Anomalous inning from DeSclafani sinks SF Giants vs. Nationals in second straight loss

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:27:26 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Nationals had a clear plan, and they used it to slice and dice Giants starter Anthony DeSclafani for five runs before San Francisco even came to bat.Leadoff hitter Lane Thomas began the game by taking ball one, and the Nationals wouldn’t leave the bats on their shoulders many more times. Thomas connected on the next pitch for a single into left field. The next batter, Luis Garcia, singled on the next pitch. Not a single National saw more than four pitches in the first inning, but seven of the at-bats ended in hits, five of whom crossed the plate by the time DeSclafani recorded three outs.The early hole proved too large for the Giants (15-19) against Nationals rookie starter Jake Irvin, who tossed 6⅓ shutout innings in his second major-league start and sent San Francisco to its second straight loss, 5-1, in front of 20,502 fans at Oracle Park, the second-lowest announced attendance of the season.“It happened very quick,” said DeSclafani, who exha...

HONG KONG (AP) — The first British minister visiting Hong Kong in five years said his country will not “duck” its historic responsibilities to people living in its former colony while engaging with China in areas they share common interests. The remarks by Dominic Johnson, minister of state in the Department for Business and Trade, were published in an opinion piece in the South China Morning Post on Tuesday.

The declaration included a promise to retain Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms for 50 years after it was returned to China’s rule in 1997. Following the introduction of the sweeping securi...
