Giants first baseman Brandon Belt comes to rest at third base, ahead of the throw to Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner. Belt's sixth inning triple scored Buster Posey
. In the second of the three-game series at Oracle Park, the G-Men fell 10-3 but would end up taking the series, 2-1.

Early season addition Kevin Pillar has provided some dramatic moments for Giants fans, most recently in Cincinnati when he robbed the Reds' Nick Senzel of a home run by extending himself above the eight-foot wall in center field to snag a Big Fly.

San Francisco Giants Report
The Cal Band was part of the pregame ceremonies prior to the Giants vs. Dodgers game at the fifth annual University of California, Berkeley Night at Oracle Park on Tuesday, April 30
.
* * *
San Francisco began last week at home facing off against their NL West rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for a three-game series. In Monday's contest, after
falling behind 2-0, Evan Longoria made contact with a base-clearing double to propel the Giants to a 3-2 win.
On Tuesday the Dodgers became the first team to earn 20 wins in the 2019 MLB season as they
defeated
the Giants, 10-3.
With a rubber match on the line, Giants manager Bruce Bochy started MadBum in Wednesday's game. Bumgarner delivered, allowing just one run over six innings with eight strikeouts. The Giants completed a walk-off victory after Buster Posey's single ended the game in the bottom
of the ninth, 2-1.
On Friday in Cincinnati the Giants fell behind 8-0 and it felt as if the Giants would continue their three-year losing streak in Cincinnati. However, San Francisco mounted the largest comeback since 1989 and overcame the eight-run deficit, defeating the Reds, 12-11. Stephen Vogt tied the game in the top of the ninth with a home run and Evan Longoria hit a go-ahead homer in the
top of the 11th. On Saturday the Giants fell 9-2.
On Sunday RHP Jeff Samardzija gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs on three consecutive pitches in the first inning to put the Giants in a 4-0 hole. To win, it appeared San Francisco would need more comeback magic and that's exactly what happened. Home runs by Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford carried the Giants to a 6-5 victory.
San Francisco is now 15-19 on the season and in last place in the NL West. The Giants visit Colorado on Tuesday for three games with the Rockies before returning to Oracle Park for a weekend
series
with the Cincinnati Reds.

Oakland A's Report
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (40) warms-up in the outfield before the game against the Texas Rangers on April 22 at Oakland Coliseum.
Making his 2019 debut, Bassitt was sharp as he kept the Rangers scoreless for five innings in the A's 6-1 win.
* * *
Oakland began the week at Boston's Fenway Park, looking to end a three-game skid. Despite an early 4-0 lead on Monday, second baseman Jurickson Profar committed a costly error on a potential inning-ending double play which led to a six-run inning for Boston. The A's were unable to respond, losing the first game of the series, 9-4.
Mark Canha was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday and the A's recalled lefty pitcher Ryan Buchter from Triple-A Las Vegas after just one game in the Minors.
Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello shut down the Athletics on Tuesday, tossing eight scoreless innings before Robbie Grossman broke up the shutout in the ninth. Final score: 5-1. Oakland extended their losing streak to six on Wednesday with a 7-3 defeat.
The Athletics ended their MLB-worst losing streak in Pittsburgh on Friday in dominant fashion. Catcher Josh Phegley led Oakland to a 14-1 victory at PNC Park with eight RBIs on four hits, the most RBIs in a single game for an A's catcher in franchise history.
Before Friday's matchup, the Athletics called up their top prospect from Triple-A Las Vegas, OF Skye Bolt. Though Bolt didn't make an appearance until the seventh inning, going 0-2 at the plate, he smacked his first major league hit on Saturday in his only at-bat. The Athletics fell 6-4 to a Pirates squad fueled by a two-homer game from Josh Bell.
Sunday was a frustrating loss as the A's went ahead, 3-1, in the top of the 13th inning only to see closer Fernando Rodney allow four runs in the bottom half, with a walk-off homer from Starling Marte sealing the comeback.
The Athletics are 15-21 and in last place in the AL West.
Oakland hopes to improves with a six-game home stand this week, starting with the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday before facing the Cleveland Indians over the weekend.

