May 3—Year 70 of ALAH High School's senior trip to the East Coast involves a new twist.
Some 54 high school students and five adults will leave Arthur at 5 a.m. today so they can make it to Pittsburgh in time to catch the Pirates and the Padres at PNC Park. Afterward, they'll zip over to nearby Duquesne Incline, spend the night at a hotel and travel to the Flight 93 Memorial on Sunday morning. They'll reach their destination — Washington, D.C. — around lunchtime.
"Any time we can get our students to a new city and a new experience, it's awesome," ALAH Principal Steffanie Seegmiller said.
The annual trip is a big deal for the students, who have been fundraising since junior high and benefit from "phenomenal community support," Steegmiller said. They'll be in D.C. through Wednesday, visiting everything from the U.S. Capitol to the Holocaust Memorial Museum to the Supreme Court. "Some day when a big decision comes down, they'll be able to say 'I was there. I know what it looks like,' " Seegmiller said.
Another highlight: Each senior writes a letter to a veteran whose name is on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. "We drop those off when we visit the memorial," Seegmiller said. "Many of the students sketch their soldier's name to take it back with them. To be honest, it is pretty emotional."

Last Night in Baseball: Paul Skenes bests Phillies, looks like Paul Skenes again
There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves. That's why we're here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days' games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from the weekend in Major League Baseball : Skenes dominates, Pirates sweep Paul Skenes' ERA kept dropping in May, but there were some potentially concerning signs left behind in those early starts. He was uncharacteristically struggling with his command and control, such as when he gave up three home runs to the Cubs on May 1 while walking four, or gave up another four free passes to the Cardinals in his next start, or the three walks allowed to the Mets in the one after that. You don't really like to think about what a sudden loss of command for a flamethrowing starting pitcher means, especially one as precise with their location as Skenes has been in his young careere, but it was hard to not start to wonder if something alarming was happening. Such is the way of modern baseball and max-effort velocity. Whatever was bothering Skenes, though, be it physical or mechanical, seems to be in the rear view, as the Phillies just got a reminder of on Sunday. In a performance that secured the sweep for the Pirates, Skenes went 7.2 innings with seven strikeouts against one walk, while allowing just one unearned run and a pair of hits. His ERA now stands at 1.88, even lower than last year's absurd 1.96 rookie-season performance, and, over his last five starts — meaning the five since that troubling run of command and control issues — Skenes has posted a 0.74 ERA with 39 strikeouts in 36.1 innings, and against all of five walks. He's also just allowed the one homer in that stretch. That performance has brought him all of a 3-2 record to show for it, because this is still the Pirates we're talking about — they've scored 3.6 runs per start for him over those five, and that's with one of them being a 10-run effort — but hey, it's at least headed in the right direction. Sort of. The Pirates are lucky they've got a guy who can win a 2-1 game, is all, but maybe the bats could stand to be a little less withholding when their guy is on the mound, hmm? Just because he can win in those situations doesn't mean he should have to do so almost exclusively. As for the Phillies… it hasn't been a great June. The Brewers completed a weekend sweep on the first of the month, then they lost two of three to the Blue Jays — including a walk-off loss on Wednesday — and now they were swept by the lowly Pirates, a team still on pace for 98 losses despite sweeping the Phils and having literally Paul Skenes in their rotation. The Phillies are now 4.5 games back of the Mets in the NL East, even though they were in first place on May 31, and have spent 36 days in that spot this year. Raleigh extends home run lead Cal Raleigh didn't play on Sunday — hey, he's a catcher, even Big Dumper needs a day off sometimes — but on Saturday, he went yard twice . He's now up to .272/.380/.655 on the season, with an MLB-leading 26 homers: that's three