DETROIT (AP) — Pete Alonso homered twice, Juan Soto went deep again and rookie Nolan McLean pitched six solid innings as the New York Mets beat the Detroit Tigers 12-5 on Tuesday night.

McLean (4-0) recovered from a rocky start to set down his final 14 batters. He gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven, becoming the first Mets pitcher to earn a win in each of his first four major league appearances.

Luis Torrens launched a three-run homer for the Mets, who won the series opener 10-8 on Monday. They are five games ahead of Cincinnati and San Francisco for the final National League wild card.

The AL Central-leading Tigers have lost seven of nine.

Alonso's first homer was a 435-foot drive in the first inning that landed between the first and second row of shrubs behind the center-field wall. Soto and Alonso hit back-to-back solo shots in a six-run seventh that gave the Mets a 12-2 cushion.

Soto has 37 home runs in his first season with New York — five in the past five games. Alonso's second homer was his 33rd of the year.

Jeff McNeil drove in three runs and finished with three of New York's 17 hits. Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty also had three hits for the Mets.

Detroit turned a pair of two-out walks into two runs in the first, scoring on singles off McLean before the 24-year-old righty shut them down.

Tigers starter Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-2) gave up six runs on five hits and two walks over four innings, pitching for the first time since Aug. 13 in a season stunted by injuries. Detroit right-hander Chris Paddack, demoted to the bullpen, allowed six runs and eight hits over 1 1/3 innings.

Key moment

Torrens homered in a five-run fourth, giving the Mets a 6-2 lead.

Key stat

Soto homered again, one day after becoming the first player in the modern era to hit a go-ahead grand slam and a go-ahead triple that scored more than one run in the same game.

Up next

Mets RHP Clay Holmes (11-6, 3.60 ERA) and Tigers RHP Casey Mize (12-5, 3.95) are scheduled to start Wednesday.

KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY September 2, 2025 at 10:30 PM

J.D. and Turk's bromance is getting a new lease on life with the upcoming "Scrubs" reboot, and nurse Carla will be back to witness their new antics.

After years of teasing a revival in July, ABC announced that the beloved Emmy-winning show will return to screens with three of its original stars — Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke — and series creator Bill Lawrence. Then on Sept. 2, Carla Espinosa herself, "High Potential" star Judy Reyes, confirmed she's also signed on for the reboot.

"So thrilled to get back together with my Scrubs family!!" she captioned an Instagram post with a screenshot of Deadline's report announcing her recurring guest star role.

The hospital comedy show will see one-time interns J.D. (Braff) and Turk (Faison) "scrub in together for the first time in a long time," according to the season's logline. "Medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart, and some surprises along the way."

The beloved comedy debuted with a starring cast of Braff, Faison, Chalke, Reyes, Neil Flynn (Janitor), Ken Jenkins (Chief of Medicine Dr. Bob Kelso), and John C. McGinley (Dr. Perry Cox) on NBC in October 2001.

The show moved to ABC for Season 8 and was canceled after Season 9 in 2010. By the end of the series, several main cast members had reduced roles as the network shepherded in new actors.

When will the 'Scrubs' reboot premiere?

The reboot will debut in the 2025-2026 broadcast TV season, according to ABC news release.

Who's confirmed for the 'Scrubs' reboot cast?

Here's who is confirmed to return for the "Scrubs" reboot:

Donald Faison (Chris Turk)

Zach Braff (J.D. Dorian)

Sarah Chalke (Elliott Reid)

Judy Reyes (Carla Espinosa)

The cast has kept in contact since ABC sunsetted the show. Faison and Braff co-host the "Scrubs" podcast "Fake Doctors, Real Friends" and have also appeared together in T-Mobile ads.

In 2024, Braff, Chalke, McGinley, and Christa Miller (who played Perry's ex-wife Jordan Sullivan) had a mini-reunion, which McGinley documented on social media with the caption, "getting the band back together!"

While speaking on a panel at the ATX TV Festival in 2022, Faison confirmed "we all would love to work together again" but expressed doubt that a full season would be possible.

"It can't be a full season of a show. It would have to be a movie or something like that."

- - Singapore orders Meta to implement anti-scam measures or face possible fine

September 3, 2025 at 6:43 AM

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Singapore police have ordered Meta to implement anti-scam measures against advertisements, accounts, profiles and business pages impersonating key government office holders on its social media network Facebook to combat scams, a government minister said.

The company could be fined up to S$1 million ($775,698) if it fails to comply as part of the first such order under the nation's new Online Criminal Harms Act, which came into force in February 2024.

"We are issuing (the order) to Meta because Facebook is the top platform used by scammers for such impersonation scams, and the police has assessed that more decisive action is required to curb these scams," Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming said in a speech on Wednesday.

