>> reporter: that's right. good morning, everybody. the giants will play the chicago cubs tomorrow night in the windy city, game time 6:15 pacific time. the question is, will conor gillaspie be in the line-up? the unlikely hero was playing last night only because eduardo nunez was hurt. the pitchers duel between noah syndergaard and madison bumgarner indeed lived up to the hype. scoreless top of the sixth giants with a runner on second. brandon belt thought he drove

in the game winner but no! curtis granderson, not so much. same score 8th inning runner at second but cabrera lined it right back to "mad-bum" to end the inning. so we go to the ninth. conor gillaspie spring training invitee only in the line-up because of injury, blasts a go- ahead three-run home run and that would stand to be the difference. go ahead three-run shot 3-0 behind madison bumgarner who just like the 2014 wild card game threw a complete game shutout. >> we had a battle to get here. we had to play well in the last two series. had to get a sweep there at the end just to get here and that's all you ask is a shot and you know, you never know with these guys. as you know, you know, they find a way. and so, you know, we're looking forward to the next series and it's good to be moving on, trust me. >> game one again tomorrow night.

this incident is one of many reports of clown sightings and threats of violence prompting warnings across the country. yesterday, a 14-year-old in phoned and a 19-year-old from glendora were both arrested in separate incidents on suspicion of criminal threats. >> back to concord, did police catch the clown who tried to grab that baby girl? >> reporter: no. he was last seen running down willow pass road. police are trying to track down surveillance video. it may be a copycat crime after all the creepy clowns threats made on social media. live in the newsroom, lisa chan, kpix 5. all eyes on hurricane matthew which is over the bahamas and expected to reach florida tonight. the storm has topped sustained winds up to 125 miles per hour. matthew hit the island nation of haiti as a category 4 hurricane tuesday cause destruction and more than 2 dozen deaths in that region.

now is a blasting of this hurricane once it passes through haiti, the first direct hit on haiti since cleo in 196 had. it moves past cuba already causing some devastation there. notice a category 3 hurricane, but what a hurricane needs is warm waters to regather its strength and momentum and that's what's going to happen as it makes tracks toward the state of florida right now. again, it's getting closer to the state of florida at its closest peak, later on this afternoon, perhaps potential landfall in the overnight hours through friday morning and then its projected path is up as it jogs around the state of georgia with ten inches of rain and possibility strong storm surge up to 9 feet. that means if you are standing on the roof of your home the water will be at that level. so obviously, we need to monitor that potentially dire situation in florida, georgia and the carolinas. live weather camera looking out from the transamerica pyramid past the embarcadero towards the calm bay waters where the

to be safe but we should go further than that. >> reporter: all right. so this law which takes effect in january if you are in law enforcement, you must do one of three things in your personal car and your take-home car. you must lock up your gun in your trunk or lock box and hide that from view or put it in a lock box that's attached to your vehicle. if you don't, you could face a fine up to $1,000. the barbara boxer that they are going to be using simple -- the lock boxes that they are going to be using similar to this one right here. the santa clara sheriff and the lawmaker who authored the bill are going to show off the lock boxes to the media around 10:00 this morning. live in san jose, maria medina, kpix 5. police in san leandro say they shut down a big marijuana operation. they spent three months on the bust. they say they found 2,000 plants growing inside four different houses all of it worth about $400,000.
