SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have been mathematically eliminated from the postseason with a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.Though the official MLB standings website have the Giants at one loss away from elimination, the team’s only shot to get close to a Wild Card berth would be to win out their final four games and reach a tie with the Chicago Cubs in which case the Cubs hold the head-to-head tiebreaker and all other tiebreaker scenarios don’t fall in their favor, according to MLB. The official standings website doesn’t account for tiebreakers.This is the fourth time the Giants have missed the playoffs since Farhan Zaidi took over as president of baseball operations — their 107-win division title in 2021 marks the only postseason berth. It’s a disappointing finish for a team that was 12 games over .500 in early August and that spiraled out of contention in the last two months having lost 14 of their last 17 road games.

CHICAGO (AP) — There is Shohei Ohtani, and then there is the rest of baseball’s soon-to-be free agents.With the season winding down and the playoffs coming up, it’s almost time for major league teams to go shopping once again. And there is one player that is sure to dominate the conversation until he makes a decision.It looks as if Ohtani is going to the open market after another stellar season with the Los Angeles Angels. The Japanese slugger is the favorite for the AL MVP award after batting .304 with 44 homers, 95 RBIs, eight triples and 20 steals. The right-hander also went 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 starts on the mound.The questions surrounding Ohtani’s free agency once centered on the money and length of a contract that could set multiple financial records for the sport, and exactly which teams might be willing to go into that territory to secure his services.Those questions remain, but the situation has grown more complicated than it was as late as the All-S...Lugo, Soto keep Padres’ slim playoff hopes alive with 4-0 win over Giants

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO — Una madre mexicana protegió valientemente a su hijo después de que un oso negro subió a la mesa en la que pasaban un día de campo y, a tan sólo centímetros de ellos, devoró los tacos y enchiladas con los que iban a festejar el cumpleaños del adolescente.Silvia Macías, de Ciudad de México, había viajado al Parque Ecológico Chipinque, en las afueras de la ciudad norteña de Monterrey, para celebrar el cumpleaños 15 de su hijo Santiago, quien tiene síndrome de Down.Poco después de que se sentaron a comer, el oso llegó y devoró papas a la francesa, enchiladas, tacos y salsa. Su amiga Ángela Chapa grabó un video en el que se ve a Macías permanecer estoica a unos cuántos centímetros de distancia de la boca del oso mientras abraza y le cubre los ojos a Santiago. Agachó la mirada para evitar hacer cualquier cosa que el animal pudiera considerar una amenaza.“Lo más grave era que Santiago se fuera a asustar”, recordó Macías el martes durante una entrevista con The Associated...Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth by up to $2.2 billion, New York judge rules

NEW YORK — A state judge Tuesday found Donald Trump and his company liable for fraud for inflating his net worth in order to deceive banks and insurers, resolving one of the key claims in a civil fraud lawsuit brought by the New York state attorney general just days before a trial is set to start.Attorney General Tish James’ office “has submitted conclusive evidence” that the former president and his co-defendants overvalued their assets by between $812 million and $2.2 billion from the years 2014 to 2021, the judge, Arthur Engoron, wrote in a court filing. “Even in the world of high finance, this Court cannot endorse a proposition that finds a misstatement of at least $812 million to be ‘immaterial.’”As part of his ruling, the judge canceled the business certificates of all of the defendants, which include the Trump Organization itself and numerous LLCs connected to the company, as well as the business certificates of any entity “controlled or beneficially owned by” Trump, his adul...Four sexual assaults reported at Cal State San Marcos during fall semester