Hardwood Jazz
|
All that jazz, be it in a sports arena or a night club
|
In gyms and jazz joints, the only question that matters is: Can you play?
MJ, Dr. J, Big O, Magic, Kareem, the Iceman, Kobe, Hakeem, Tiny, Wilt, the Logo, Elgin, Larry Bird, Russell, Duncan, Moses, Earl the Pearl, Clyde and Cousy, every one of these hip hoopsters made his own music.
Billie Holiday, Charlie Mingus, Herbie Hancock, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Buddy Rich, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Etta James, Charlie Parker, Ella, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke, Cannonball Adderley, Nina Simone, Bessie Smith, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis. Who is the absolute best ever from this group?
Steph Curry is the NBA's MVI (Most Valuable Improviser). He bounces to lyrics, arcs, riffs, notes, glass kisses and angles that nobody else sees. He is hip with hops and chops.
Innovative instrumental artists and kings of the court follow the same path to greatness: their own dynamic DNA.
When these All-stars aren't being judged by the media, their contemporary challengers, stars of another time and fans, they are always working in some fortress of solitude, improving on skills that are already special.
NBA courts, no matter where the arena may be, are all the same: 94-by-50 feet with two 10-foot baskets. Over the years, hall-of-famers wrote their own masterpieces on different parts of the hardwood. A basketball arena, like a jazz club, is a three-dimensional world of creativity.
Wilt, Shaq, Bill Russell and Dikembe made the paint a place where you couldn't play any music in their house. Cousy, Stockton and Nash were happy to drop you a dime, with no questions asked. Magic, Bird, Iceman and Curry were riffing all over the court, like the best jazzmen.
The quintet on the courts resemble the great jazz groups of five. Stars don't shine as brightly without superior sidemen of skill. Talent and teamwork are in perfect balance when the magic begins.
Curry and the Dubs always amaze. Steph has redefined the game. He plays the Spalding as a finely tuned instrument. He can launch from another Zip code or lay the highest, softest, sweetest kiss higher off the glass that anyone's ever seen.
On the occasional off night or tight playoff series Steph can just nod, "KD, you feeling fifty, go for it."
Dray time to wreck the other teams rhythm. Iggy go get Jiggy with it when they aren't paying attention.
Klay time for the sweetest J in the NBA, time for some string music.
Maestro Steve Kerr keeps his talent on a Riffing Road Trip to greatness that very few have ever seen on the hardwood bandstands of arenas around the country.
Every gig or game is an opportunity to create something never heard or seen before. That's what masters do. Even hardened veterans of the hardwood or jazz sessions know when a new frontier is being crossed. Miles Davis liked to say, "Don't play what's there. Play what's not there," or "Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself." That's how the album "Kind of Blue" was created by Davis and the Warriors riffed to four consecutive NBA Finals with two championships.
The game, like the music, has seen many virtuoso performers who bring their audiences wonder, joy, surprise, tears, purity and beauty. Whether you are listening to Charlie "Bird" Parker or watching Larry Bird, there is a special sauce that these artists know how to whip up, lay down and spread out.
It does not matter whether you are Curry breaking ankles before launching a step back three from another Zip code or John Coltrane wailing outside the musical lines, these hoop hipsters and musical magicians are the coolest ever. Whether the lights go up in the arena or down in some jazz cavern, these cats are pure and in a zone that others just dream about.

Saturday, May 4, 2019 -- Ray Sheeran Field: The Pacific Rugby Premiership (PRP) ended the 2019 season on a day of highly entertaining rugby under clear skies and a steady 15-knot westerly wind. Life West took home the Cup (Championship) coming from behind to hold Belmont Shore scoreless in the second half and walk away with a solid 36-27 victory. OMBAC defeated Glendale 50-26 to finish third. Earlier Santa Monica finished last, taking the Spoon by forfeiting to SFGG, which had experienced a painful rebuilding season. Life West goes to Texas for the National Club Championship as favorites in two weeks. Above,

Sonoma Raceway -- Three Legends Scheduled to Appear
Race Fans are invited to Legends Chat d
uring Toyota/Save Mart 350 Pre-Race Show.
Pictured above: Hershel McGriff
SONOMA, Calif. -- Race fans are invited to join a celebration of Sonoma Raceway's 50th anniversary with three NASCAR legends during the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, June 23.
Ernie Irvan, Richard Childress and Hershel McGriff will be the featured guests during the pre-race Legends Chat, which will serve as the centerpiece of the Pre-Race Show Powered by Friedman's Home Improvement just hours before the green flag falls on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series main event in Sonoma.
Irvan, Childress and McGriff have each left indelible legacies in NASCAR and at Sonoma Raceway:
Ernie Irvan:
A two-time Daytona winner, Irvan earned two Sonoma victories, including one of the road course's most memorable. In 1992, he won the Save Mart Supermarkets 300 after being black-flagged for crossing the starting line ahead of pole winner Ricky Rudd. He came back to pass 41 cars to take the checkered flag. Just two years later, Irvan became the first two-time winner of a NASCAR Cup event in Sonoma. Irvan was inducted into the raceway's Wall of Fame in 2016.
Richard Childress:
Richard Childress Racing (RCR) also celebrates its golden anniversary in 2019.
RCR has accumulated 15 championships and more than 200 victories across NASCAR's top three series, including three Daytona 500 wins. The NASCAR Hall of Famer has two Sonoma victories, including Dale Earnhardt's only Cup Series road-course win in 1995.
Hershel McGriff:
McGriff competed in the 1969 Sta-Power 150 Pacific Coast Late Model Division race during Sonoma's inaugural season. He'd go on to make
31 starts in Sonoma in the Cup Series (5), Southwest Tour (6) and West Series (20); garnering three wins
.
In 2018, McGriff became the oldest racer to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned event when he drove in the K&N Pro Series West event at Tucson Speedway at the age of 90.
The best way to secure stage-front access for this special celebration is to purchase the raceway's NASCAR Total Access pass. This package includes the Q&A session with NASCAR legends, as well as a Sunday reserved seat, NASCAR Drivers' Meeting access, Pre-Race Pass for driver introductions and festivities, plus a FanVision unit for as little as $149; a savings of 20%. For fans who have already purchased their NASCAR tickets, the Pre-Race Pass can be added for $75 each.
As an additional element of its 50th anniversary celebration, Sonoma Raceway will return to its historic 12-turn, 2.52-mile road-course layout for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR weekend. The full track layout, which was originally unveiled when the raceway opened in 1968, incorporates the raceway's signature sweeping downhill corner known as The Carousel.
The Pre-Race Show Powered by Friedman's Home Improvement will also feature the popular Patriots Jet Team six-jet air show, an aerial stunt performance by Brad Wursten, skydivers, driver introductions and a dynamic anthem flyover by F-15s from the Oregon National Guard. The Total Access pass also includes exclusive access to the NASCAR Drivers' Meeting, which will be held on Turn 11 of the road course prior to the Legends Chat.

Sports Prep Star -- Catie Grace Carrington

They will enter the North Coast Section Div. I playoffs as the No. 1 seed. On the season, Carrington ranks second on the Wolves with 53 goals.
