The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers renewed their storied rivalry Friday at Oracle Park in San Francisco, the Dodgers coming out on top 2-1 behind a stellar pitching performance by last year’s American League Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer, his record ascending to 5-2 with an ERA of 1.98. Alex Wood took the loss for the Giants, his record dipping to 5-1 with an ERA of 1.93. Bauer struck out eleven, while Wood struck out seven. You might say tonight was a pitchers’ duel. You would be correct in doing so.
The loss lowered the Giants’ record to 28-17, still good enough for a first place tie with the San Diego Padres who have won seven in a row and nine of their last ten. The Dodgers are one game back, having won five in a row and, like the Padres, nine of their last ten games.

House backs commission on Jan. 6 riot over GOP objections
WASHINGTON (AP) â The House voted Wednesday to create an independent commission on the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, sending the legislation to an uncertain future in the Senate as Republican leaders work to stop a bipartisan investigation that is opposed by former President Donald Trump.
Democrats say an independent investigation is crucial to reckoning what happened that day, when a violent mob of Trump s supporters smashed into the Capitol to try and overturn President Joe Biden s victory. Modeled after the investigation into the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the legislation would establish an independent, 10-member commission that would make recommendations by the end of the year for securing the Capitol and preventing another insurrection.
