Cori Bush Endorsed By Michael Brown’s Family Decade After His Death: ‘My Brother Deserved Justice’
Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) has received an endorsement from the family of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old whose 2014 shooting by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer ignited nationwide protests and demands for racial justice.

Cardinals Notes: Edman, Brebbia, Matz, Kloffenstein
While the Cardinals are looking to buy at the deadline as they chase an NL wild card slot, the team could also pursue some strategic selling, as the Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya reports that the Dodgers have interest in Tommy Edman’s services. The versatile Edman could provide depth or even a starting role at multiple positions for an injury-riddled Dodgers team, and it be can argued that St. Louis already has enough position-player depth to make Edman expendable.

The Cardinals trailed 10-6 heading into the bottom of the 10th inning, so Goldschmidt’s thunderous swing still left his team two runs short of extending the game.

Cardinals parted with longtime reliever for the cheapest possible reason
The St. Louis Cardinals parted ways with Giovanny Gallegos, a member of the bullpen for the last seven years, in an embarrassing cost-cutting measure. Gallegos practically begged to stay in St. Louis on Saturday night but the Cardinals still sent him packing on Sunday. If it had been because of his objectively bad performances of late, it would have made plenty of sense. However, John Denton of MLB.com shed more light on the decision-making process and it's not encouraging.
