Carson Beck throws 4 TD passes to help No. 3 Miami hold off No. 18 Florida State, 28-22

October 4, 2025

Carson Beck threw four touchdown passes — two apiece to Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels — and No. 3 Miami held off No. 18 Florida State 28-22 on Saturday night. Miami’s offensive line mostly kept Beck’s jersey clean, and the senior completed 20 of 27 passes for 241 yards. A true freshman, Toney caught seven passes for 107 yards for the Hurricanes (5-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). They won their first road game of the season and captured a third win over an Associated Press Top 25 team (Notre Dame, South Florida and Florida State). Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos threw two interceptions, both leading to drives where Miami scored touchdowns. The Seminoles (3-2, 0-2) also fumbled, although the turnover didn’t lead to any points.

October 4, 2025

Zach McKinstry singled home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the 11th inning and the Detroit Tigers outlasted the Seattle Mariners for a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of their AL Division Series.

After winning their Wild Card Series at division champion Cleveland in a deciding Game 3, they can take a commanding 2-0 lead in this best-of-five matchup against AL West champion Seattle with dominant ace Tarik Skubal on the mound Sunday. In the first extra-inning game of this postseason, McKinstry singled off reliever Carlos Vargas to score Spencer Torkelson from second base.

Dodgers might have found a postseason closer in Japanese rookie Roki Sasaki

October 4, 2025

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have found their closer just in time for another World Series run. They turned to Roki Sasaki, a rookie from Japan, to fill the role of shutdown reliever. On Saturday, Sasaki pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of their NL Division Series. Shohei Ohtani and Sasaki became the first Japanese-born starter and reliever to earn a win and a save in the same postseason game. Sasaki, who battled a shoulder injury this season, has made a smooth transition to the bullpen. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been impressed with his performance in the playoffs.

Napheesa Collier cancels meeting with WNBA Commissioner Engelbert amid tensions, AP source says

October 4, 2025

Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier canceled a meeting with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert expected to take place next week, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about it. Engelbert said Friday that she had talked to Collier earlier this week after the Lynx player said the league has “the worst leadership in the world” and a commissioner who lacks accountability in a blistering assessment. The two had planned to meet next week, either in person or virtually. ESPN first reported the meeting was canceled.

Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from deploying troops in Portland, Oregon

October 4, 2025

A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the order Saturday in a lawsuit brought by the state and city. The Defense Department had said it was placing 200 members of Oregon’s National Guard under federal control for 60 days to protect federal property at locations where protests are occurring or likely to occur after Trump called the city “war-ravaged.” Oregon officials and Portland residents alike said that description was ludicrous. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland has recently been the site of nightly protests.

The team gathered around him before he was carted off. The game was scoreless with 10:37 remaining in the first quarter. OU Sports Medicine said during the game that Lewis was sent offsite for additional testing, and the outlook for him is “promising.”

October 4, 2025

Nico Iamaleava ran for three touchdowns and passed for two more as UCLA upset No. 7 Penn State 42-37 on Saturday.

The Bruins, who were 25 1/2-point underdogs, scored on their first five possessions at the Rose Bowl. Iamaleava capped his day with a 7-yard run and a 2-point conversion pass in the fourth. Penn State turned the ball over on a fumble to open the third quarter. UCLA extended its lead with a strong running game, ensuring they won’t have the program’s first winless season.

October 4, 2025

DJ Lagway threw for a season-high 289 yards and two touchdowns, both to a true freshman making his college debut, and Florida upset No. 9 Texas 29-21 to end a three-game skid. Arch Manning and the Longhorns had a chance in the final minute thanks partly to a defensive penalty, but he threw incomplete deep and was sacked twice. Florida enjoyed its first victory since beating Long Island in the season opener. Lagway looked better than he had in four previous starts this season, and Dallas Wilson had a lot to do with it. Wilson showed speed, hands and arguably the most physicality of any Florida receiver in years.

DC’s shutdown hasn’t stopped the stock market. Here’s what may

October 4, 2025

The U.S. stock market continues to rise despite the government’s latest shutdown. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average hit all-time highs on Friday. It’s not just big tech driving the market; the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks and gold also reached records. Past shutdowns have had minimal effects on the market, and many investors expect the market to climb further. However, there are concerns about expensive stocks, the need for rising corporate profits, and whether the Federal Reserve makes further cuts to interest rates. The AI boom also needs to deliver on its promises to sustain growth.

