Duckworth, D-Ill., arrived in Taiwan with Sens. Chris Coons, D-Del., and Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, as part of a larger trip to the region. Although the United States has no formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, a self-governing democracy, it is the island’s most important ally and its main weapons provider.

“You try to take the ball every five days and go as long as you can and help the team,” Lynn said. “When you leave, you gave your team a chance to win that day. That’s always been my motto since, heck, as long as I can remember, even back when I was a little kid: Do everything you can and leave it all out there and help your team that day.”

Reyna scored his third international goal when Pulisic’s corner kick was headed by McKennie off the far post and bounded in front of the goal, where Reyna kicked it in from about 4 yards with his left foot.

Her floor exercise, the one that includes two elements already named after her in the sport’s Code of Points, was far more precise than it was on Friday. She was well in bounds on all but one of her tumbling passes and her 14.950 included a 6.8 D-score, which ranks the difficulty of the routine, tied for the highest by any athlete on any event at the meet.
“Incredible,” center fielder Ian Happ said. “He hits a homer every time. I was on base for that second one, and as soon as he hit it, I was like, ‘Yep, there’s another one.’ He’s got seven pumps already, and he hasn’t been here that long.
“It’s beyond sacred,” La Russa said of Mack’s mark. “Unattainable. I didn’t even think this was attainable, actually. I’m talking about the last four, five years of my career. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen. Even the year I retired, my family was very upset because they wanted this to happen. But you go out when you think you’re done.
“Anytime you get to make a play for your pitcher, it’s a special play,” Engel said. “As a defender, that’s our job to go out there and make your pitcher feel comfortable. Let him know if he does his job and throws strikes, we are going to do our job and play good defense behind him.”
On Saturday night, a 34-year-old man was driving his Audi in the 200 block of North LaSalle Street when a white sedan bumped him from behind shortly before 9 p.m., police said. The 34-year-old pulled over and got out of his car to exchange information, and then a man left the passenger seat of the sedan and pointed a gun at him, according to police. The gunman demanded the driver’s keys, which he handed over, and told the others in the Audi to get out. He then fled in the Audi, along with the driver of the sedan, police said.
