    Kyren Paris hits 2 more homers, but Angels allow a grand slam and lose to Rays
    TAMPA, Fla. — The Angels and Tampa Bay Rays each loaded the bases in the first inning.
    The Angels got nothing. The Rays hit a grand slam.
    As you might expect, that was the ballgame. The Angels lost, 5-4, on Wednesday night, as their three-game winning streak came to an end.
    The Angels (7-4) had won all four of their previous one-run games this season.
    All of the runs for both teams scored on homers to right field. The Angels got two solo homers from Kyren Paris, who has now hit four homers

    Art, theft and new acquisitions mark The Bunny Museum’s post-fire journey
    As museum acquisitions go, this one was bittersweet.
    More than 11,000 bunny items of every shape and size boosted the decimated collection of Altadena’s iconic The Bunny Museum Tuesday, when the museum, which lost its building in the Eaton fire, acquired the treasure trove of bunny miscellanea from the estate of Faye Clair Minaker Curtis.
    Curtis was 92 when she died on Dec. 7, 2024. She had earmarked her cherished collection of bunny-themed things to The Bunny Museum in Altadena, which she

    BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Trucks and workers started cleaning up the Keystone oil pipeline spill in rural North Dakota, though its cause and the project timing is unclear.
    The pipeline ruptured Tuesday morning in southeastern North Dakota and was shut down within two minutes by an employee who heard a mechanical bang. An aerial photo released Wednesday shows a black, pondlike pool of oil suspended in a partially snowy field that’s traversed by tire tracks.

    WASHINGTON — When the Dodgers boasted of their starting pitching depth leading into this season, All-Stars like Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin were the arms they had in mind.
    None of those three are ready to pitch in the big leagues yet, so the Dodgers turned to a different level of the depth chart this week, starting Justin Wrobleski and Landon Knack in back-to-back against the Washington Nationals.

    By MATTHEW DALY
    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has long complained about modern rules that limit water flow for showerheads, making it harder for him to wash his “beautiful hair.”
    In his first term, Trump directed that restrictions on showerheads be loosened, an action that former President Joe Biden reversed.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump delivered another jarring reversal in American trade policy Wednesday, suspending for 90 days import taxes he’d imposed barely 13 hours earlier on dozens of countries while escalating his trade war with China.

    The bill would have allowed victims of natural disasters, including fires, floods and hurricanes, to sue fossil fuel companies over harm to themselves or their property for damage totaling at least $10,000. Home insurers would also have been able to seek damages under the legislati