more than Aaron Judge, who sits in second place and is ranked that highly because he also went deep twice over the weekend, with a pair of homers against the Red Sox on Sunday. Despite Raleigh driving in four runs on his own with those dingers, the Mariners would fall to the Angels, 8-6, their fifth loss in a row. While we're on the subject… Kirby's Return to Dream Land George Kirby's 2025 hadn't been going that well. He didn't even make his debut until May 22, owing to shoulder inflammation that forced him to the Injured List to begin the season, and then, in his first two starts, he looked an awful lot like a guy who was debuting late after coming off of an injury: Kirby allowed 11 runs in 8.2 innings, while allowing three homers. In Kirby's third start of the year, he recaptured a bit of the old magic, going five innings against the Orioles while allowing two runs. The Mariners lost, but that wasn't on him, at least, like in the previous two outings. Sunday, though, was when everything came together again for Kirby: seven innings, two runs allowed, no walks, a pair of hits, and 14 strikeouts. It ended a skid for both Kirby and the Mariners, who as said above had lost five in a row and were in line to be swept by the Angels. Now, Kirby isn't usually this kind of strikeout guy, but it's still a great sign for his return to prominence. He's been a durable and reliable starter for a few years now, one who succeeds largely on keeping the ball in the park often enough while limiting walks to league-leading rates — Kirby gave up just 0.9 walks per nine innings in 2023, across over 190 frames, and then led the league again at just 1.1 per nine in 2024. The strikeouts are there — Kirby's at 8.6 of those per nine in his career — but it's keeping baserunners to a minimum and allowing solo shots that allows him to be an above-average rotation arm for the Mariners. The kind they'll need around if they're to keep competing for supremacy in the AL West. Alonso makes Mets history in Mets sweep Pete Alonso's Sunday helped the Mets sweep the Rockies — Colorado followed up a surprise sweep of the Marlins last week by being handed three Ls in a row against New York — and also moved him up their history books. Alonso's first homer of the day tied him for second all-time on the Mets list with David Wright, and his second gave him sole possession. Alonso is just nine long balls away from tying Daryl Strawberry for first place on this list, as well: given that it's June 9 and the Mets' first baseman already has 17 dingers on the year, and he's hit at least 34 in every full, non-pandemic-shortened season he's played in the majors, we're likely to see him climb to the top of the leaderboard before too much longer. Whether Alonso puts some serious distance between himself and New York's past is going to depend entirely on whether he ends up signing a long-term deal or not this offseason – Alonso has a $24 million player option in 2026, the second and final year of the deal he signed this winter – but you'd have to imagine the Mets are more open to his contract demands now than they were in the offseason. Assuming he can keep hitting like he has been, anyway: Alonso is up to .301/.396/.594 on the year, which would all be career-highs. The Braves are scuffling, but Acuña is not The Braves are still having a rough 2025, and that hasn't changed all that much since Ronald Acuña Jr. returned from his second ACL surgery back on May 23: they're now 27-37 on the season, 9.5 out from a wild card spot, and have now lost seven games in a row.. However, none of that is Acuña's doing: he's batting .304/.391/.554 with four homers and a 163 OPS+ in the 15 games since he's come back from injury, and he even flashed a bit of leather in the outfield on Sunday against the Giants. The diving catch itself is a highlight, but that Acuña immediately rolls back into position so he can hold the runners on second and first base where they were to keep them from advancing is a nifty bonus. There's still a lot of talent on this team, and if Acuña can keep it rolling, maybe they'll be able to turn things around before it's too late. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Dodgers Dugout: Breaking down the next opponent, the San Diego Padres
Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell. The Dodgers head to San Diego for a three-game series with the Padres starting tonight. Whichever team wins the season series will have an advantage when it comes to winning the division, plus it also will give them the tiebreaker advantage should the teams tie. These are the first three of 13 games against the Padres this season, so let's take a look at them. You can see all the stats on the Padres team page at CatcherElías Díaz (.224/.288/.321, 71 OPS+)Martín Maldonado (.174/.203/.267, 32 OPS+) Neither one of these guys can hit, but are solid defensively. Maldonado won a Gold Glove way back in 2017 with the Angels. However, it's players such as these two, guys who have trouble hitting, who seem to come up big against the Dodgers, dating all the way back to Brian Doyle and the 1978 World Series. Bonus facts: Díaz was named minor league catcher of the year by Baseball America in 2015. On April 18, 2014 against Pittsburgh, Maldonado hit a grounder to third. Pirates third baseman Pedro Álvarez fielded the grounder, but the cover had partially come off the baseball and was hanging off its side; Álvarez threw the ball to first but it fell apart in midair. So, Maldonado is one guy who can say he literally knocked the cover off the ball. First baseLuis Arráez (.276/.310/.397, 97 OPS+) Arráez has won three straight batting titles (2022 with Minnesota, 2023 with Miami, 2024 with the Marlins and Padres). You'll notice that despite this, he has played for three different teams. The reason is he draws no walks, has little power, and it is believed his glove is made out of cast iron. Winning three straight batting titles is nothing to sneeze at, but that's all he brings to the table. Bonus fact: In June 2023, Arráez had three five-hit games, tying the record for most five-hit games in a month held by Ty Cobb, George Sisler and Dave Winfield. Second baseJake Cronenworth (.242/.373/.403, 119 OPS+) Cronenworth is having a rebound season at the plate after a couple of off seasons, and he has always been solid with the glove. Guys such as Cronenworth usually don't get the headlines, but help you win ballgames in ways that don't always show up in the box score. Bonus fact: He hit his first career home run in 2020 off of Dustin May. Third baseManny Machado (.318/.382/.515, 150 OPS+) While, as Yogi Berra once said, 'Nobody likes Manny Machado,' the fact remains that he is a great player. Outstanding hitter, outstanding on defense. Bonus facts: Machado has a dog named Kobe, named in honor of Kobe Bryant. Baltimore Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer once said of Machado: 'He reminds me of how I think Cal Ripken Jr. would have been if he had played third base his entire career.' ShortstopXander Bogaerts (.236/.321/.324, 83 OPS+) All the power in Bogaerts' bat disappeared two years ago and hasn't come back. He has a career .447 slugging percentage, but he hasn't cracked .400 in a season since 2023. Bonus fact: Bogaerts is one of only six players in major league history to be born in Aruba. The elementary school he went to there is now named after him. Left fieldTyler Wade (.235/.326/.272, 71 OPS+)Brandon Lockridge (.224/.272/.276, 55 OPS+) Left field has been a black hole offensively for the Padres, much as it has been for the Dodgers. Jason Heyward has the most starts in left, but he's on the IL. And he wasn't hitting either. This is a prime example for when we discuss the fact that the Dodgers aren't the only good team with holes in the lineup, Bonus facts: Wade played 67 games for the Angels in 2021. Lockridge made his major league debut on my birthday, which is probably a bonus fact only interesting to me. Center fieldJackson Merrill (.299/.352/.461, 123 OPS+) Last season, Merrill finished second in rookie of the year voting, ninth in MVP voting, was an All-Star and won the Silver Slugger award. Pretty decent first year, I'd say. He's back for more of the same this season, hitting better than he did last year. He's also good with the glove. Bonus fact: Merrill is the first rookie in Padres history to make the All-Star team. Right fieldFernando Tatis Jr. (.259/.332/.461, 120 OPS+) Still one of the top players in the game, however, his numbers at the plate have declined since his return from an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs in 2022. His OPS+ in the three seasons before: 154, 156, 166. Three seasons after: 110, 130, 120. Won a Gold Glove in 2023. Bonus fact: In 2021, Tatis became the youngest player to appear on the cover of the 'MLB: The Show' video game. Designated