5:00 pm
all resolved. the traffic impact, especially as we head into the heart of the commute hour, is significant. as you can see, that red line is just slowed or stopped traffic all across that bridge. so let's go to ktvu christien kafton with the very latest on what's happening. you know, christian, i put in how long it would take me to get from oakland to mill valley at this hour. and it's, you know, an hour and 40 minutes, a very, very long road for the people who are trying to attempt this passage across the bridge. >> absolutely. a lot of frustrated drivers out there. claudine. we were one of them. we struggled to get over here ourselves. we'll tell you more about that in just a moment. but you just talked about the lane closures here. we literally just got an update right before we went to air from bart with caltrans. he says that they are going to be opening a second lane, going eastbound. that is going to be from the marin side to the richmond side. they're going to be opening that up shortly. so those two lanes should alleviate some of the pressure, especially on the
5:01 pm
marin county side, because, as you said, it is traffic jammed in both directions at this hour. now, the damage and repair work have created, as we said, traffic jams in both directions across the richmond center fell bridge. and we did talk with caltrans earlier to get a sense of what led up to all of this and what is actually going on on the bridge at this hour. >> here's the latest this morning in lane two, heading westbound, the upper deck of the richmond san rafael bridge. we had some concrete spalling or what people would think of as a pothole about three inches wide, but it kind of made its way all the way through to about a one inch hole on the bottom. so we've had to close lane two heading westbound, the upper deck of the bridge, and lanes two and three of the lower deck in order to make this repair. so that means you've got one way traffic right now on the richmond san rafael bridge. >> now, the update is, is that they are going to open a second lane heading from the marin side
5:02 pm
to the richmond side. now, we did drive here to the toll plaza on the lower deck of the bridge this afternoon, as that emergency work was progressing, we saw crews working in a lift rig with two lanes on the lower deck closed down. again, we are hearing that a one of those three lanes is going to now be reopened. emergency repair work got underway at about noon, when caltrans crews discovered that concrete on the bottom side of the upper deck was crumbling. they said it was, quote, unsound. that work meant that traffic in both lanes was restricted. one driver we spoke with actually pulled over here at the toll plaza. after making his way through the plaza on the approach to go from the richmond side to the san rafael side, saying that this delay has already added more than an hour to his commute. >> well, i was just told that a piece of concrete fell from top deck to the bottom, so it's been a while. they're repairing it. >> and how long have you been here? >> for? about an hour and 20 minutes. so it's you know, it's quite a bit. i usually it takes
5:03 pm
me an hour to get home to santa rosa. now it's going to be like a three hour delay. so we just got to bear with it. >> now caltrans crews here expect the repair work to run to about 8 p.m, meaning it will continue to impact the evening commute, but hopefully will be completed in time for tomorrow morning's morning commute. coming back to our live shot, i'm not sure if you can make out just how thick the traffic is here behind me. these cars are stacked up. there's a lot of frustrated drivers. if there is a way to route around this, of course. see what you can do to try to get around and avoid having to cross the richmond san rafael bridge. right now it is just gridlock for drivers going in both directions. we will continue to monitor developments out here and give you an updated sense on how long that repair work is going to take. but again, the last word that we had is it could take until around 8:00 tonight. we're live in richmond. christian captain ktvu, fox two news.
