Elder fraud is a huge problem, and Monday’s study doesn’t mean that people who fall prey to a con artist have some sort of dementia brewing. But scientists know that long before the memory problems of Alzheimer’s become obvious, people experience more subtle changes in their thinking and judgment. Neuropsychologist Patricia Boyle of Rush University’s Alzheimer’s disease center wondered if one of the warning signs might be the type of judgment missteps that can leave someone susceptible to scams.

He was smooth, man,” Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts said. “Obviously behind the dish he’s pretty smooth, so I didn’t think we would have a problem with him back there.” Unique Gift? Orioles rookie manager Brandon Hyde got his first ejection, tossed by crew chief Mark Wegner after his challenge on the “slide rule” at second base was upheld. Hyde said he knew he was going to get thrown out. “To me, they just made a wrong decision,” Hyde said. “I didn’t agree with the decision in New York at all.” Spot starter Hector Velázquez (0-1) gave up a run in three innings. MOOKIE MAD Reigning AL MVP Mookie Betts was 0 for 3 and let his batting average drop to .222. He criticized himself harshly after the game, taking his share of the blame for Boston’s surprising 6-11 start after last year’s World Series championship. “Basically, what I’m doing is unacceptable,” Betts said. “I have to figure out a way to get something done and help the team.” TRAINER’S ROOM Orioles: Smith was back in the lineup after not starting Sunday with a sore right leg.
