The Giants have won 3 in a row
A solid performance tonight from Carson Whisenhunt. He went 5 innings allowing only 2 runs
Luis Arraez homered and drove in 4 runs
Bryce Eldridge hit a home run
Willy Adames also homered
Rafael Devers had a couple of doubles and an RBI
The Giants will go for the sweep tomorrow, as they’ll send Landen Roupp to the mound against Martin Perez
Stephen Curry had 24 PTS on 88% TS in the 2nd half of G4 of the Finals.
No player in NBA Finals History has scored that many points on that high efficiency in a single 2nd half.

Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.
He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.
He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.
He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.
He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."
The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.
When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."
NFL executives, coaches and scouts picked the 8-best signings, trades and draft picks this offseason…
The 49ers made the list 2 times:
• 49ers trade a 3rd-round pick for Osa Odighizuwa
“The free agency class was weak at defensive tackle, so San Francisco tapped into the previous class to find one. This March, the Niners tried to sign interior rusher John Franklin-Myers, who agreed to terms with Tennessee. They then pivoted to Odighizuwa, who was expendable due to the Cowboys’ acquisition of Quinnen Williams in November. Getting a quality tackle for a third-round pick was considered solid value. “Good player, perfect scheme fit, good pricing, excellent contract to inherit,” an NFC executive said of why San Francisco made a sound move.”
• 49ers draft De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 33
“Many evaluators liked this pickup at No. 33, though it was questioned by fans and media members at the time as one of April’s biggest surprises. Stribling was a late riser in the process, and the wide receiver is considered an ideal fit for coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense. “He was going within the first five to 10 picks in the second round,” an NFC executive said. “That was not a reach at all. He can really play.”
George Kittle
Year 10
He needs to be a Super Bowl champion when all said and done. I don’t think I can take many more 49er greats not having a SB win under their belt
According to Raiders insider Hondo Carpenter, the 49ers have a ton of interest in trading for DE Maxx Crosby
He called the 49ers interest “nuclear hot” 👀

Bryce Eldridge is 21 years old, and teams already pitch around him with the bases loaded.
Down 2-1, he challenges a low strike call and wins. Works the count to 3-1, fouls off a pitch, then never sees another strike. Ball four.
That’s not just plate discipline. That’s respect.
Elite strike-zone awareness. Elite maturity. And a growing reputation as one of the most clutch young hitters in baseball. The Giants have something special.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them..
Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.
