OAKLAND — There were a trio of occasions on Friday night where the Marlins seemed poised to scratch across, at the minimum, a run or two against JP Sears. All three times, Sears, with a little help from his defense, slammed the door en route to turning in one of his finer starts of the year. On a relatively lively evening at the Oakland Coliseum, Sears tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings, Brent Rooker hit his sixth home run, Lucas Erceg recorded his second save and the Athletics (16-17) bested the Marlins, 3-1, to win their fifth straight game. “JP’s done a nice job of controlling the emotions,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “He’s done a nice job of recognizing when it gets to spiraling that he needs to focus on making and executing a pitch and getting an out.” The outing was a bounceback for Sears, who allowed seven earned runs, tied for the most he’s surrendered in a single start, to the Orioles across 6 1/3 innings in his last appearance. If there was a theme for Sears on Friday night, it was his

Former Trump aide Hope Hicks delivers riveting testimony in “hush money” trial; The infectious spirit of a beloved Tennessee crossing guard

PHILADELPHIA — Facing the stiffest test of his short career as a starting pitcher, the biggest impact Jordan Hicks made Friday night against the Phillies wasn’t anything he did on the mound. It was his delay getting off of it. With the speedy Trea Turner standing on second base with one steal already under his belt, Hicks remained stationary when his full-count splitter to Bryce Harper popped out of Tom Murphy’s glove. Turner advanced to third, saw home plate vacant and made a dash for it. Hicks realized, but it was already too late. Replay review confirmed Turner’s right foot slid across the plate just ahead of an acrobatic attempt at a tag from the pitcher, and that might as well have put the game out of reach for the Giants. It was the Phillies’ fourth run, a total San Francisco failed to reach for the eighth consecutive game in a 4-3 loss. “That was the least of my worries today,” said Hicks, who failed to complete five innings for the first time this season and was handed his first loss, allowing four runs (two

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A man has been arrested after hundreds of dead and live animals were discovered in deplorable conditions in Laton. The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office arrested 41-year-old Carl Mendes Friday at a home on Mt. Whitney Avenue and Chestnut Street. Deputies say somebody passing through the area noticed the property and called the Sheriff’s Office. When Action News crews arrived on the scene, you could smell the stench from the property. When deputies arrived, they found the property with close to 300 animals living in “total disarray” and hundreds of other dead animals. The animals include pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and more. Mendes was arrested on child neglect charges because he has four teenagers living at the home with him. Deputies say he will likely face animal neglect charges as well.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A new cover to protect those who have risked their lives to serve our country. “I just personally can’t thank the community to come together and help us,” said VFW Post 8900 member, Thomas Richardo. Friday, the VFW Post 8900 received a $50,000 check from Chevron and $150,000 check from the city of Fresno. Last July the roof came crumbling down, causing damage inside and outside. Fire investigators say the age of the building and weight of the A-C units likely caused the roof to cave in. For veterans at the post, they were unsure what would happen next. “I’ve discussed it with other veterans and we really didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Richardo. “When this roof collapsed it ripped my heart out because I had just become the commander for three weeks,” said VFW Post 8900 Commander, Willie Tate Jr. Tate Jr. says when insurance was not going to be able to cover it, he never thought just 10 months later they would be where they are now. “It was said when it happened that we would

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Around 4:30 Thursday afternoon, Fresno Police say they got reports of men shouting and taping up fliers at Temple Beth Israel in Northwest Fresno. Those men are now identified as 32-year-olds Christopher Avila, Daniel Watson and Colin Laurila. “It’s keeping people on edge, which is not where we want to be,” Temple Beth Israel Rabbi Rick Winer said. Police say when the men were approached by staff, they started quoting Bible verses and questioning their beliefs — eventually threatening the employees if they were to take the signs down. “We got through some of the demonstrations in Fresno peacefully, and that was nice, and then here on campus, someone decided to violate our sanctuary here, and it’s unnerving,” Rabbi Winer said. “The nice thing is there was no damage.” Officers say the men were involved in a similar incident at another place of worship before the one at the Temple Beth Israel. Similar fliers were found at St. Anthony’s of Padua, a Catholic church on Bullard and Maroa Avenues, where the group was detained and arrested. “There’s no indication at this

PHILADELPHIA — In search of offense, the Giants lost one of their most productive hitters in the second inning of their series opener Friday night against the Phillies. As Alec Bohm’s walk-up music rang through Citizens Bank Park, catcher Patrick Bailey motioned to the Giants dugout. He requested the training staff and appeared to tell them, “I’m dizzy.” The catcher accompanied head trainer Dave Groeschner and manager Bob Melvin back to the dugout and was replaced by Tom Murphy. The Giants announced midway through the game that Bailey was being evaluated for blurry vision. After the game, Melvin said Bailey was “doing a little better” and not in concussion protocol. “He had some blurry vision, so obviously we were going to be proactive about that,” Melvin said. “The doc saw him and we’re monitoring him right now.” Nothing immediately preceding Bailey’s exit suggested a concussion or any other injury. The previous inning, he was struck in the face mask by a foul ball off Bohm’s bat but remained in the game for the final batter of the first inning and the first two batters of
