Trump pays respects to 4 US service members killed in the Middle East
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is honoring the lives of four U.S. service members who were killed in the Middle East and returned to their families at an air force base in Delaware. Trump saluted Wednesday as four transfer cases carrying the service members' remains were escorted off an airplane during the dignified transfer. Earlier in the day, he called the ritual over the loss of life as “one of the hardest things to do as a president.” The service members were identified as 25-year-old Tyler James Feehan of Hawaii, 19-year-old Isabella Gonzales of Texas, 28-year-old Angel S. Rampersad of New York, and 30-year-old Michael Emmanuel Swinton of North Carolina.

R. James Woolsey, CIA director during the Clinton administration, dies at 84
SUMMARY: R. James Woolsey, a national security expert who led the CIA for two turbulent years after his appointment by President Bill Clinton, has died. He was 84. Several newspapers report that Woolsey, who became CIA director in early 1993, died Tuesday at his home in Washington. His wife, Conchita Sarnoff Woolsey, told the newspapers that he died from a stroke. Woolsey left the CIA in early 1995. Among criticisms he’d faced were from those who felt that there had been insufficient sanctions against supervisors of confessed CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames.

Millions have signed up for Trump Accounts, but some families are still waiting for baby's $1,000
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says Trump Accounts could lift children out of poverty and help more Americans invest in the stock market. But some parents are still waiting for the money. Trump promoted the accounts at a rally in Georgia on Wednesday. Trump Accounts offer $1,000 to every child born during his second term. The accounts went live July 4. They can be opened for any child under 18, with contributions from family and others. The money is invested and can be accessed at 18. Some parents say they were told the money could take weeks to arrive. The Treasury Department says most families wait only one or two days.

ICE drops plan to convert 2 Pennsylvania warehouses into detention centers
SUMMARY: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is giving up on its plan to use two rural Pennsylvania warehouses to hold thousands of people. The plan had been held up by the state’s denial of drinking water and wastewater permits. An ICE lawyer filed paperwork Wednesday withdrawing the agency’s appeal of the denial. The state had raised concerns that the local services were inadequate to handle thousands of inhabitants. ICE didn't say what, if anything, it would ultimately use the warehouses for. But it told the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in a separate letter that it “will not be using this property as a detention center.”

Red Sox win 15th straight, matching longest in club history, with 6-3 victory over Orioles
SUMMARY: The Boston Red Sox won their 15th straight game to match a club record for the longest winning streak in team history from 80 years ago, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 in the opener of a split doubleheader. They equaled the 1946 American League champs, who were led by future Hall of Famer Ted Williams. Jarren Duran had a two-run triple and a sacrifice fly, and Caleb Durbin — who hit a tiebreaking homer when they posted their 14th straight victory on Monday — chipped in with a two-run single. Ceddanne Rafaela added a solo home run for Boston in a makeup from Tuesday’s rainout.

Nationals beat Rockies 8-0 as Cade Cavalli goes 6 strong innings and Luis García Jr. homers
SUMMARY: Cade Cavalli pitched six strong innings, Luis García Jr. hit a two-run homer as part of a six-run seventh to break open a tight game and the Washington Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 8-0 on Wednesday. The Nationals took two of three from the Rockies to win a fourth consecutive road series. Cavalli (7-4) scattered four hits and walked two while striking out eight. The right-hander threw 90 pitches, mixing in a blazing fastball with a baffling knuckle-curve. He also made a nifty play early in the game, reaching behind him with his glove to snare a sharp grounder headed up the middle.

Orioles halt Red Sox's franchise record-tying 15 game win streak with 5-1 win to split twinbill
SUMMARY: The Baltimore Orioles ended Boston’s franchise record-tying 15-game winning streak behind Kyle Bradish’s six innings of one-run ball, defeating the Red Sox 5-1 in the nightcap of a doubleheader on Wednesday. It was Boston’s first loss since a 10-2 setback to Washington at Fenway Park on July 1. The Red Sox won the opener 6-3 to match the club’s 80-year-old record. Boston’s 1946 team that won 15 straight was led by Ted Williams and won the American League pennant. This year’s Red Sox streak was the longest in the majors since St. Louis also won 15 straight in September of 2021.

Red Sox match club record of 15 straight wins, then lose nightcap of doubleheader with Orioles
SUMMARY: The Boston Red Sox matched a club record set 80 years ago with their 15th straight victory. Boston beat Baltimore 6-3 on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader.

Interim manager Chad Tracy is the first manager since the 19th Century to lead a win streak of 15 games or more when he didn't begin the season in the job. Then Baltimore took the nightcap 5-1 to end it.