5:04 pm
>> yeah, even longer to clear it up. maybe people can just get a nice dinner with friends or something for a couple of hours. this isn't the first time, christian, that we've had some concrete problems on the richmond center fell bridge. do we think this is an isolated incident? is are they doing inspections and wondering if this is going to be a bigger problem than even what we're seeing right now? >> yeah, certainly not the first time that we've had to cover a story like this. in talking with caltrans, they said, this is a 70 year old bridge. this is what happens when you have older bridges. they're out in the elements. the concrete can spall. you heard that term used. that's when the concrete pieces of it can kind of break loose. and it's almost like a pothole on the underside of the bridge needs to be repaired. this is what happens when you have 70 year old infrastructure. it needs to be repaired and maintained. >> all right. >> leads to that much longer conversation of a long term infrastructure fixes. all right. christien kafton, thank you so much for that report. well, in the south bay, a large sinkhole along interstate 880 today
5:05 pm
prompted the closure of a major off ramp in san jose. that sinkhole opened up in the northbound direction of the freeway, and that shut down the alameda exit. the highway patrol says it was first reported shortly before 1030 this morning. work crews have been on that scene for hours, the chp tells us. at this point, there is no update on when that off ramp is going to reopen. and let's take you over to highway one in santa cruz, which is expected to reopen about an hour from now. that's after a sinkhole opened up there over the weekend. this is video posted by caltrans of the repairs that were happening all day. as you can see, they had to dig up that area and then fill that sinkhole with concrete. the repairs forcing the closure of that far left lane of the southbound side near buena vista drive. drivers should expect delays in that area and should plan for extra travel time, and the roads are back open in berkeley after police activity shut down gillman and curtis streets in all directions earlier today, a helicopter was
5:06 pm
dispatched as officers responded to that scene. police have not released details about what happened, but say the situation has been resolved and there is no ongoing threat. all roads in that area have been reopened and residents are being told they can resume their normal routines. all right. we are also following a developing story of a wildfire in fairfield at this hour, forcing people out of their homes. you can see from this map there's interstate 80 and where the smoke is all happening. this started in the last half hour or so. this is near vista grande and capitola way. as of about 20 minutes ago, the city of fairfield said it had ordered evacuations to homes on palmer circle and bear creek drive and on cherry valley circle. again, this is all happening in this area, which is not far from air base parkway and interstate 80, lots of homes and businesses around that area. according to cal fire, the fire has burned about 15 acres and right now it is 0% contained. cal fire says it's assisting
5:07 pm
fairfield fire in fighting it with four engines and two hand crews. you can see the smoke there in the burned out area there, as the smoke gives us some kind of indication of where that wind is blowing. there are dozers out there. there's also a helicopter and an air tanker all assisting in this firefight. but there are homes very close to this area where this fire is continuing to spread. so we are going to follow this developing story for you, and we'll bring you more information as we receive it. and an emotional message tonight from the girlfriend of the beloved oakland high school teacher who was killed after being caught up in a chp pursuit last week. we're also hearing from the attorney of the suspect who was charged in that crash that killed marvin boomer. our crime reporter, henry lee, is live for us in oakland tonight with the very latest on this tragedy. henry. >> well, that attorney says her client is young, just 18 years old, and still yet to fully grasp the magnitude of this tragedy that killed a respected
5:08 pm
teacher who lost his life after he pushed his girlfriend to safety. >> what was in his mind to panic? no one knows. he probably doesn't really understand why he panicked. >> defense attorney roseanne torres speaking out on behalf of her client. 18 year-old eric hernandez garcia charged with crashing an infiniti after chp chase killing beloved castlemont high school teacher marvin boomer. >> he isn't aware of how serious this is. as any 18 year old, he had no drugs. he had no weapons, no guns. he never has. and he was expected to graduate high school soon. >> hernandez garcia was to have graduated saturday from a high school in oakland's fruitvale village. instead, he's at santa rita jail in dublin, charged with vehicular manslaughter, evading and hit and run. he turned 18 in march. >> he has an unformed brain, right? the studies show your brain is not fully formed as far as your reactivity and your ability to make decisions between right and wrong. >> the attorney and authorities
5:09 pm
say the infiniti was not stolen, but i've learned it was wanted on cinco de mayo. alameda county sheriff's deputy spotted the same infiniti being driven recklessly in oakland and tried to stop. >> it, and the vehicle fled from them. so at that time, they had the rear license plate. so they wrote a seizure warrant for that vehicle. we don't know who the driver was. the seizure warrant was for the vehicle itself. >> but on wednesday night, authorities say hernandez garcia was driving the same infiniti and crashed into this toyota minivan at east 21st street and park boulevard in oakland during a brief chase by the chp. after that crash, the chp says they called off the pursuit. authorities say the suspect was still driving recklessly with no officers behind him when he crashed at east 21st street and 12th avenue. the impact sheared off a hydrant that killed boomer, who pushed his girlfriend to safety. she was also hurt. in a statement, the girlfriend, who didn't want her name used, said in part, marvin gave his life to save mine. i'm still here because of him, but i lost the love of my life. i'm living with unimaginable pain,
