Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 The Milwaukee Brewers will again try to finish things off in St. Petersburg tonight as the World Series moves into Game 5.
🔮 The team could also break a four-way tie for the most consecutive postseason wins (with the 2019 Nationals, 2014 Royals, 2005 White Sox and 2004 Red Sox).
🔮 If it was unsafe, then I’m sure we wouldn’t be here.
🔮 Soundcore does have an app for pairing, but it’s user-friendly and you may find yourself not really needing it thanks to one specific design feature that we’ll get to soon.
🔮 A tester remarked she “walked through a block party” wearing the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 and “maybe heard one voice.”
🔮 A bad pillow will almost certainly lead to bad sleep, and life is too short for that.
🔮 The series will continue to air weekly on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
🔮 The Giants will have their unbeaten streak tested again today by a slightly-favored 1-4 New Orleans Saints squad.