hitterGavin Sheets (.250/.307/.460, 112 OPS+) Sheets is second on the team in home runs (11) and leads the Padres in RBIs with 38. He sometimes plays first base, with Arráez moving to DH. Starting pitchingWe will focus on the three pitchers scheduled to start against the Dodgers. Nick Pivetta (6-2, 3.16 ERA, 127 ERA+)Dylan Cease (1-5, 4.72 ERA, 85 ERA+)Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.69 ERA, 109 ERA+) Pivetta signed a four-year, $55-million deal in the offseason and has earned every penny so far, striking out 76 in 68 1/3 innings while giving up 51 hits and 19 walks. He spent the previous five seasons with the Red Sox. Cease is the nominal ace on the team, but hasn't pitched like one. He finished fourth in Cy Young voting last season. He has pitched into some bad luck, as his Fielding Independent Pitching ERA is 3.20. Vásquez has a good ERA, but his FIP is 5.34, meaning he has had some good luck. Traditionally, this means you can expect his ERA to go up, and Cease's to go down as the season wears on. FIP is heavily used by GM's and members of a front office's brain trust to determine how well a pitcher is really performing, so it's a good stat to know. Click on the link above to be taken to a full explanation of it. Bonus facts: Cease's paternal grandmother, Betty Cease, played pro baseball in the 1940s..... Pivetta made his major league debut in 2017 against the Dodgers.... Vásquez was included in the package the Yankees sent to the Padres to acquire Juan Soto before the 2024 season. CloserRobert Suarez (1-1, 1.84 ERA, 21 saves) Suarez leads the majors with 21 saves, has blown only two saves and has allowed zero of five inherited runners to score. Bonus fact: Suarez is a two-time Japan Series champion. The Dodgers have 14 pitchers on the IL, the Padres have five. Which is one reason for this: Rotation ERASan Diego, 3.80Dodgers, 4.29 Bullpen ERASan Diego, 3.08Dodgers, 3.94 The Dodgers outhit the Padres (5.54 runs per game to 4.10), but the Padres outpitch the Dodgers. Which side will win out in these three games? In the season? We'll find out. It will be fun to watch. Who are your top 10 Dodgers catchers of all time (including Brooklyn)? Email your list to top10catchers@ and let me know. Many of you have asked for a list of catchers to be considered. Here are the 40 strongest candidates, in alphabetical order. Rod Barajas, Austin Barnes, Roy Campanella, Gary Carter, Con Daily, Rick Dempsey, Bruce Edwards, A.J. Ellis, Tex Erwin, Duke Farrell, Joe Ferguson, Jack Fimple, Yasmani Grandal, John Grim, Tom Haller, Todd Hundley, Charles Johnson, Chad Kreuter, Ernie Krueger, Paul Lo Duca, Al López, Russell Martin, Lew McCarty, Deacon McGuire, Jack Meyers, Johnny Oates, Mickey Owen, Babe Phelps, Mike Piazza, Joe Pignatano, Tom Prince, John Roseboro, David Ross, Mike Scioscia, Norm Sherry, Duke Sims, Will Smith, Zack Taylor, Jeff Torborg, Álex Treviño, Steve Yeager. Dalton Rushing was brought up because Austin Barnes could no longer hit and was not as good as he used to be behind the plate. Rushing went two for four in his first game and two for five in his second, and it looked like they were going to have to find a way to get his bat in the lineup more often. Since then, he has gone three for 24 with 16 strikeouts. The league always adjusts to new batters. The question now is: Can Rushing adjust back? The Dodgers also have a I'm all for giving established players a chance. It worked for Max Muncy. However, I just want to throw this out there: It's time for Hyeseong Kim to play more, and Michael Conforto to play less. That concludes today's lecture. Tony Gonsolin has been put on the IL with tenderness in his pitching elbow. The good news is an MRI scan showed no structural damage. But that just adds a new name to the list of pitchers on the IL: Luis GarcíaTyler GlasnowTony GonsolinBrusdar GraterolMichael GroveEdgardo HenriquezKyle HurtEvan PhillipsRiver RyanRoki SasakiEmmet SheehanBlake SnellGavin StoneBlake Treinen The good news is Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates have come off the IL and pitched Sunday. That should be of enormous help to the bullpen. But I believe the starting rotations right now is: Yoshinobu YamamotoDustin MayClayton KershawOne of those cardboard cutouts from the 2020 season89-year-old Sandy Koufax The Dodgers need to get Glasnow and Snell healthy or the staff will be in tatters by the time the postseason rolls around.
