SAN FRANCISCO — In his first week and a half in the majors, Luis Matos had just about done it all. But the Giants’ 21-year-old rookie was still seeking his first career home run.It couldn’t have come at a more opportune time.Matos lined a letter-high fastball from Merrill Kelly over the left-field wall for a two-run shot in the sixth inning Saturday that gave the Giants the lead in a 7-6 win, their 12th in their past 13 games, pulling within 1½ games of the D-backs (46-32) for first place in the NL West. At 44-33, the Giants are further above .500 than at any point in 2022.The only doubt about it was whether it would stay fair. Matos swung with such a fury that his follow through took him toward the left-handed batter’s box, where he watched the ball’s trajectory down the left-field line while still holding his bat in his left hand. He pounded his chest and blew a kiss to the sky upon touching home plate, before returning to a tunnel of high fives in the thir...Scooter, a bald Chinese Crested, is crowned World’s Ugliest Dog in Petaluma

Scooter’s fluffy ashen mohawk, long ears, wrinkly belly, slack pink tongue and backward hind legs stole the spotlight Friday night as he was named champion of the annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.After the hairless Chinese Crested pup emerged at the front of a pack chock full of grotesque challengers, he was proudly hoisted into the air by his owner, Linda Celeste Elmquist, and awarded a $1,500 grand prize.Scooter, who enjoys walks in the park and a stranger’s outstretched hand, was rescued by Saving Animals From Euthanasia (SAFE) shortly after being born with two deformed hind legs in Tucson, Arizona, according to his biography.While he can wobble along on his front two paws — often using his butt as a tripod — he was fitted for a new cart about two months ago and attends therapy to aid his mobility. Scooter’s journey from death’s doorstep to global stardom via the Sonoma-Marin Fair affirms his owner’s claims that he is “not only surviving but thriving.”“His handicap ...Doctor behind the wheel of Tesla that went over a cliff is no longer allowed to practice medicine
