MILWAUKEE (AP) — Scoring isn’t a problem for the Milwaukee Brewers anymore.William Contreras homered and doubled, Sal Frelick drove in three runs and the Milwaukee Brewers capitalized on San Diego’s control problems to beat the Padres 10-6 on Sunday for their eighth consecutive victory. The Brewers have scored at least five runs in each game during this win streak and had at least six runs in all but one of them.

We’re walking. We’re hitting for power. We’re just getting on base and also cashing in runs with runners in scoring position. We’re just kind of ‘offense-ing.’ “Milwaukee’s seven-run sixth inning matched its most productive inning this season and helped the Brewers erase an early 4-1 defi...

Trump has been arrested four times since he left office and declined to participate in his party’s first debate, but Republican voters seem to know who they want, and it’s Trump, according to another round of polls.After skipping the party debate Wednesday evening and despite his arrest by authorities in Georgia on Thursday, recent polling and fundraising indicate that Trump continues to maintain his grip on the GOP.According to Trump’s campaign, on the Friday following his surrender to authorities in Fulton County the 45th president had his best fundraising day of the 2024 campaign.
