SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – More people are getting their phone stolen in San Francisco. Many of the cases involve physical assaults and guns.These violent and brazen cell phone robberies have become more frequent in the last week or so. One man says his wife recently got her phone stolen at gunpoint.San Francisco Board Supervisor Rafael Mandelman says police are trying to find out if this is an organized crime ring. $100K a year is low-income in the Bay Area, according to new report "Some in neighborhoods I represent,” Mandelman said. “And in other parts of the city… often targeting women, often taking cell phones.""It seems like there may be a pattern that we have seen over the last few days, and it seems like these incidents may be related,” he said.Police logs from the last week show at least eight cell phone robberies. Some include being robbed at gunpoint or being physically assaulted. It’s happening all over the city in neighborhoods like the Mission, Tenderloin, Nob Hill and Ou...

A lot of good things are happening.”Jake Bird (2-1) pitched an inning and Justin Lawrence got four outs for his fifth save for Colorado on a night when pitchers struggled with control. The Rockies allowed eight walks and Los Angeles walked five.“A lot of hits out there, and when you hit guys, walk guys, give them free bases, big numbers are going happen like they did tonight,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.Mookie Betts homered and Yonny Hernández drove in three runs for Los Angeles.Michael Grove was in line for the win afte...

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 17:59:08 GMT

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN (Associated Press)OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Since arriving in the big leagues six years ago, Domingo Germán has been anything but perfect.Until now.The New York Yankees right-hander pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history Wednesday night, retiring every Oakland batter in an 11-0 victory over the Athletics.It was the first perfect game since Seattle Mariners ace Félix Hernández threw one against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012.