5:10 pm
physical and emotional. let marvins legacy be honored with truth, dignity and care. now, i've learned the victim's girlfriend is herself a castlemont high graduate who signed on a full year ago to be a speaker at the school's graduation on friday. and so she honored that commitment with her arm in a sling. addressing the class of 2025 just two days after that deadly crash. now, one last note. the oakland police commission chair issued a statement saying that this death should serve as a catalyst for meaningful change as the city works with all its stakeholders to refine its pursuit policy. live in oakland henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> yes, such a tragic story. certainly important discussions are ahead. our thoughts are certainly with the victim's family and loved ones. thank you. henry. well, sunnyvale police are searching for a suspect in a deadly shooting last week. investigators say they believe 44 year-old jesus aguilera shot and killed a man who was found dead outside of a home on south wolf road on
5:11 pm
thursday. aguilera is described as five feet, 11in tall, weighing 190 pounds. he is considered armed and dangerous. if you see him, you are being asked to contact the sunnyvale department of public safety. and we're hearing from a livermore woman who says her husband was picked up by ice agents when he reported for a routine immigration status check last week in san francisco. she says the federal officials who took him into custody did so, even though he'd been following all the proper steps to get a green card. ktvu jana katsuyama spoke with the man's wife and joins us live in studio tonight with more. janet. claudine rosa lopez says her husband is 47 years old and was brought to the united states by his parents from mexico when he was 18. they have been married now 24 years and ever since have been trying to help him get. >> legal status. but last week he was suddenly seized and now is locked up in a detention center. >> he called me and he told me to contact his lawyer because he was being detained. and i was
5:12 pm
like, you're lying, right? and he was like, no. and i'm like, my god, you're lying. and he was like, no, i'm being detained. and i was like, miguel. miguel. and he just didn't answer his phone anymore. >> rosa lopez says she was left there alone outside the ice office in san francisco on tuesday, may 27th, after her husband, miguel lopez, was detained by ice agents when he had reported for a regular check in with authorities. rosa says she and her husband, miguel, have been married since 2001. she is a u.s. citizen, and miguel was brought to the u.s. by his parents from mexico city when he was 18 years old, without documents. when they tried to get him a green card, he was rejected. he received a residence card in court, but the government revoked it. since then, they have been fighting to get him legal status so he can stay with their three children and one grandchild. rosa says her husband has no criminal record. >> i know he's done everything the right way. paid his taxes. he's he's worked. he's had no problems with the police. like, yes, he made the mistake by
5:13 pm
crossing the border and claiming to be a us citizen. he was 18. i mean, what 18 year old knows, you know, and it's like he said, it wasn't my choice. i was brought here because my friends, my parents brought me. not because i decided to come. >> lopez's attorney says it is a tragedy that lopez is being detained because he has an appeal pending in district court and for more than one decade has been working to follow all the proper procedures and legal avenues. >> when we went to the ninth circuit earlier, they said that they lacked authority over the over this issue, and then supreme court refused to hear it. so basically what we are doing is that we're going to the district court because we feel there has to be an avenue, there has to be a forum where mr. lopez can seek review of this decision. >> so far, the supreme court on a few cases that it's had already, they've at least stood behind process that people do have a right to notice and a right to be heard. and we have yet to see whether or not the
5:14 pm
supreme court is going to uphold some of these new laws that they're trying to use. >> rosa says her husband has been transported to a detention center in mcfarland that's about 250 miles away, just north of bakersfield. they've been communicating by video chat, he says. there are people who have been waiting months and still have not had a hearing. reporting live from the studio jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news. >> coming up, a major crack in the case of a south bay teacher who was killed in the hallway of her school 50 years ago. why? police say they now know who took her life. [music] >> a live look there over mount diablo this afternoon where we have a warmer conditions in most areas, although still nice and seasonal for most. i'll have a look at what you c expect for
5:17 pm
a san jose teacher, was found stabbed to death in a hallway of her school, and for decades, her case went unsolved until today. nearly 50 years later, investigators now say they finally know who committed the crime. the santa clara county da's cold case unit announced today it located a relative who says the killer confessed to them, but it stayed silent. ktvu fox two reporter mark sayer is live at the da's cold case office in palo alto with those details. mark. >> well, claudine, this homicide occurred on the campus of branham high school in south san jose back in 1978, and the perpetrator, who has now been formally named, has been a suspect essentially the entire time. cold case detectives only in the last month located a
