SF Giants nearly no-hit in second straight loss to Cubs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:59 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Mitch Haniger doubled in the eighth inning, averting a no-hitter, but held hitless for more than half the game for the second time in the past week, the Giants on Saturday were not able to awaken their bats in time to pull off the come-from-behind win.Haniger’s double and a walk to Michael Conforto in the second inning were the only base runners the Giants managed against Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks, who flirted with what would have been the first no-hitter by an opponent in Oracle Park’s 23-year history, in their second straight loss to the Cubs, 4-0.Hendricks needed only 94 pitches to mow down the Giants for eight innings, only giving way to a reliever after San Francisco mustered its first hit in the eighth, and was reminiscent of Greg Maddux for more reasons than his pitch count. The 33-year-old right-hander from Newport Beach masterfully mixed and matched his four-pitch arsenal, not registering one reading on the radar gun of even 90 mph.Often str...

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — After a full day of traversing hiking trails here, search parties failed to locate a Stanford biology professor who failed to return from a hiking trip and missed an important court hearing in his domestic violence case.According to a social media post by the sister of 44-year-old Hunter Bryan Fraser, searchers hiked 70 miles of trail Friday in a thus-far fruitless attempt to locate the missing professor.
