Wilmer Flores hits home run No. 20, but Padres outslug SF Giants

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:14 GMT

SAN DIEGO — Wilmer Flores’ understated superstar season continued Friday night. But, like most the rest of it, the Flo Show lacked a supporting act.Flores slugged his 20th home run of the season with flourish, tanking the fifth pitch of the game to the upper deck of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in left field, but the rest of the Giants’ lineup wilted against Michael Wacha in a 7-3 loss to the Padres (63-73), squaring the weekend series at a game apiece.Flores gave the Giants (70-65) an early lead with his first-inning home run, but within five pitches out of Tristan Beck’s right hand, he had given it right back.Looking to follow up strong showing Sunday against the Braves, Beck’s tryout for a full-time rotation spot did not go well. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto went back-to-back, and the Giants were in a 6-1 hole by the time manager Gabe Kapler came to get him with two outs in the third inning.The Giants’ previous five starters combined to ...

By AUDREY McAVOY and JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER (Associated Press)HONOLULU (AP) — The number of people on the official list of those missing from the Maui wildfire stood at 385 on Friday, nearly unchanged from a week earlier.In a news release, the Maui Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said 245 people on the list of 388 made public the previous week were located and removed from the list. However, a nearly equal number of new names were added.The updated total was a startling departure from what had been expected — a day earlier Gov. Josh Green said he expected the number would fall below 100.“We think the number has dropped down into the double digits, so thank God,” Green said in a video posted to his account on X, formerly known as Twitter.Authorities have said at least 115 people died in the fire, which tore through Lahaina in a matter of hours on Aug. 8 — the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in more than a century.

Rally held in Coronado over Tijuana River sewage crisis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:14 GMT

CORONADO, Calif. -- Dozens of protesters gathered to pressure state and federal officials to expedite work on a system to capture the toxic waste flowing from Tijuana into the Pacific Ocean. In just August, Imperial Beach officials say billions of gallons of toxic sewage waste and trash flowed through the Tijuana River Valley and contaminated Imperial Beach beaches and reaching Coronado as well. The generational problem stems from a failed Mexican wastewater system. “It’s been impacting humanity for decades, but now it’s time to step up as a united front and to tell the governor that he's got to address this,” protest organizer Marely Ramirez said. Now, federal officials have allocated $350 million to fix and retrofit a water filtration plant, but the process is slow going and Paloma Aguirre, the mayor of Imperial Beach, has lost all patience, demanding California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Biden declare a state of emergency. Red tide, bioluminescent waves roll into parts of ...