5:18 pm
relative who had heard a confession and never spoke up. it was june 16th of 1978, when the body of teacher diane peterson was found in a hallway near her classroom at branham high school. it was the day after school had let out for the summer, and peterson was on campus, wrapping up the year. >> she was killed with a single stab wound, and a student at the time was was walking by and actually saw miss peterson and heard her cry for help. >> that student was able to help police create this sketch of the suspect, but the perpetrator now named in the case, harry nickerson, was never a student at branham. what he was doing on the campus and the motive for the killing remain unknown. detectives at the time speculated the teacher may have stumbled upon a drug deal. >> mr. nickerson was identified as a suspect very early on in the investigation. he was arrested on a totally unrelated case four days after diane's murder, and when he went to the
5:19 pm
police department, he spontaneously accused the police officers of trying to pin the murder of the teacher on him. >> in the 1980s, another witness told police about a confession and a very unusual knife. >> and he showed me the knife that he used. and mr. according to the witness, mr. nickerson carved the words teacher dear into the knife handle. >> nickerson died in 1993, but in recent years the cold case unit reopened this case and when forensic evidence went cold, they went looking for any living relatives of nickerson using old fashioned detective work. >> it was very unusual. it's both surprising and refreshing and also encouraging that old fashioned police work can still solve crime. >> in a statement, the campbell union high school district said though the events of this case took place decades ago and prior to our current leadership, we recognize the seriousness of the incident and the impact it may have had on those connected to the school at the time. we hope
5:20 pm
this resolution brings peace and closure to the victim's family and to all of those affected. now, prosecutors would not release the exact relationship between the relative who told them about the confession. and mr. nickerson. they do say, though, that this relative and others who had heard confessions over the years all had specific details of the investigation that would only have been known by the killer and by investigators. reporting live in palo alto. i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> massive wildfires burning across canada are prompting an air quality advisory here in the bay area. the smoke from these fires is being pushed south by the wind, leading to hazy conditions across the u.s. the bay area air quality district says people may notice some haze here in the bay area today and tomorrow. so if you are someone or know someone with a respiratory illness, seniors and children as well may want to avoid that exposure. the fires in canada have burned more than 3.5 million acres. all right,
5:21 pm
turning now to the oakland estuary. taking a live look at what is a very pretty day that people enjoying some time on the water at this 5:00 hour. ktvu meteorologist rosemary oroczo is here. it is cooler this week than it was over the weekend. so that's a that's welcome for many. >> yes. and we're going to hold steady with these temperatures as we get into the next several days. but yes, you can kind of see a little bit of haze out there as we take a look over the calaveras reservoir. we have the mostly sunny skies over most of the bay area, even along the coast. a little bit of information here on that fire. we are tracking out towards the fairfield, the vista grande grande fire. 74 degrees. a west wind to 22mph. relative humidity 53%. so relative humidity. not too bad. not critically dry, obviously, and the temperature? not bad either. really. it is the wind that is the bigger concern of the three at this point, as we know it just helps to fan. the flames could start
5:22 pm
new fires and it helps to push that fire along. getting into the evening hours. the winds are expected to remain breezy, will let up a little bit and relative humidity will continue to climb as the temperatures continue to cool off. outside of that, again, the air quality could be an issue for some areas. we are good to moderate across the region with a nice sea breeze at the surface, so even if you're seeing that haze high up at the surface, we tend to have some pretty good air out there for today as well as tomorrow. and this onshore breeze set up is expected to last into the next several days, temperature wise at low 60s right now in san francisco to low 70s in walnut creek. temperatures bounce back just a little bit this afternoon. and in areas like napa, notably warmer day for you at eight degrees warmer compared to yesterday and sfo up by seven. we do have that onshore breeze though, and it is gusting quite strongly in some areas, including out towards travis air force base in fairfield, where
5:23 pm
the gusts are 31mph, oakland reporting a gust to 35. i'll have a better look at what we can expect as we head into the evening hours tomorrow, as well as the rest of the week. coming up. >> okay. thank you. rosemary. well, after school programs in one east bay school district could be getting more expensive. why? the berkeley unified school district says it may have to raise its f it's time for the c.o.a.t. debate. who's the greatest cashbacker of all time? i earned 1.5% on finger paint just so you can touch the paint. got 3% on barbecue, too. that ain't the only thing that's getting smoked.
