Diamondbacks daily: Giants’ series to conclude in San Francisco after Saturday’s loss
Sunday’s game: DBacks at Giants, 1:05 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34
The Arizona Diamondbacks look to even the current four-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The DBacks are coming off Saturday’s 7-3 loss. The teams split the first two games Thursday and Friday.
Sunday pitching matchup: Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (2-0, 2.19) vs. Giants RHP Jordan Hicks (2-0, 1.57).
At Oracle Park: Kelly had to work hard to get through five innings of one-run ball against the Cubs last week at Chase Field, needing 95 pitches despite giving up just three hits and two walks. It was his fourth consecutive start to open the year in which he gave up two runs or less. … Kelly is throwing his slider three times as often as he did last year, and for good reason: He is getting whiffs at a huge rate (44.1 percent) and holding opponents to a .211 average and .263 slugging on the pitch. … He posted a 4.63 ERA in two starts against the Giants last season. … Hicks spent most of the first five seasons in the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching in relief the vast majority of the time. He signed with the Giants in the offseason with the intention of converting into a starter, and the transition has gone quite well through four starts. He has worked at least five innings and given up two runs or less each time. … He throws a mid-90s fastball along with a sweeping breaking ball and a splitter. His secondary offerings have been highly effective, limiting contact and inducing big whiff rates.
Up next
Monday: At St. Louis, 4:45 p.m., Diamondbacks RHP Brandon Pfaadt (1-1, 5.32) vs. Cardinals RHP Lance Lynn (1-0, 2.18).
Tuesday: At St. Louis, 4:45 p.m., Diamondbacks TBA vs. Cardinals LHP Steven Matz (1-1, 3.60).
Wednesday: At St. Louis, 10:15 a.m., Diamondbacks LHP Jordan Montgomery (1-0, 1.50) vs. Cardinals RHP Kyle Gibson (1-2, 5.04).

Big-rig crash snarls Bay Bridge traffic for hours
A jackknifed semi-truck blocked four lanes of eastbound Interstate 80 on the Bay Bridge Thursday, causing major delays during the rainy morning commute.
California Highway Patrol officers responded to a report of a solo truck collision at 5:12 a.m. just east of the First Street onramp, according to CHP logs. Officers arrived to learn the driver, who sustained head injuries and was seen limping, had lost control of the vehicle. The driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and was in stable condition, the San Francisco Fire Department said in a statement.
The truck suffered major front-end damage but remained upright. Authorities warned it would take hours to clear the wreckage and encouraged drivers to use other routes.

Atmospheric river forces flight delays, cancelations at SFO
As an atmospheric river makes its way into the Bay Area, flights at San Francisco International Airport have been drastically impacted.
According to Flight Aware, the airport saw more than 430 delays on Wednesday and more than 60 cancellations. With the storm not projected to clear up for a few days, aviation experts said it will impact those beginning their travel for Thanksgiving week.
“If we can’t get out of this weather, which it doesn’t look like we’re going to until sometime next week, all these people could be delayed and probably will be delayed to their destination,” said Mike McCaron, an aviation expert.
Donnie Pascal, who was flying to Florida, and their family had their flight delayed by two hours.
“I got snacks. I got my phone,” Pascal said.
Some passengers went to SFO to find out their flights were canceled.
As the storm progresses, more flights can be impacted, as the FAA continually reviews the number of planes the airport can accept per hour. Then, airlines have to respond accordingly.
McCaron said he recommends that travelers stay in touch with their carrier and check their flight status via an application.
According to the National Weather Service, several inches of rain have already fallen in the North Bay and are expected to spread further south in the region.

This $300,000 San Francisco home is a hot sale — but here's the catch
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — How would you like to buy a house in San Francisco for $300,000?
There’s one out there, but it is going to need some work.
It’s on Lowell Street near Morse Street in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood, and it is definitely a fixer-upper. There is no bathroom, kitchen, running water or electricity–and it has heavy fire damage.
But, there’s a good selling point for the property.

“The lot itself is about almost 2,600 square feet. It’s pretty narrow but goes back a ways. So, as it is, the house has a very large backyard. But if you were to knock down the house but could build something within in that whole parcel, you could have a sizeable single family home, or potentially a multi-unit building, according to the listing agent,” said Garrett Leahy with the San Francisco Standard, who covered the story.
One thing that could add to any obstacle: if someone wants to knock it down and start over, they’ll need to get a demolition permit and new plans approved.
Tuesday was the deadline to make an offer.