October 4, 2025

The iconic Vermont venue known for launching the jam band Phish and fostering a variety of music and musicians has closed its doors after 50 years. Nectar’s said in June that it was taking a summer pause due to challenges in downtown Burlington. But weeks later, it announced that it wouldn’t reopen at all, citing economic struggles and downtown construction as contributing factors. The club hosted many artists and was famous for its regular music series. Community members say its absence leaves a significant gap in Burlington’s music scene.

Wallace said he respects Hamlin’s competitiveness but noted many drivers felt it was a questionable move. Wallace and teammate Tyler Reddick now face elimination from the playoffs.

Antetokounmpo, entering his 13th season with Milwaukee, is a nine-time All-Star and two-time MVP. Rivers noted that practicing without Antetokounmpo helps the team prepare for minutes when he’s off the floor.

October 4, 2025

Jimbo Fisher was brought to tears while returning to Florida State’s campus for the first time since resigning to take the Texas A&M coaching job in 2017. Fisher, now an ACC Network analyst, was wildly cheered at the start of the league’s pregame show outside Doak Campbell Stadium. He turned in his chair, did the tomahawk chop to the crowd of garnet-clad fans and started to cry. He said it “bring tears to my eyes.” Fisher coached at Florida State for 10 years, first as an offensive coordinator and then as head-coach-in-waiting before taking over for legend Bobby Bowden in 2010. He won a national title in 2013.

Two girls are found dead in New York after a fatal game of ‘subway surfing,’ authorities say

October 4, 2025

New York City police found two girls dead in what apparently was a game of “subway surfing” that turned out to be fatal. Police said they responded to a 911 call Saturday morning just after 3 a.m. at the Marcy Avenue stop in Brooklyn to find two unconscious females who were pronounced dead at the scene. Police didn’t identify the victims or give their ages. But New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow describes them as girls involved in subway surfing. He says getting on top of a subway car is suicide, not surfing. He says the grieving families and the transit workers who discovered the girls have been horribly shaken.

How to grow a giant pumpkin, with help from science

October 4, 2025

Every year, growers raise giant pumpkins and compete in annual weigh-offs against other colossal fruits. They choose seeds that have yielded large pumpkins in the past or test new ones. After that, it comes down to the right combination of water, nutrients and care. As the leafy patch expands, growers remove smaller pumpkins that sprout. Because of gravity, giant pumpkins grow wide but not tall. Pumpkins aren’t the only crops that can get massive. Other members of the gourd family like squashes, cucumbers and watermelons also can get huge.

October 4, 2025

The first supermoon of the year is almost here. The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter on Monday. It’s the first of three supermoons this year. This happens when the full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. Supermoons occur a few times a year. They’ve visible without special equipment if clear skies permit. But the difference can be tough to discern, especially if people haven’t observed the regular moon on the nights leading up. The closest supermoon of the year is slated for November, followed by another in December.

Trump is reviving large sales of coal from public lands. Will anyone want it?

October 4, 2025

U.S. officials in coming days are set to hold the government’s biggest coal sales in more than a decade. About 600 million tons of the fuel will be auctioned from publicly owned reserves next to strip mines in Montana and Wyoming. Data analyzed by The Associated Press shows most of the power plants served by those mines plan to quit burning coal altogether within 10 years. The sales are a signature piece of President Donald Trump’s ambitions to dig and burn more coal from federal lands. The soft market for coal shows the risk in such a turnabout.

Legal setbacks mount for Trump’s birthright order before likely Supreme Court review

October 4, 2025

Now it’s five federal courts that have rejected President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for the children of people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily. The latest ruling against his move on birthright citizenship came Friday by an appeals court in Boston. The Supreme Court is almost certain to have the final word. But the string of losses in lower courts could mean an uphill fight even in front of the justices, who so far have sided with the president on many legal challenges.

New Supreme Court term confronts justices with Trump’s aggressive assertion of presidential power

October 4, 2025

A monumental Supreme Court term is set to begin with major tests of presidential power on the agenda. There also are important cases on voting and the rights of LGBTQ people. The court’s conservative majority has far been receptive, at least in preliminary rulings, to many of President Donald Trump’s aggressive assertions of authority. They could be more skeptical when they conduct an in-depth examination of some Trump policies, including the Republican president’s imposition of tariffs and his desired restrictions on birthright citizenship. The new term gets underway Monday.