Meta did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

In August, Singapore's home affairs ministry found that more than a third of all e-commerce scams reported in 2024 were perpetrated on Facebook. It also rated Facebook Marketplace as the weakest among six e-commerce marketplaces in terms of anti-scam features deployed.

Police statistics released in August showed that scams that involved the impersonation of government officials almost tripled to 1,762 cases in the first half of 2025, from 589 cases in the same period a year ago. A total of S$126.5 million was lost to this type of scam in the same period, up 88% from the S$67.2 million lost a year ago.

The home affairs ministry acknowledged Facebook Marketplace has required "enhanced user verification measures" for select sellers in Singapore since 2024, and that it introduced in-product safety notices, as well as anti-scam notices within its messaging functions to warn users of the risk of e-commerce scams.

Those measures were deployed after earlier criticism by the government over the company's failure to put in place safeguards that protect users from scams.

In February 2024, then-Minister of State for Home Affairs Sun Xueling said that the company had "consistently pushed back" against the ministry's recommendations to implement measures, such as verifying users against government-issued identification or offering secured payment options to combat e-commerce scams on the platform.

FTC commissioner that Trump fired can temporarily stay, appeals court rules Ramishah Maruf, CNNSeptember 3, 2025 at 5:10 AM FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington, DC, on July 13, 2023.

A federal appeals court ruled that Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a Federal Trade Commission commissioner that President Donald Trump fired, can be temporarily reinstated in an order Tuesday.

Trump fired Slaughter and another Democratic FTC commissioner, Alvaro Bedoya, in March. While a lower district court ordered her reinstatement on July 21, the Justice Department received an emergency stay from the appeals court that temporarily blocked Slaughter from being reinstated.

On Tuesday, an appeals court ordered that the stay be dissolved in a 2-1 decision. It also denied the Trump administration's request to speed up the appeals process.

"The government has no likelihood of success on appeal given controlling and directly on point Supreme Court precedent," the court order read, citing a 1935 Supreme Court decision that protects FTC leaders from getting fired by the president "at will."

Tuesday's ruling was a setback for the Trump administration's efforts to significantly weaken several government watchdogs and regulators in Washington. Also in March, Trump attempted to drastically limit the operations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the banking watchdog.

In an emailed statement Tuesday, Slaughter said: "Amid the efforts by the Trump administration to illegally abolish independent agencies, including the Federal Reserve, I'm heartened the court has recognized that he is not above the law."

"I'm very eager to get back first thing tomorrow to the work I was entrusted to do on behalf of the American people," she continued.

The White House argued in a statement that Trump acted legally when he removed Slaughter, saying the Supreme Court twice allowed Trump to remove heads of agencies.

"We look forward to being vindicated for a third time — and hopefully after this ruling, the lower courts will cease their defiance of Supreme Court orders," White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

The FTC was formed 111 years ago to enforce consumer protection and antitrust laws. Under then-Chair Lina Khan, the Biden administration aggressively took on major cases, such as the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger and the Kroger acquisition of Albertsons. The FTC commission is made up of five commissioners, with no more than three commissioners from the same political party.

Both Slaughter and Bedoya claimed they were "illegally fired" in March and then sued. In June, Bedoya said on social media that he was formally resigning from the FTC.

"The President illegally fired me from my position as a Federal Trade Commissioner, violating the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent," Slaughter said in an emailed statement at the time.

She continued, "Why? Because I have a voice. And he is afraid of what I'll tell the American people."

CNN has reached out to the FTC for comment.

Because the first British settlement in Australia was a penal colony, there wasn't much need for coins or currency. As The Perth Mint noted in a blog, authorities envisioned a "self-sufficient settlement" where convicts worked for free and everyone (including jailers) got food and supplies from the government store. Australia eventually adopted its own currency, and now some of its rare coins can make you very rich.

Australian currency was originally based on British pounds, shillings and pence. That changed in 1966, when the country converted to Australian dollars and cents, similar to the U.S. system. The majority of Australia's most valuable coins were minted before the change.

Rare (and Valuable) Australian Coins

Here's a look at six coins that fetch the highest prices on the collectibles market, according to the CoinValueLookup site.

1930 Proof Penny: Only six of these proof coins were struck at the Melbourne Mint, and three are in museums, which means the three others are highly valued by collectors. One sold at auction in 2009 for an estimated $2 million Australian, which equals about $1.3 million U.S. dollars.

1852 Type 1 Adelaide Pound: These pounds were the first Australian gold coins, which makes them very attractive to collectors and dealers. The 1852 Type 1 version is even more valuable because of a flaw in the die that created a crack in the coin. One version sold for the equivalent of $410,000 USD in 2021.