5:26 pm
californians could pay the price. the governor is proposing reinstating the asset test for medi-cal and in-home services. that test would disqualify recipients whose assets exceeded more than $2,000. and that's a move aimed at cutting soaring costs. but critics warn it could hurt the most vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities who rely on medi-cal to get by. the berkeley unified school district could soon raise fees for its after-school programs. the district is considering a possible 20% fee hike to cover rising costs, which includes salaries for its nine after-school coordinators. it may also create a new tier for high income families while lowering its current sibling discount for its after-school programs. berkeley unified has been looking for ways to raise revenue to close a $7 million budget deficit, and oakland's free summer meals program for kids is returning this summer thanks to private donations. today is the first day that the program is open. the city's budget crisis had many families
5:27 pm
concerned that the program would not be able to give kids meals for the summer, as it has for 40 years. those meals are now being offered at libraries and other city run sites, but not that 20 plus nonprofits that took part in the past. the program is available to all children under 18 and to some adults with disabilities. it will run through mid-august, and a local nonprofit is already planning for back to school season as students head for their summer break. today was the kickoff for santa clara county families to register for sacred heart's annual pack, a back pack, a backpack drive. the san jose organization provides essential school supplies to thousands of students. people who are in need can sign up on the organization's website. organizers say the impact on the community is powerful. >> pack a bag helps our kids walk into schools feeling confident, proud and ready to learn. that's the sense of belonging that someone sees that they matter. last year, we gave about 3800 backpacks. this year
5:28 pm
we are expecting even more families. >> required documents include a photo id and proof of each child's age, such as a birth certificate, immunization record, or medical card. sacred heart says it is always looking for donations or volunteers to help. well, it passed the house, but now what the president calls his big, beautiful bill faces the senate. and at least some gop law kers say
5:29 pm
with dupixent, stay ahead of moderate-to-severe eczema. as you welcome the feeling of touch with clearer skin and less itch. the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, helps heal your skin from within. severe allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for face, mouth, tongue or throat swelling, wheezing or trouble breathing. tell your doctor of new or worsening eye problems, like eye pain or vision changes, skin symptoms, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor. ask your doctor about dupixent. as prospectors, we know ourselves a boom. without talking to your doctor. so, when the xfinity wifi started booming, we rushed in. booming wifi deserves a booming phone from xfinity mobile! and you can upgrade twice a year! whether you needya one. -where's my phone? or just wantchya one! this one's even golder!
5:30 pm
5:31 pm
updated. this is a developing story for you right now, as you can take a look at this picture. what you're looking at from this helicopter is the vista grande fire that is burning in solano county, specifically in the fairfield area, and you can see how it is burned. the hillside there. but if you look closer, you can see where the homes are. and that is the concern. there are evacuations underway at this hour. we have gotten some new numbers. 50 acres is the new number. it is still 0% contained. and we still don't know the cause of this fire. but the concern right now are the homes and the people in the path of the fire. so there are three evacuation areas that are being cleared out right now, getting those residents to safety while the firefight continues. you can see the wind in this area kind of blowing that smoke. so we know palmer circle, bear creek drive, cherry valley circle, those are some of the neighborhoods that are being affected by this. this is also
5:32 pm
not that far from interstate 80 from air base parkway and travis. those are the areas that we're talking about here. but as you can see, all those neighborhoods around here, this is what they're going to be concerned about as we continue to watch this still burning fire. all right. turning now to the trump presidency and president donald trump's legislative agenda and the so-called big beautiful bill, which is now in the hands of the senate. this spending bill, though facing an uphill battle against some members of the president's own party. fox's molly henneberg reports. >> senate majority leader john thune isn't just fighting democrats to get president trump's big, beautiful bill across the finish line. he's also trying to convince some members of his own party who, like many aspects of the bill but think it includes too much government spending. overall. >> it has to stop. and this is our this is our only moment. again, it's been unprecedented level spending. there's no justification for 4.4 to $7 trillion in just six years.
