While the San Francisco Giants fight to stay alive in the playoff race, a rookie has carried the team with an incredible stretch.

San Francisco shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald has been hitting the ball out of the park at a crazy rate, hitting eight home runs in his last eight games. The last Giants player to do that was none other than legendary slugger Barry Bonds back in 2004, per MLB’s Sarah Langs.

Over his last 10 games, Fitzgerald is slashing an absurd .429/.512/1.229 line. San Francisco is now 52-55 on the season and back under five games out from a Wild Card berth.

He’s come out of nowhere this season to fill a huge need in the infield. He had been a utility man, but has been given the reins at shortstop over the past week.

The 26-year-old made his MLB debut last campaign in a short stint. He slashed .219/.265/.469 with two home runs and five RBI in 10 games.

He wasn’t a power hitter in college, but has flashed some serious power in the minor leagues since being drafted. Still, no one could have expected him to have the stretch that he has had.

The position of shortstop has been an interesting journey for the Giants this year. If Fitzgerald can finish the season out for them, it would be a huge problem fixed.

Nick Ahmed played a majority of games at that spot for San Francisco and struggled mightily while healthy. He slashed just a .232/.278/.303 line over 52 games this season. Obviously not performing up to the level that the team wanted, he was DFA’d at the start of July.

Ahmed recently signed a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers and when 3-for-7 with a home run in a revenge series against the Giants. That home run tied the same amount that he hit during his San Francisco tenure.

Brett Wisely, Casey Schmitt and Marco Luciano have also played a few games for the Giants at shortstop.

Wisely serves as a bit of a warning to not get too attached to the surging infielder. He got off to a fast start, but has gone ice cold at the plate. In the month of July, he’s slashing just .203/.242/.288.

Fitzgerald doesn’t have to continue playing at a Bonds-esque level to be an improvement over what they’ve had for a large chunk of the season, though San Francisco certainly wouldn’t complain if he did.

Donald Trump has mocked Joe Biden’s golf swing, speaking style, and walk almost a week after he dropped out of the presidential race.

The former president eventually turned his attention to his new opponent Kamala Harris at a rally in key swing state Minnesota on Saturday night.

Trump revved up the 8,000-strong crowd in St Cloud with his impressions of the president, and called Harris ‘Marxist’ and ‘evil’ for her immigration record.

‘I don’t wanna waste a lot of time because it’s over now, right, he’s gone, I told you he would be, I told you he wasn’t going to make it,’ he said of Biden.

But instead he spent huge chunks of his more than an hour-long speech attacking Biden, despite no longer running against him.

Trump referenced his and Biden’s bizarre bickering about their golf handicaps during the debate, and claimed the president challenged him to a game.

‘Joe Biden, I watched him – I was always a good athlete but I don’t wanna brag – Joe Biden challenged me to a round of golf,’ he claimed.

Trump then stepped away from the lectern and mimed a series of terrible swings to mock Biden’s golf ability.

The former president claimed he offered Biden $1 million if he could score less than 100 on a round of golf, and that Biden turned him down.

‘He said he was a six (handicap) right, during the debate, and then immediately he said he was an eight, I said ‘that was quick, we keep going like this he’ll be a 30 in about two minutes’,’ he said.

Trump also made fun of Biden’s gingerly walks from stage, slow shuffles down stairs, and one time when he went to the wrong side of a stage to the stairs.

He complained his frequent mockery of Biden was taken out of context as someone told him they heard he couldn’t find the stairs at a rally.

‘I was playing and having fun imitating Joe Biden not being able to find the stairs, and they said that Trump couldn’t find the stairs off the stage,’ he said.

‘Tonight I’ll have a very bad night, I haven’t done that little routine in a long time because of that.

‘I can find the stairs, I’ll let you know when it’s my time not to find the stairs… I’ll say it’s time to go, nobody’s going to have to tell me.’

When Trump moved on to Harris, he viciously attacked her as a ‘radical left lunatic’ and claimed ‘defund the police, that was her big thing’.

‘She was thought of so badly they were just killing her and now that she’s in the position they’re trying to make her, let’s say a Margaret Thatcher,’ he said

‘I don’t think so, that’s not going to happen. Thatcher didn’t laugh like that, did she?’

