Brendan Donovan powers Cardinals past Orioles
May 29 - Brendan Donovan hammered a key two-run home run and Masyn Winn recorded four hits as the St. Louis Cardinals overcame the host Baltimore Orioles, winning 6-4 on Wednesday night to take the final two games of the three-game series.
Donovan finished with three hits and Lars Nootbaar added two hits as the Cardinals won for the fifth time in six games.
Jackson Holliday produced three hits, including a lead-off single in the ninth for the Orioles. Cedric Mullins, Dylan Carlson and Ryan Mountcastle had two hits for Baltimore, which has lost on back-to-back nights following a season-best three-game winning streak.
John King (2-0) was the winning pitcher with one inning of relief and Ryan Helsley picked up his 12th save by working the ninth despite allowing two singles. Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas gave up four runs on nine hits in four innings.
Cade Povich's start for Baltimore ended after 4 2/3 innings, yielding five runs and eight hits plus three walks despite striking out nine. The Orioles have lost their last four games started by Povich (1-4).
The combination of Nootbaar, Winn and Donovan atop the St. Louis batting order combined to go 9-for-15 at the plate.
The Orioles went up 1-0 in the second when Mullins' infield single resulted in a run when Mikolas made an errant throw. Baltimore tacked on another run when Maverick Handley, the next batter, grounded out as Ramon Urias crossed the plate before Holliday doubled in the third run.
Jordan Walker's two-out, two-run single in the fourth brought the Cardinals to within 3-2.
Carlson's RBI single in the bottom of the fourth against his former team stretched Baltimore's lead to 4-2.
Winn doubled in a run in the fifth and, before the Orioles recorded an out, St. Louis went ahead on Donovan's two-run blast. It was Donovan's fourth homer of the season.
Ivan Herrera's double pushed the gap to 6-4 in the seventh.
The game's start was delayed 30 minutes because of rain.

ICE adopts new mission with potential impact on illegal immigrants
President Donald Trump has set immigration enforcement officials a lofty new target of conducting 3,000 arrests every single day in an ambitious effort to ramp up his deportation agenda. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the new goal is only temporary and the number of daily arrests expected under the Trump administration will continue to rise. 'Under President Trump's leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day,' Miller told Fox News' Sean Hannity. Trump's border czar Tom Homan (pictured) backed the ambitious new benchmark on Thursday morning, insisting: 'We've gotta increase these arrests and removals. The numbers are good, but I'm not satisfied. I haven't been satisfied all year long.' During Trump's first 100 days back in office, ICE officials arrested 66,463 illegal immigrants. More than 65,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Some 17,000 deportees had criminal convictions or charges ranging from driving under the influence to assault or weapons offenses. ICE has boasted removing gang members, murderers and child rapists. But the administration has faced significant pushback and legal hurdles with challenges to the legality of some of the deportation schemes, particularly those which saw foreign aliens sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison under the wartime Illegal Aliens Act. Other migrants have been banished to third party nations with little to no legal pathway to challenge their deportations. ICE deported 17,200 people in April alone - roughly 4,000 more than the number conducted in April 2024, under former president Joe Biden. There have been reports for months that Trump has been unsatisfied with the progress of agents on the ground, who have discovered that tracking down illegal migrants - particularly criminals - is more difficult and a slower process than they initially expected. Across the United States in immigration courts from New York to Seattle last week, Homeland Security officials began ramping up enforcement actions and carrying out mass arrests in an effort to boost their numbers. Three US immigration officials said government attorneys were given the order to start dismissing cases when they showed up for work Monday, knowing full well that federal agents would then have a free hand to arrest those same individuals as soon as they stepped out of the courtroom. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared losing their jobs.

AP PHOTOS: Cicadas swarm parts of US as the screaming insects emerge in Brood XIV's 17-year cycle
Another cicada invasion is here. The large Brood XIV, which emerges every 17 years, is making for a spectacular natural event as billions of periodical cicadas emerge across parts of the Eastern U.S., including in Georgia, southern Ohio, Kentucky, Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and Long Island, New York. When spring warms the soil to 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18 degrees Celsius), these cicada nymphs dig their way up to the surface after their long development period. On the right night, usually after a warm spring rain, near trees showing cicada pilot holes and chimneys, they will emerge — so many that they can be heard crunching through the grass to climb up trees, plants, people or any vertical surface. There is a forceful quality about it. Once they find footing, they begin the molting process. They shed their nymphal skin, emerging soft, vulnerable and pale yellow. They have two large red eyes on the sides of the head, three small, jewellike eyes called ocelli in the center, and gossamer wings. In a few hours, their bodies harden and darken, and they fly up to the treetops. Then the screaming begins — the loud buzzing, screaming sound males make when they are looking for a mate. It leaves ears ringing. Throughout this process, cicadas serve as a source of protein for both wildlife and humans. They survive by sheer numbers. After mating, females lay eggs in tree branches and die shortly after. The hatched tiny nymphs fall and burrow into the ground, and the cycle begins again. Cicadas are part of the magic of spring when the yellow and purple irises are blooming, and the green is new and vivid. The cicada show takes place in every light of the day and the dark of night. The pull is the power and beauty of nature and time. ___ This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.