1813 Holey Dollar: Here's another old coin that ranks as one of the first to be used in Australia, back when British settlers still used it as a penal colony. In 2022, a version sold for the equivalent of about $360,000 USD.

1923 Proof Halfpenny: Only about 15,000 halfpennies were struck for circulation at the Melbourne Mint in 1923, down from well more than 1 million the previous year. The rarity of this coin has pushed its value to more than $340,000 USD.

1920 Square Penny Type 9: The Type 9 version of this coin was unusual because of some of its details as well as the quality of the strike, which was much better than other 1920 specimens. One version sold for $135,000 AUS ($88,000 USD) in 2018.

1813 15-Pence "Dump Struck" with D/2 dies: These coins were made from the silver cut out of the middle of Spanish dollars and became known as "Dumps." The D/2 dies account for about 20% of the coin's minted population. The most valuable versions can fetch about $115,000 USD.

Big Food goes small: Kraft Heinz bets on simplicity to boost shares Abigail SummervilleSeptember 3, 2025 at 7:03 AM By Abigail Summerville Investment bankers had pitched a breakup to Kraft Heinz for years without success, sources said.

By Abigail Summerville

-Investment bankers had pitched a breakup to Kraft Heinz for years without success, sources said. The company finally agreed to a split when it realized that two simpler companies would be easier to manage and understand, garnering higher stock prices.

This strategy is gaining momentum in the world of food & beverage conglomerates.

The consumer food company's separation into two - one focused on condiments like Heinz ketchup, the other on grocery food brands like hot dog maker Oscar Mayer - results from multiple points of pressure. But perhaps more than anything else, it reflects a changing view that bigger is not always better, because businesses with the most growth potential can get overlooked.

"Big guys have trapped value because they can't buy something that moves the needle and do it right, or because they're already too large," said one consumer M&A banker.

"The complexity of our business has impacted their ability to realize the full strength of our brands and operations," Kraft Heinz CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera, who is due to lead the grocery business, said on an investor call on Tuesday.

Kraft Heinz's decision, announced on Tuesday, follows similar moves by peers.

Kellogg split up in 2023, renaming its snacks business Kellanova and the cereals unit WK Kellogg. Family-owned candy maker Mars bid $36 billion last year to acquire Kellanova. Ferrero made a deal to buy WK Kellogg this year.

Just last week, Keurig Dr Pepper announced plans to combine with JDE Peet's and then separate its cold beverage and coffee divisions, citing differing growth profiles. And Unilever is spinning off and listing separately its Magnum-led ice cream business which includes popular brands such as Magnum and Ben & Jerry's.

For bankers, the rationale behind these breakups is clear: focused, pure-play businesses are easier for capital markets to value and can pursue targeted M&A.

Since Kellanova and WK Kellogg started trading separately in October 2023, each company's stock has gained around 20% and 27%, respectively, before news broke of their acquisitions. Kellanova fetched a 44% premium to its unaffected 30-trading day volume-weighted average price, while WK Kellogg's premium was 40%.

Kraft Heinz has been trading at a price-earnings ratio of about 11, while more focused Mondelez and McCormick are in the low 20s. That dynamic has been part of bankers' pitches to Kraft Heinz for years, sources said. Warren Buffett's longstanding investment in the company through Berkshire Hathaway protected it from activist pressure to break up, but that faded when Berkshire directors left the board in May, the sources said.

Berkshire still owns around 27.4% of the company and Buffett on Tuesday told CNBC he was disappointed by the breakup.

Kraft Heinz declined to comment beyond the public materials released on Tuesday.

Breakup success is not guaranteed, though, and that has been the case especially since the COVID pandemic, according to research by JP Morgan. In a recent review, the bank looked at companies that split up and found that before COVID, price-earnings valuations generally expanded by 10%, to 9.9 from 9, compared with their parent firm. After COVID, the valuations fell by 5% to 10.4 from 11.

For food & beverage conglomerates, pressure is mounting to grow organically and drive volume in the face of changing consumer preferences away from processed foods.

Cost savings have long driven mergers, although the enthusiasm for the Kraft Heinz's 2015 deal quickly faded, said another banker familiar with the company. "When Kraft Heinz came together, in that moment of time, the view was: we're cutting costs everywhere. So all the organic investment in big consumer packaged goods almost bled out and moved outside the organizations," the banker said.

Kraft Heinz's decision reflects a broader challenge for large industry players. And M&A bankers said consumer packaged goods clients continue to ask if a separation is right for them.

"Now that we have a handful of examples, it could drive more traction with companies who have disparate portfolios," a third banker said. "It's been more challenging because consumers are truly behaving quite differently. There's lots of active debate about what makes sense on the chessboard here."
