WASHINGTON — — Joc Pederson homered twice, doubled and drove in three runs to assist the San Francisco Giants rout the Washington Nationals 12-3 on Sunday for the sequence sweep.
Pederson moved to the leadoff spot after Mike Yastrzemski was positioned on the COVID-19 listing Sunday morning. He hit a house run to leadoff the sport, a 441-foot blast that is the longest leadoff HR by a Giants batter tracked by Statcast.
Pederson did it once more main off the seventh inning to go 3 for 3.
“I used to be feeling good, seeing the ball out of their hand and simply swinging at some pitches that I used to be capable of placed on the barrel,” mentioned Pederson, who’s hitting .364 with 5 house runs and 10 runs scored in his first season with the Giants.
The Giants are 7-3 on this highway journey, with a sport left to go in Milwaukee on Monday. Wilmer Flores added three RBI singles for San Francisco, who swept a sequence of at the least three video games at Nationals Park for the primary time June 6-9, 2008.
Starter Logan Webb (2-1) struggled early, however ended up permitting three runs on seven hits and putting out six over 6 2/3 innings. He retired eight of the final 9 batters he confronted.
“I simply really feel like I am discovering myself a bit bit now. I do not really feel like I’ve obtained, actually, my greatest stuff,” Webb mentioned. “It is bizarre, like I really feel good but it surely’s simply not there proper now. We’ll look into some mechanical issues”
In his earlier begin, Webb gave up three runs on six hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Mets.
Washington was swept for the primary time this season and has misplaced 5 straight. Yadiel Hernandez homered, singled and drove in the entire Nationals’ three runs. Starter Joan Adon (1-3) pitched four-plus innings and was charged with 5 runs on six hits.
After Pederson’s homer, Flores later singled in one other run to make it 2-0 within the first. Pederson hit a sacrifice fly within the second, and the Giants elevated their result in 4-1.
“I feel he set the tone for the day,” supervisor Gabe Kapler mentioned of Pederson, “I feel he’s selecting actually good pitches to go after and even when he will get deeper into counts and pitchers have velocity, he’s capable of catch as much as that velocity.”
Hernandez pulled Washington inside 4-3 with a two-run homer within the third, however Flores drove house Pederson within the fifth and Pederson made it 6-3 within the seventh earlier than the Giants tacked on six runs within the ninth.
Washington’s bullpen, which had posted an 0.94 ERA over the previous six video games, gave up seven earned runs.
“Falling behind, not throwing strikes, walks,” supervisor Dave Martinez mentioned. “Hopefully that is out of them immediately and so they come proper again Tuesday doing what they have been doing in earlier video games.”

The heat is on in the South Bay with temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees over the next few days, and people are already finding creative ways to beat the high temperatures.
Some people are beating the heat with a splash through the fountains in downtown San Jose
“It’s always nice and cool in the water, and you know we’ve got shade over here under the trees too,” said Javier Cascaneda.
KPIX First Alert Weather: Current conditions, alerts, maps for your area
Families flocked to the fountains Monday as temperatures hit the 90s.
And this is just the beginning, the heat is expected to top 100 degrees over the next few days.
“I have a pool at my apartment so probably swim there. We’ll maybe go to the beach,” said Jeneva Alvarez and Luis Ponce.
That seemed to be a common theme, many people told KPIX they’re already making plans to head out of town towards someplace a little cooler.
“Go to the Ocean. Yeah, Half Moon Bay or maybe Santa Cruz,” said Paul Padilla and Jennifer Liu.
But while some are escaping to cooler temperatures, first responders back are preparing for what could be a dangerous combination, a heat wave and the Fourth of July.
San Jose Police posted on social media reminding people that all fireworks are illegal in the city and can be very dangerous in conditions like this.
People said they understand that but still expect to see some people breaking the rules.
“I feel like there’s always more fireworks every year and just about the same amount of fires. But there’s not much that I think is going to change honestly. It’s just going to be keep on going unless we get more rain hopefully,” said Javier Cascaneda
Of course, the hope, especially in conditions like the ones expected this week, is that people will be extra careful celebrating the holiday this year.

After Missing Housing Goals, SF Has Permit Process Slashed Under New State Law | KQED
![After Missing Housing Goals, SF Has Permit Process Slashed Under New State Law | KQED](https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/032_KQED_UkraineRally_02242022_qed-1020x679.jpg)
Under SB 423, which passed last year, cities that miss their state goals on planning for new housing must provide an expedited path for approving permits for new developments that meet existing planning standards.
San Francisco will be the first city where the law is triggered after Wiener included language making it the only city with an annual review of its housing permitting goals. Other cities are reviewed every four years.
On Friday, the California Department of Housing and Community Development ruled that San Francisco was falling short of its goal to plan for building 82,000 new units of housing by 2031. Last year, the city authorized just over 3,000 units, according to the San Francisco Planning Department.
Rich Hillis, director of the Planning Department, called the streamlined process instituted by SB 423 “a new era.”
“You could come in today online and apply for a housing project that will be approved by the end of this summer,” Hillis said at a press conference Monday. “And that is truly a game changer, where that would have normally taken a year, two years — or, as Mayor Breed pointed out, sometimes 10 years or more if CEQA is involved and appeals are involved.”
Critics say the penalties instituted by SB 423 were always part of a plan to do away with local control in favor of market-rate developers.
Lori Brooke, co-founder of anti-upzoning group Neighborhoods United SF, called the state’s goal of 82,000 new units for San Francisco “unattainable” and said the city was unfairly singled out by SB 423, which she said “forces the city to haphazardly make changes to zoning and planning that will be felt for the next 100 years.”
“San Francisco is being punished for actions beyond its control — cities don’t build housing; developers do,” Brooke said in a statement.

San Francisco PD tests device that can detect fentanyl in saliva

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Police Department will soon deploy a drug testing device that tests for fentanyl and other drugs in saliva, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The Dräger DrugTest 5000 is intended to assist in public intoxication arrests, according to the report. The move comes as a part of a yearlong effort to combat the city’s open-air drug markets.
The Dräger device, which tests saliva samples for several different, is already in use for DUI investigations, according to the report. Ryan Kao, director of the SFPD’s Crime Strategies Division, led discussions with Dräger, persuading the company to develop a prototype specifically for detecting fentanyl.
San Francisco police, already contracted with Dräger for other testing purposes, will be the first to field-test the prototype, according to the report. The device operates with a handheld unit and an analyzer, which processes saliva samples to detect eight types of drugs: fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, oxycodone, methadone, benzodiazepines like Xanax and ketamine. Officers must receive consent before administering the test, similar to procedures in DUI cases.
Kao acknowledged that the new system could lead to more arrests but emphasized its role in providing objective evidence for officers, which can be difficult to obtain in public intoxication arrests.
“In an age where we have so much more scrutiny on our officers, this allows them to say, ‘You know what? I’m not just making it up. I have something that’s scientifically backed,’” Kao said.
“[The] shift from making an arrest to preserving life is commendable…” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. ” I [am] proud of our team for taking her into custody safely”
Cedar Hill Police pursued the suspect down a freeway; the man opened the driver’s side door and fired at least one shot at the officers while continuing to flee
Utica PD officers stopped two teens because they matched descriptions of robbery suspects; one attempted to flee before producing a replica gun and pointing it at officers