Trump wins temporary reprieve as he fights against court block on tariffs
Good morning. The Trump administration is racing to halt a major blow to the president's sweeping tariffs after a US court ruled they 'exceed any authority granted to the president'. A US trade court ruled on Wednesday that the president's tariffs regime was illegal in a dramatic twist that could block Trump's controversial global trade policy. On Thursday, an appeals court agreed to a temporary pause in the decision pending an appeal hearing. The Trump administration is expected to take the case to the supreme court if it loses. On what basis did the judges rule the tariffs unlawful? The court's ruling stated that Trump's tariff orders 'exceed any authority granted to the president … to regulate importation by means of tariffs'. How are tariffs usually approved? Tariffs typically need to be approved by Congress but Trump has so far bypassed that requirement by claiming that the country's trade deficits amount to a national emergency. The carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel's war on Gaza will be greater than the annual planet-warming emissions of a hundred individual countries, exacerbating the global climate emergency on top of the huge civilian death toll, research reveals. A study shared exclusively with the Guardian found the long-term climate cost of destroying, clearing and rebuilding Gaza could top 31m tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). This is more than the combined 2023 annual greenhouse gases emitted by Costa Rica and Estonia, yet there is no obligation for states to report military emissions to the UN climate body. What about Hamas? Hamas bunker fuel and rockets account for about 3,000 tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of just 0.2% of the total direct conflict emissions, while 50% were generated by the supply and use of weapons, tanks and other ordnance by the Israeli military (IDF), the study found. Faizan Zaki's enthusiasm for spelling nearly got the better of him. Ultimately, his joyful approach made him the Scripps National Spelling Bee champion. The favorite entering the bee after his runner-up finish last year – during which he never misspelled a word in a conventional spelling round, only to lose a lightning-round tiebreaker that he didn't practice for – the shaggy-haired Faizan wore the burden of expectations lightly, sauntering to the microphone in a black hoodie and spelling his words with casual glee. Throughout last night's finals, the 13-year-old from Allen, Texas, looked like a champion in waiting. Then he nearly threw it away. But even a shocking moment of overconfidence on the word 'commelina' – instead of first asking common questions, such as definition, he let his showman's instincts take over and began 'K-A-M,' before realizing his error – couldn't prevent him from seizing the title of best speller in the English language. What word did he spell to win? His winning word was 'éclaircissement'. Faizan didn't ask a single question before spelling it correctly, and he pumped his fists and collapsed to the stage after saying the final letter. A vessel bearing human remains has been found nearly a year after the US Coast Guard suspended the search for a family of four missing after their boat capsized off Alaska, officials said. Sexual exploitation and domestic violence soared after the catastrophic Lahaina wildfire in 2023, new research has found. Doctors have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can predict which men with prostate cancer will benefit from the drug Abiraterone, which halves the risk of dying and has been described as a 'gamechanger' treatment. Russian forces have used North Korean weapons to terrorise entire cities, according to a report by UN members that reveals the extent of Moscow's dependence on the regime in Pyongyang. I took the job as the Guardian's Jerusalem correspondent in 2021, although I was reluctant about it, writes Bethan McKernan. I was happy living in Istanbul as the paper's Turkey and Middle East correspondent and the Jerusalem gig was notoriously thankless. Every single word published under my name would be forensically examined for signs of bias. In the end, I took the job – and now, four years later, I am leaving Jerusalem. I have learned a lot, and the experience has changed me. Almost 40% of glaciers in existence today are already doomed to melt due to climate-heating emissions from fossil fuels, a study has found. The loss will soar to 75% if global heating reaches the 2.7C rise for which the world is on track. The massive loss of glaciers would push up sea levels, endangering millions of people and driving mass migration, the researchers said. 'As a schoolboy in Canada, I was fascinated by the Guinness Book of Records,' Gary Duschl says. 'Little did I know then that in 1994 I would break a world record and feature in the book I adored as a young boy, all thanks to my childhood hobby – making paper chains out of chewing-gum wrappers.'
