There are openings in the Chicago White Sox rotation after trading Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn.Touki Toussaint stepped in Friday and allowed three hits in five innings to help the Sox to a 3-0 victory against the Cleveland Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field.Toussaint struck out four and walked one while earning his first win of the season in his 83-pitch outing.“I just take it day by day because you just never know,” Toussaint said. “There’s a lot of moving parts right now and I’m just trying to stay one foot in front of the other.“I thought I threw the ball well. I attacked some hitters. Got behind some guys, got back in counts. Gave up some hits but limited the damage.”Friday marked Toussaint’s fourth start — and eighth appearance — since the Sox claimed the right-hander off waivers June 20. He has a 3.34 ERA in that span.Toussaint, Tanner Banks and Gregory Santos combined to hold the Guardians to six hits as the Sox sna...To wrap, or not to wrap? Hungarian bookstores face fines over closed packaging for LGBTQ+ books

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — In a snug, wood-paneled Jewish bookstore in Hungary’s capital, Eva Redai carefully climbed the rungs of a ladder to arrange titles on the shelves. Among the books were volumes bound in plastic wrapping — titles containing LGBTQ+ content that the country’s right-wing government has deemed unsuitable for minors under 18. The 76-year-old has run the Láng Téka bookstore in central Budapest for nearly 35 years, since just before Hungary’s democratic transition from state socialism. But never, until now, has she needed to segregate the books she sells to avoid violating a government ban. “I consider this such a level of discrimination. This law is an act of force that can hardly be made sense of,” Redai said. “As someone who’s been in this business for such a long time, even I cannot decide which books fall under the ban.” Hungary’s government under populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban has in recent years taken a hard line on LG...Single-family house sells for $2.2 million in San Jose

SANTA CLARA – Will the city of Santa Clara shake it off?On Friday, Taylor Swift’s concert at Levi’s Stadium ran past the venue’s 11 p.m. curfew. The ramifications were not immediately clear. She performed until 11:38 p.m.Curfews at Levi’s Stadium have been a source of controversy for years. But most of the fuss has centered on the 10 p.m. curfew in effect for weeknights, Sunday through Thursday.In 2017, Coldplay famously blew past the 10 p.m. curfew, which became a bone of contention between the city of Santa Clara and the 49ers, which manage the stadium. Team officials argued the 10 p.m. curfew was unreasonable. That same year, singer Ed Sheeran dropped Levi’s Stadium from his tour reportedly because of the 10 p.m. curfew.In 2021, the City Council voted 4-3 to allow weeknight curfew extensions until 11 p.m. for five non-NFL events a year. The curfew for Friday and Saturday events remained at 11 p.m.There have been no reports of the 11 p.m. Levi’s curfew being brok...Savannah DeMelo’s ability to speak Portuguese may help US in critical Women’s World Cup match

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — United States midfielder Savannah DeMelo can speak some Portuguese and may be able to put it to use in the Women’s World Cup.The U.S. plays Portugal on Tuesday to wrap up the tournament’s group stage, and a fter a disappointing 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, the Americans needs a win. At stake is both the top spot in Group E and also a much-needed boost to team confidence. That’s where DeMelo can help. The 25-year-old’s dad, Robert, is from Portugal and had a successful career as a player in that country before becoming a coach. DeMelo has dual citizenship and understands Portuguese. “I’ll definitely be listening for it,” she laughed.DeMelo made her first international start for the United States against Vietnam in the group opener, a 3-0 victory for the Americans.

MADRID (AP) — On a night in the middle of July, tenors, sopranos and a choir delighted the crowd in Madrid’s luxurious Teatro Real opera house with Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece, “Turandot.”After the curtain came down, the audience filed from their plush seats and left the theater’s state-of-the-art air conditioning for the summer swelter outside — only to be met again by the voices of Calaf and Princess Turandot.The performance they had just seen was being replayed on a giant television screen in the big square at the back of the theater.Here, the spectators sat on hundreds of plastic chairs. Many wore shorts and sandals. Others, tourists included, sat on the low walls and benches in the square or leaned on the barriers and the nearby subway station’s railings.Some chewed on rolls of Spanish jam, others played cards. But most were absorbed with the show on the 9- by 5-meter (30- by 16-foot) screen.The night was part of Teatro Real’s “opera week,” which for eight years has been prov...Women’s World Cup co-host New Zealand tries to avoid elimination in match against Switzerland

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand went from Women’s World Cup darlings to the brink of elimination in a five-day span and its shot at advancing into the knockout round hinges on its Sunday match against Switzerland. Switzerland sits comfortably atop Group A following a win over the Philippines and a draw against Norway, and anything but a loss to New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland would push La Nati through to the next round. New Zealand’s trek is far more perilous after the Football Ferns lost 1-0 to the Philippines, a tournament-newcomer. It was a massive letdown for New Zealand, which opened the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Norway that captivated its nation.New Zealand and the Philippines are tied for second in Group A headed into Sunday’s games that determine which two teams advance. The Philippines play Norway at the same time New Zealand tries to advance to the knockout round for the first time in tournament history.

SYDNEY (AP) — Colombia head coach Nelson Abadía said forward Linda Caicedo is healthy ahead of Sunday’s Women’s World Cup match against Germany despite a training session video showing her voluntarily dropping to the ground while holding her chest.“It was just an episode,” Abadía said Saturday. “It’s finished. It’s over. We’re happy about this. No problem.”Caicedo, an 18-year-old cancer survivor, scored in Colombia’s opening 2-0 win over South Korea last week and is among the best young players in the world.Asked to confirm that Caicedo will play Sunday, Abadía said: “We still have 24 hours to make a decision. But Linda is fine.”A win against Germany would guarantee Colombia a spot in the knockout round. If Colombia plays to a draw or loses to the two-time World Cup champions, the team’s fate would be unresolved until the last day of the group stage.Abadía said that Caicedo’s fall, shown in a video posted to social media on Thursday by Colombian media outlet DSPORTS, was due t...Latest news
