A trainer checked him and had Judge do some hand exercises. Judge, who was the DH, stayed in the game and got an infield single the next time up. But after Minnesota 2, Boston 1 7:10 p.m. having trouble swinging in the indoor batting cage, he was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fourth.

SPEED BUMP Dave Coverly AGNES Tony Cochran RUBES Leigh Rubin

ARCHIE Fernando Ruiz and Craig Boldman

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 28, 2018: This year you have the rare opportunity to be able to make a major life change if you so choose. You will see new openings for the first time. The possibility of change allows you to look at your life more realisti- cally. If you are single, you might meet someone adventurous. This relationship DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker could be very exciting, though volatile at times. If you are attached, the two of you go back and forth about who gets what they want. Be open to trying different styles and approaches. AQUARIUS encourages you to be more bohemian. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your friends could overwhelm you with their ideas, plans and other attention-getting schemes. Be flattered rather than annoyed. No matter what you choose SCARY GARY Mark Buford to do, you will feel on top of your game. You also will feel unusually appreciated. Tonight: Where your friends are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You take your place in the lime- light, even if you are just going to the gro- cery store. All eyes turn to you. You have a unique magnetism that seems to attract others. A partner might be a little more assertive than usual. Tonight: Make the next few hours memorable for everyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHHHH You could be full of energy and able to distance yourself from all the vola- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni tile energy around you. You might decide to keep your opinions to yourself, as you see what types of reactions others are receiving by simply expressing a thought. Tonight: Go for what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might find that one special person in your life has a way of understanding what is going on with you. Express your caring and appreciation to this person in a way so that your message will be heard. You do not have to announce your plans. Tonight: Among the crowds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You cannot hold back, even if B.C. Mastroianni and Hart you promised yourself you would. A partner or loved one is effusive in his or her self- expression. You might not always be com- fortable with this person’s overwhelming expressions of affection. Throw yourself into the moment. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could focus on a key matter or detail that affects your life. Others might not know what’s going on in your head, as you likely will choose to keep things to yourself. Do something just for you, whether you schedule a massage or get your hair cut. Tonight: Whatever feels right. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be in a situation where ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie you choose to head in a new direction. You could laugh and enjoy yourself with a child. Why not ask this person what he or she would like to do today? Be ready, as the request might not be simple or cheap. Tonight: Choose a favorite activity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your positive attitude helps a family member who might be very moody or somewhat blue. Give this person the flexi- bility he or she desires. A must appearance could cause a problem for you. Your prefer- ence might be to be somewhere else. Tonight: Throw a spontaneous party. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You reveal more of what has been ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett on your mind. In a sense, not expressing your thoughts could be viewed as manipu- lative. You might want to try to let go and invite a loved one for a fun day out to participate in a hobby you both love. Tonight: Let the fun go on till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Before you say “yes,” think about what is being proposed. It could be a lot of fun, but who is going to have to pay for the majority of the happening? Ultimately, you Cryptoquip could be resentful if you don’t feel that the financial agreement is appropriate. Tonight: You have a lot going for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be quite content with ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe what is happening around you. Consider what might be needed in order to change direction, if you are uncomfortable. What is occurring with the lunar eclipse in your sign might force you to redefine your relationship needs. Tonight: In the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Observe what is happening around you. Consider opportunities that might come from all this activity. Continue to play a low-key role, and understand what others are going through. You also might be uncomfortable in some way. Speak about it. Tonight: Allow the party to go on.
