SF Giants’ skid reaches 5 games with loss to Marlins, lose Alex Wood in the process

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 09:10:22 GMT

MIAMI — Already beaten up and backsliding, the Giants lost their fifth straight game Monday night and a member of their starting rotation in the process.Starter Alex Wood left in the third inning after straining his hamstring, and the Giants’ bullpen was unable to hold on to another early lead, falling 4-2 to the Marlins, who got a three-run home run from Jazz Chisholm Jr. that proved to be the difference in the game.Having already clinched a losing record on this road trip, the Giants dropped their fourth straight series — three to teams that finished below .500 in 2022 — and will throw Alex Cobb in Wednesday’s series finale as they look to avoid a sweep and a sixth straight loss.They have lost all four games on this trip against the Tigers and Marlins, neither of whom won 70 games last season, despite holding leads in all four games.“It kind of feels like we’re just falling asleep at the wheel right now,” said outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, who gave the...

Robot shuttles at San Jose airport? Major transit plan moves forward

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 09:10:22 GMT

An effort to connect a 3.5-mile gap between San Jose Mineta International Airport and Diridon Station may get a Star Trek-like solution.Despite skepticism from transit enthusiasts and the local bus unions, San Jose councilmembers on Tuesday gave their initial approval on what could ultimately become an army of robotic shuttles ferrying passengers between the two travel hubs at a cost of up to $500 million. The project, which could get underway by 2028, comes as the city’s airport and Diridon Station experience increased demand but no efficient public transit option to link them. It currently takes two buses or an Uber to make the journey.In its unanimous approval on Tuesday, the council voted to explore working with a local startup called Glydways, whose driverless shuttles would carry up to four passengers on a designated driveway at a maximum speed of 31 miles per hour. Since the shuttle would run at a continuous speed, officials from Glydways said the journey could take aro...

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 09:10:22 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve a contract with the San Francisco Police Officers Association union to address severe police staffing shortages."We are currently short staffed by 562 officers, or approximately 25% short of the 2,182 officers required to meet our workload demands,” Police Chief Bill Scott said.Supervisors approved the contract in a 10-1 vote. Supervisor Catherine Stefani said, "The fact we are over 500 officers short is having negative consequences citywide and we must do everything possible to close that gap." "We will never have enough officers walking neighborhoods and patrolling streets until people are willing to be police officers in San Francisco,” said Supervisor Joel Engardio.   The agreement includes significant retention incentives. It will also help recruit new officers by making San Francisco the highest paid entry-level salary for larger cities in the Bay Area.Supervis...

NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Rafael Leão isn’t quite ready to relinquish his slalom title to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.It was the Portuguese winger — not the Georgian dribbling wonder — who was more successful at weaving his way around defenders in their three-week showdown, as Leão carried AC Milan past Napoli and “Kvara” into the Champions League semifinals after also helping rout the runaway Serie A leader 4-0 in the Italian league.“We’re enjoying everything about Leão,” Milan coach Stefano Pioli said after a 1-1 draw in the second leg on Tuesday enabled the Rossoneri to advance on 2-1 aggregate. “Today we asked him to help out more defensively and he did it. Rafa is becoming a champion and that’s what he’ll become. It’s up to him, because for someone with that much talent and skill, both technically and physically, it’s just a matter of how much effort he puts in.”The decisive goal of the Champions League series came when Leão took the ball from Milan’s own half and slalomed his way through...
