 Mills, the brother of Governor Mills, tried for the Blaine House himself in 2006 and 2010. He's 81 now and says his health played into his decision to step down from the turnpike job. In sports, the Red Sox were off. The Yankees lost again, this time 9-2 to Toronto, and that let the Baltimore Orioles catch up to them in the AL East. The Orioles beat Texas 11-2 yesterday. Portland Seadogs lost in Binghamton 8-0.
