hit ball and
Washington completed a
three-game sweep of San
Francisco.
Parra broke camp with
the Giants but was desig-
nated for assignment on
May 3. His seventh homer
came in the third inning
off Shaun Anderson (3-4)
and made it 4-0.
Ross (2-3) struck out
five and walked two in his
third start of the season.
The Giants have lost
four straight games and
seven of their last eight.
They scored in the ninth
on Brandon Crawford’s
RBI double off Daniel
Hudson after Tanner
Rainey and Wander Suero
combined for two score-
less innings.
Anderson gave up four
runs on four hits and
three walks in three in-

Moorehead also said there was no up-
date on South Alabama transfer Corliss
Waitman. Waitman previously had his
waiver for a sixth-year of eligibility de-
nied by the NCAA.
Zuber finding his footing
While Stevens stole the offseason
headlines, Kansas State transfer Isaiah
Zuber figures to make a major impact
on a receiving corps that lacks standout
talent.
Zuber showed flashes of brilliance
as a receiver and kick returner for the
Wildcats and should play a varied role at
MSU.
Moorhead explained his system is de-
signed for receivers to understand each
spot on the field, and thus lends itself to
a dynamic talent like Zuber once he has
a firmer grasp on the offense.
“I think when you go back and look at
his stuff at Kansas State he played a vari-
ety of positions — the slot, both outside
positions,” he said. “So more than any-
thing it’s formations, it’s language, some
of the things that we do in the pass game
that are route adjustment oriented.”

them from building on
their 6-0 lead.
“It did buy us a little bit
more time and some more
pitches and some more
innings,” Twins manager
Rocco Baldelli said.
Sanó hit a three-run ho-
mer in a four-run ninth for
the Twins, who now have
five 20-home run hitters
to take into their critical
four-game series against
Cleveland this weekend.
The Indians won the first
game of their doublehead-
er on Wednesday to trim
the lead in the AL Central
race to 2½ games, enter-
ing the evening.
“They’re a really good
team. I think we’re a bet-
ter team,” center fielder
Jake Cave said. “So we get
to play them a lot, but this
one in particular is big.”
Albies and Freeman
gave the Braves their 12th
set of back-to-back hom-
ers this season, a fran-
chise record and the most
in the majors in 2019. The
top three spots in the
lineup have produced 81
home runs this season,
the most in the NL. Albies
had his third multi-homer
game of the year, but en-
tering the game he had
only one home run in his
previous 114 at-bats.
“I’m just so proud of
what he’s done this year
and where he’s come, how
much he’s grown and ma-
tured,” Snitker said.
Pérez (8-5) worked six
innings to save the bull-
pen, but this latest dud
means he might be head-
ed there himself when
Michael Pineda is ready
to return from the injured
list. Rookie Devin Smelt-
zer, who is scheduled to
start on Friday night in
Pineda’s place, pitched six
shutout innings in his last
turn. Pérez fell to 0-2 with
a 6.67 ERA and 11 home
runs allowed in his last
five starts. He only sur-
rendered seven homers in
his first 18 appearances of
the season.
The ugly third inning
that was salvaged by the
triple play featured two
walks, a passed ball on
catcher Mitch Garver and
a dropped throw for an er-
ror on Cron. The weekly
severe weather siren test
fittingly occurred during
that inning, perhaps a
symbolic warning to the
Twins to pick up their play
before the Indians arrive.
“Bad day,” Pérez said.
“I’ve just got to stay fo-
cused and stay strong.”

NFL

Saints preseason opener brings big snaps for center hopefuls

By BRET T MARTEL
The Associated Press
METAIRIE, La. — Saints
coach Sean Payton stopped
short of declaring top draft
choice Erik McCoy the starting
center in the preseason opener.
Yet, if recent practices are
any indication, the 6-foot-4,
315-pound rookie out of Tex-
as A&M has as good a chance
as anyone to open the season
snapping the ball to 40-year-
old, record-setting quarter-
back Drew Brees.
“We have seen a lot of good
things. I like how he has picked
things up,” Payton of McCoy
said after a recent practice in
training camp. “He is strong
inside. I think each day you see
progress.”
The Saints, who did not have
a first-round draft pick this
year, traded up in the second
round to select McCoy 48th
overall , placing him in line to
compete for the position vacat-
ed by the retirement of three-
time Pro Bowl center Max Un-
ger.
New Orleans also signed
veteran free agent Nick Easton
to compete for that spot. Young
interior lineman Cameron Tom
is getting a look, too. But in the
past week, McCoy has gotten
the most work with the first
team.
“At some point we’ll list
who’s going to start, but we’re
going to see those guys all
play,” Payton said Wednesday.
Saints offensive line coach
Dan Roushar describes Mc-
Coy as “a power player” who is
“stout at the point of attack.”
“He’s learning to be bet-
ter laterally with his range,”
Roushar added. “The speed of
the game is much different for
him ... but he’s learning a lot.”
Roushar said seeing McCoy
play a preseason game will
provide Saints coaches with
“a much better feel of what’s
exposed right now fundamen-
tally, but he’s doing a good job
overall.”
Easton, a former Minneso-
ta starter, is the most experi-
enced of the candidates, but is
also trying to come back from
a neck injury that cost him all
of last season. His contract is
worth up to $22.5 million over
four years, but if he does not
win the starting job, the Saints
will have to decide if it’s worth
keeping him around as a re-
serve interior lineman at that
same salary.
“I’m here to help — whatev-
er they need me to do,” Easton
said after Wednesday’s prac-
tice. “Obviously, you’ve got to
go out and play well, and if you
play to the best of your ability,
everything’s going to take care
of itself.”
Payton has expressed confi-
dence in Easton’s ability to also
play guard. But at that spot
there is competition from Will
Clapp, a 2018 seventh-round
draft choice out of LSU who
comes a lot cheaper right now.
Tom is entering his third
NFL season — all with the
Saints, who signed the 6-4,
300-pound lineman as an un-
drafted rookie out of Southern
Mississippi.
“He’s stronger right now. I
think he’s carrying his weight
better. He’s in the mix inside,”
Payton said of Tom, who is get-
ting snaps at both center and
guard. “He’s competing. I’ve
been encouraged. He’s smart.”
McCoy said his biggest ad-
justment, “by far,” has been
learning the technique NFL
coaches expect him to master
by September.
The fact McCoy was a cap-
tain at A&M enhanced his
value to the Saints. Centers
are routinely responsible for
reading defensive alignments
and calling out final blocking
assignments to fellow linemen
just before the snap.

DEAR RIGHT TIME: When

have to pay child support. In
a few years, I will be too old
to pay alimony. However, even
then, because where we live
is so expensive, I would likely
have to move out of state.
I don’t want to move out of

DEAR UNSURE: Before
making any decisions based
