changed. but we're open to discussions with people about what might work. >> mayor lee, who signed the city budget today, says he is more focused on a warriors arena and a housing bond. the u.s. olympic committee wants the bid ready by mid-september. so close, yet so far away. a bay area man just abandoned his effort to become the first person to swim from the golden gate bridge to the farallon 7 news was there in belvedere right before simon dominguez jumped into the water late last night. dominguez gave up his effort after a shark was spotted in the frigid waters near the farrelons. he once swam the english channel and admitted this was a bigger challenge. >> i'll bet. at least he's safe. we wished him well. would have been cool if he finished but he's out of the water safely. he'll try again. >> i'm sure. larry. >> what are you going to do larry? >> i'm not going anywhere where the shark is. i'll tell you that. it's the smart swimmer that gets to come back the next day. >> good point. >> there's some exciting stuff happening tonight, actually. we might be in the middle of a transition here. the giants could have sole possession of first place if the a's beat the dodgers tonight. and brett lawrie is having coming up tonight on abc 7 news at 11:00, a funeral for a fallen hero. large crowds expected tomorrow for sergeant scott lunger's memorial. the big name dignitaries who also plan to attend. plus it's a wiggle war. why bike riders are following the rules to show why they shouldn't. >> we'll explain those stories and a lot more coming up at 11:00 over on channel 7. >> this sports report is brought to you by your local toyota dealer. >> giants to talk about. >> larry's here with all the sports. >> this is a baseball wiggle war. the giants are trying to wiggle their way past the dodgers. >> so far so good. >> with some help from the a's. it's complicated. for all the talk about the giants needing another pitcher in their starting rotation, jake peavy went out and threw six scoreless against milwaukee this afternoon. at this second the giants are still tied for first place. that could change. kids, load it up. sleeping bags. the annual slumber party. this is what i'd be like. i'd be the guy, can you pull me? i'm kind of tired. i had too much ice cream. jake peavy gets the ball from hunter pence who's doing it all since he came back from the disabled list. don't test hunter pence's arm. he's out. sixth inning two on for ryan braun. swing and a miss. jake peavy six scoreless. would get a no decision because nobody could score until the seventh when pence, with a drive here to left center matt duffy trying to score all the way from first. he'll have a play at the plate. relay and he is safe. pence two hits on the day 1-0 giants. five runs in the seventh. adrianza called up not too long ago. here comes hector sanchez. throw gets away and sanchez is safe. giants take two out of three from the brewers. 5-0. 14th shutout of the year for the giants. tie the dodgers atop the nl west. both teams at 56-45 pending the outcome of the dodger game tonight. here's jake peavy right after the game. >> i look to today as really a must-win. i put that on myself. last night watching from in bed getting my rest at the end of the ball game i had that feeling that you just said that it was too good of a road trip and a homestand to end it on a sour note. especially with what we've got ahead of us going to texas, atlanta, and chicago. a's and dodgers on yasiel puig bobblehead night at chavez ravine. here it comes. there it goes. puig with a two-run shot to left off of jesse chavez. only his seventh of the year. l.a. up 3-1. a's get a run back in the fifth. brett lawrie not fooled by the mike bolsinger curveball. doubles to right center scoring ike davis. and the a's are down 3-2. remember kershaw was supposed to start, so he's out with a bad hip. he missed this game. more from lawrie in the seventh. different pitcher same result two-run single to left off j.p. howe. burns scores phegley scores. lawrie three hits and three rbis. make it a 4-3 game. erik sogard then would follow with a two-run single. so right now a's lead -- it was 6-3. now it's 6-5. dodgers have come back in the seventh. if the a's can hold on, the giants would be alone atop the a.l. west. the dodgers are reportedly adding to their rotation working on a deal to acquire pitcher mat latos and ex-giant michael morse from the marlins in exchange for three minor league pitchers. latos, 4-7 record but he's pitched well since coming back from the disabled list, has had success in the past against the giants. this deal is not official yet. it's not done. it could turn out to be a three-way transaction with atlanta. the nba champion golden state warriors deciding to promote from within, replacing alvin gentry with assistant luke walton who was on the staff this past year. gentry left to take over as the head coach of the new orleans pell coops. walton, you may remember his playing days, many years with the lakers, ten he overall with the nba, two championships as a player. working his way up the coaching ladder he's the son of a hall of famer, bill walton moving up to lead assistant, and jaron collins, a stanford man, who served this past year was a player development coach, moves into walton's spot on the bench. sounds like patriots owner bob kraft was among those who figured the tom brady suspension would be reduced if the team just accepted their punishment and went quietly on deflategate and they did not go to court to contest it. now he regrets that move. kraft was livid today with commissioner roger goodell upholding brady's four-game suspension and kraft apologized to pats fans for not continuing his own fight. >> the decision handed down by the league yesterday is unfathomable to me. i want to apologize to the fans of the new england patriots and tom brady. i was wrong to put my faith in the league. >> see how that plays out. the players union is appealing on brady's behalf. college football season's almost here. today pac-12 coaches were visiting espn. stanford not expected to be a top ten team this year but david shaw thinks his squad is going to surprise some people while cal's sonny dikes wants to improve on a 5-7 record from a year ago and the coaches both talked about their quarterbacks, kevin hogan and jerry goth. >> he's continued to mature. he's gotten more comfortable with the offense. does a good spreading the ball around. the next step is going to get his completion percentage up, we'd like him to be in the high 60s, low 70s. >> is he one of the best quarterbacks you've ever coached? >> i think so. i think he certainly has an opportunity to be. he's everything you want. he's a great leader. he's a hard worker. he's a team guy. very unselfish. but i think he played with an energy and enthusiasm that was infectious to the football team. and that's all we ever need from kevin. he plays the way he plays at the end of the year his future's bright and our future's bright. >> david shaw is pretty optimistic about kevin hogan this season. abc 7 sports brought to you by toyota. couple of updates. just in the amount of time i was talking. the dodgers have taken the lead. they just scored another two runs. they lead 7-6 against the a's. and so that would put the giants back a half a game. if the dodgers can hold on. and congratulations. david lee. he took the entire warriors team out, paid for their vegas trip when they celebrated the championship. today he bought all of the warriors in-house staff, all of the secretaries and the people in the offices, took everybody out for lunch, chipotle for everybody. courtesy of david lee. that's so classy. >> you should learn. >> i was going to say when is dan going to take somebody out at channel 7. >> we went last week. you didn't hear. >> you need to check your e-mail, larry. >> i was not invited. >> thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. for drew tuma, larry diel, always invited we proosh yourappreciate your time. okay, for this years group trip we agreed to play a game where the winner would choose the destination. unfortunately, we did not think it through when we chose the game... cul-de-sac crew trivia. [ chuckles ] i smoked you guys! but a deal's a deal. tom, you pick the destination, and we leave tomorrow. where we going, tom? here. what?