5:33 pm
>> but president trump's treasury secretary is confident the bill will make it out of the senate, perhaps with some changes. >> everyone said that speaker johnson would not be able to get this bill out of the house with his slim majority. he got it out. leader thune has a bigger majority. >> republicans could lose three members and still have enough votes to pass some version of the big beautiful bill, with vice president j.d. vance casting a tie breaking vote. senate democrats are roundly criticizing the measure, which includes changes to medicaid. >> well, this republican budget bill is an absolute disaster for the country, in particular for middle class and poor people. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer calls it, quote, one ugly bill and says democrats will, quote, fight it with everything. we've got. senate republicans who support the measure are hoping to get it to the president by july 4th in washington. molly henneberg, fox news. >> the white house says a call between president trump and chinese president xi jinping
5:34 pm
will likely happen this week as trade tensions rise. both countries are accusing one another of breaking a tariff truce signed last month to reduce taxes on goods. china says the u.s. is provoking new economic and trade friction by restricting ai chip exports and revoking chinese student visas. democrats in washington say lawmakers should step in. >> congress could vote to repeal all of these absurd tariffs. but instead, again, we have so many republican members of congress who are too afraid of angering donald trump. >> commerce secretary howard lutnick says president trump will, quote, work this out. china is promising forceful measures if the two countries cannot get the tariff truce back on track. a runway construction project at newark liberty international airport in new jersey has wrapped up ahead of schedule and is expected to help alleviate flight issues at that troubled airport. the $121 million construction on one of
5:35 pm
newark's three main runways wrapped up almost two weeks early. the airport has been plagued by cancellations and delays in recent months. the completion of the project is expected to ease flight limits there. but there are ongoing concerns that a shortage of air traffic controllers will continue to lead to flight problems. >> make changes, you know, to the infrastructure of air traffic control. it's going to take time. >> federal officials say more than a dozen experienced air traffic controllers are in training, and are expected to be certified in the coming months. new searches are underway in portugal this week in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of british toddler madeleine mccann. the three year old vanished from a resort back in 2007 at the request of german prosecutors. portuguese police are leading the effort near the town of lagos. the main suspect, christian brueckner, is a german man currently in prison for an unrelated rape case. he denies any involvement and no charges
5:36 pm
have been filed in the mccann case. the united nations secretary general is demanding an independent investigation into the deaths of dozens of palestinians near an american backed humanitarian aid site. gaza officials say more than 30 people died and some 170 were injured due to an israeli attack in rafah yesterday. the israeli government is denying any involvement. the palestinian victims were receiving food at the distribution site. the israeli military says none of its troops fired on civilians in that region. israel is accusing hamas of planting false rumors. we are learning of a second round of peace talks between russia and ukraine this morning, that they lasted less than an hour. officials with the turkish government organized those negotiations. an agreement was reached to exchange thousands of dead and seriously wounded troops. but there were no breakthroughs toward the cease fire. the negotiations come after surprise drone attacks from ukraine took out over 40 russian warplanes inside russian
5:37 pm
territory. in a briefing today, the president of ukraine called on allies to issue new sanctions against russia. >> the istanbul meeting brings nothing that clearly means strong new sanctions are urgently, urgently needed. >> ukraine has proposed another round of talks between june 20th and the 30th to try to end that three year old war. a bipartisan bill ramping up sanctions on russia is making its way through the u.s. senate. [music] >> well, we're just about an hour from first pitch here at oracle park, where the giants get a player back from injury that they hope wl ve the
5:39 pm
5:40 pm
as relieved head coach gavin glinton and assistant coach jesse cormier of their duties. in a statement, team president lindsey boren said in part, the start to the season on the field has not matched the momentum we built off the field. our expectations for on field performance are much higher than we currently stand. we strongly believe in the group of players we've assembled, and we're confident in their ability to compete in the usl championship. the team says it will announce a new head coach soon, and the san francisco giants back home tonight for their fifth homestand of the season, this one against the san diego padres. the giants, just two
5:41 pm
games back on the padres in the nl west. ktvu bailey joins us now from the field at oracle park. and bailey giants struggling a bit on offense, but certainly hoping to get help from a player who's coming back after an injury. >> yeah, that's right claudine, they're getting gerard encarnacion back after this injury that he has recovered from his hand is feeling much better. he did just tell us that he hasn't played at all throughout the regular season, but he looked very good in spring training. and as you mentioned there in a bit of that offensive slump. so that is something that they will look to him for. >> guys could start to take off. and you know, gerard could get hot. and you know we're just based on the way the offense has been here recently. we're going to try to get the most productive guys out there and give ourselves the best chance offensively. >> now the giants are looking at the series as not necessarily pivotal. they rather look at it as an opportunity to return
5:42 pm
home, hit that reset button, hopefully find their bats. although it is pretty windy out here at oracle park this evening. as i mentioned, we did just talk to encarnacion. he told us he's feeling confident. he is feeling good. he is ready to get back out on the field. shed off any rust he may have and make his presence felt here. as you heard from bob melvin, they are just about ready to kind of do anything with this lineup. of course they don't want to shake things up too much, but they do want to get their offense back on track, and they are hoping that gerard encarnacion can sort of help them do that. first pitch here is at 645. so coming up and i think just about an hour or so, the padres taking bp right now, their bats look to be extremely hot. so hopefully some of that can rub off on the giants here tonight. claudine. >> all right. looking forward to the game. thanks, bailey. well coming up, you probably already know the importance of wearing sunscreen, but some people are turning to another method. they are eating their skin protection. but is it safe?
