Balk, bullpen come up big as SF Giants beat Gausman, Belt in win over Blue Jays

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:53:07 GMT

TORONTO — Facing two old friends Tuesday night, the Giants offered a reminder that all the magic pixie dust was still in their clubhouse.Opposed by an opener and, eventually, Alex Wood, Kevin Gausman pitched about as well as he could have hoped against the club that balked at giving him a long-term deal two offseasons ago. But the the first of only three hits he allowed over six innings came around to score and proved to be the only run for the first eight innings of a 3-0 Giants win, improving to 13-2 over their past 15 games and 10-0 away from home this month.The 10-game road winning streak is San Francisco’s longest since 1952, before moving west. No team in MLB history has gone unbeaten for an entire month with at least 12 road games; the Giants can become the first with three more wins to close the month.Brandon Belt nearly did in his former team, doubling in the eighth to put the tying run on second base with two outs, but the Giants (45-34) called on Camilo Doval, who g...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is due in court Wednesday to defend the company’s proposed $69 billion takeover of video game maker Activision Blizzard against an attempt by federal regulators to block the deal.Nadella and Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick are both scheduled to testify before U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley on the fourth day of a court hearing in San Francisco. The proceedings are likely to make or break what would be the most expensive acquisition in technology history.The hearing represents a major test of the FTC’s amped-up oversight of Big Tech under Chairperson Lina Khan, who has been outspoken about her belief that U.S. regulators were too lenient in past deals that helped increase the power of companies such as Amazon, Google and Facebook. The courtroom tussle with Microsoft comes six months after the FTC took Facebook owner Meta Platforms to court in Silicon Valley to try to stop a takeover of a virtual reality fitness c...

He struck out two and left with some discomfort.“Just didn’t feel great overall,” Kershaw said. “The last inning kind of got to me. Obviously not a lot of pitches, definitely should have gone deeper in the game. I feel bad about making the bullpen cover three. Just needed to come out right there.“I think I’m all right, I think I’ll be good for the next start but I was trying to do the right thing and I think I did. We’ll see tomorrow but for right now I don’t think it’s too serious.”Kershaw has been anchoring an injury-riddled rotation this year and his workload of late might have been a factor in him coming out early Tuesday night, manager Dave Roberts said.“We’ve pushed him the last few...
