  With the presidency on the line in battlegrounds like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Donald Trump spent Saturday night in Riverside County in solidly liberal California, seeking to link Vice President Kamala Harris to what he described as the failures of her home state.

Utley was suspended for the next two games in New York. MLB implemented new slide rules prohibiting the kind of rolling takeout slide that injured Tejada – know