Thatcher was UK prime minister from 1979 to 1990 and nicknamed the ‘Iron Lady’ for her strong will and political longevity.

‘Kamala Harris was the original Marxist district attorney she destroyed San Francisco and she will destroy our country, she will be the worst president we’ve ever had, she will be worse than Crooked Joe Biden,’ Trump continued.

Trump was particularly critical of Harris on immigration, saying she was Biden’s ‘border czar’ during the immigration crisis of the past two years.

‘She has no clue, she’s evil,’ he said, in one of at least two times in the rally he referred to Harris as ‘evil’.

‘Under border czar, millions of migrants are pouring across our border, they’re coming not just from South America – they’re coming form Africa, from Asia, the Middle East, they’re coming from everywhere,’ he claimed.

Trump has frequently pushed a false claim that Latin American countries are deliberately sending criminals and mentally ill citizens to the US, and repeated it in an attack on Harris.

‘They’re coming form prisons and jails, mental institutions, insane asylums, terrorists at levels that we’ve never seen before,’ he said.

‘They’re taking their criminals and they’re dumping them, we’re like a dumping ground. So in Venezuela, the crime is way down, it’s almost gone, the jails are half empty.’

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Here’s a story that will brighten your day and perhaps even restore your faith in humanity. It’s about how an unhoused man rescued a lost dog and gave him a little extra TLC—or tender loving care—until that dog was reunited with its owner.

And when that man was offered a little money for his trouble, he turned it down.

Now, the dog owner wants to find that Good Samaritan to say thank you.

Bob Eicholz of San Francisco walks his two whippets Wardy and Taylor often. Wherever the dogs go, they have a GPS tracker on them.

But last Saturday, the dogs were staying with a pet sitter and Wardy got loose.

“He escaped from our pet sitter’s hose. Wasn’t her fault. He jumped over the fence. Got out,” said Eicholz.

And boy, did Wardy take off-like a whippet.

“They’re very skiddish. They’re extremely fast. They can run over 30 miles an hour,” said Eicholz.

“10 minutes later, a lady captured him. But she grabbed the collars, and he backed out and she kept the collars and he ran off. So now, he is in urban San Francisco with no collars. No ID of any kind,” said Eicholz.

Wardy’s GPS tracker came off with one of those collars. He was missing for two days. Eicholz posted missing dog flyers all over the city and shared the information online.

“There were probably at one point 50 people helping me find him,” said Eicholz.

With the help of strangers, Eicholz kept tabs on where Wardy was spotted.

“He runs all over the Mission District, crosses Market Street; he goes to Hayes Valley,” said Eicholz.

Wardy ended up in the Tenderloin. Eicholz said a homeless man found the dog at a park off Eddy Street.

“The homeless man bought him a little crate, a blanket, a pad, food, dog toys and kept him for two days. This is man who has nothing, and lives in this park. And took care of our little boy,” said Eicholz. “Just makes me think you don’t realize how many kind people are out there until something like his happens.

Soon after Wardy went missing, another dog walker actually spotted him.

“I notice he had no owner; no collar and he took down the street,” said Monique Lee.

Monique Lee posted about it online and two days later got a call from a different dog walker who saw Wardy and a man at a bus stop.

That dogwalker approached the man and Wardy three days after the dog went missing.

“The man had Wardy in a little crate and blanket, and he was giving him love and care. you can tell Wardy was content with him,” said Lee.

“That’s him asleep in the crate,” said Eicholz.

The woman showed the man the missing posters and explained that Wardy had run away. The man handed over the dog.

“That’s when he said, ‘Here, take the dog. You have to take the blanket. He loves this blanket’,” said Eicholz.

Wardy is home again.

As for Eicholz, he wants to find the kind-hearted man who gave Wardy so much.

“I’d love to know more about this man,” said Eicholz. “We’re looking for him. I’d like to say ‘thank you.’ I’d like to give him a little more money or buy him something he needs –just the kindness of someone to do something like that when I’m sure he has a lot of other things on his mind.”

Eicholz has these words for the man.

“That was incredibly kind of you to do that. You didn’t have to do that. It touches my heart deeply that you took care him. Not only food but you also bought him a place to stay. Thank you,” said Eicholz.
