SAN FRANCISCO – It happens in other towns to other teams. Honestly, it does.

It just seems like the San Francisco Giants have a special knack for finding ways to drain the Dodgers of their life blood with a series of paper cuts. The decisive run in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss at AT&T Park is the latest example.

“Flare base hit, the wild pitch then (Buster) Posey gets him over and they get him in. They manufactured a run right there,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recapped.

“If you look at some of the quality of contact these first two games, they’ve found some outfield grass when they really haven’t squared the ball up. That’s baseball. But when they do get a guy in scoring position, they manage to manufacture. They do. To their credit, they put the ball in play. You get those guys – Posey and (Brandon) Crawford and (Brandon) Belt – they’ll find a way to put it in play.”

A solo home run by Chris Taylor leading off the top of the sixth tied the score at 1-1, Rich Hill and his work-of-friction middle finger having survived five innings in his most recent return from the DL.

But the Dodgers could do no more against Ty Blach, stranding runners at the corners to end that inning. Like Matt Cain a night earlier, Blach seems to save his best for the Dodgers. In four career games against them (three starts), Blach has a 1.17 ERA (three earned runs in 23 innings).

So the game was still tied when Belt led off the bottom of the sixth with a ground ball onto the outfield grass. With the Dodgers shifted to the right against the left-handed Belt, Taylor got to the ball but fell to the grass and wasn’t able to make a strong throw to first. Belt was safe.

He moved to second on a wild pitch that Austin Barnes couldn’t smother and third when Posey gave himself up, grounding out to the right side. Crawford completed the small-scale vivisection, singling over the drawn-in infield.

The Giants were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position in the game. Crawford’s single was the lone hit and it was the difference on a night when Roberts tried to make a meal out of the leftovers in his fridge.

The Dodgers manager elected to sit two slumping left-handed hitters – Corey Seager (.216 in May) and Cody Bellinger (7 for his past 32) – against Blach and also gave Yasmani Grandal (a nine-game hitting streak) the night off in advance of Wednesday’s day game.

That left Kike’ Hernandez, Barnes and Yasiel Puig (who dragged a .171 average and .195 slugging percentage against left-handed pitching into the game) to man the middle of the lineup.

It was Hernandez’s first start as a cleanup hitter in his professional career (major leagues or minors) and he at least acquitted himself well, going 2 for 4. But the fifth through ninth spots in the Dodgers’ lineup were a black hole that sucked any air out of the offense. Those spots were a combined 0 for 18, including 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position.

“Yeah, we didn’t get any production down there tonight,” Roberts said. “In Bellinger’s case, playing left field, Guti (Franklini Gutierrez) had a good night. Then you look at Corey and Kike’ swung the bat well. So those two guys that replaced them, played well.

“I don’t know if there’s a whole lot we could have done really.”

On the positive side for the Dodgers (who have now lost 20 of their past 26 at AT&T Park), Hill turned in five solidly-calloused innings. After bouncing a 72-mph curveball off Denard Span’s helmet and committing a balk in his first six pitches of the game, Hill allowed just one run on a solo home run by Belt over his five innings, striking out six.

“The finger was good so there were no issues there,” said Hill, who went on the DL after each of his previous two starts this season. “It’s just good to get back out there, honestly.”

TUSTIN — A man in his car was shot by police Tuesday night, after a nearly two-hour standoff during which he displayed a handgun and ultimately fired on officers, police said.

The man’s condition is unknown. After the shooting, officers gave the man medical aid before an ambulance took him to a local hospital, said Lt. Bob Wright of the Tustin Police Department.

No officers were injured.

Police responded to a call of a suicidal man around 7 p.m. in the 16200 block of Main Street and, when they arrived, found the man sitting in his car in an alleyway behind an apartment complex, Wright said. The complex appeared to be the Tustin Parc apartments, which are just south of the Santa Ana Zoo and Prentice Park.

When officers tried to contact him, the man displayed a handgun and a standoff ensued at 8:56 p.m., with multiple officers arriving as backup.

“Nearly our entire department responded,” Wright said.

Officers tried talking to the man, whose name and age is unknown, and issued verbal commands for “a couple of hours” asking him to surrender,  Wright said.

The man then fired off several rounds at the officers, Wright added, and the officers returned fire. It is unknown how many times the man was shot.

The Orange County District Attorney’s Office has been notified about the shooting, Wright said. Per policy, the D.A.’s Office will investigate whether the officers were justified in shooting the man.

At this point, none of the officers involved have been put on administrative leave or desk duty, as is common practice after police shootings, Wright said.

ANAHEIM — Albert Pujols reached out, Leury Garcia reached up, and the Angels walked off the Chicago White Sox, 7-6, in 11 innings Tuesday.

A bizarre win, the Angels’ third straight, ended on a bizarre play.

“As soon as I hit the ball,” Pujols said, “I knew the game was over.”

With the bases loaded against White Sox closer David Robertson, Pujols reached out and poked a fly ball to center field, where Garcia was playing shallow. The ball had plenty of distance to serve as a sacrifice fly — except the ball caromed off Garcia as he ran back on the ball. The play was scored a single and Pujols had his third RBI as Ben Revere scored from third base.

The Angels lead Major League Baseball with five walk-off wins. This one evened the Angels’ record at 21-21, bringing them back to .500 after a 12-day hiatus.

“These guys come back their fair share this year,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “It isn’t going to happen every day, but when it does it feels great.”

The Angels haven’t swept a series since the A’s visited Anaheim on April 25-27. They can change that Wednesday, their last home game before a 10-game East Coast swing beginning Friday.

This game featured two late comebacks. The White Sox took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 11th inning when Tim Anderson hit a solo home run against Angels pitcher Yusmeiro Petit (1-0). Anderson had missed the previous four games to mourn the death of a friend.

The Angels led, 5-2, after eight innings. Closer Bud Norris was unavailable after throwing 27 pitches the day before, his third appearance in as many days.

Instead veteran right-hander David Hernandez had the task of getting three outs to preserve the win. A closer by the unlikeliest chain of events, Hernandez had allowed only one run in his first 11 appearances. He began the season with the Atlanta Braves’ Triple-A affiliate and hadn’t recorded a save since May 2016 as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Tuesday, he was charged with facing the heart of the Chicago White Sox lineup. Melky Cabrera led off the ninth with a single. Jose Abreu followed with a single of his own. Avisail Garcia doubled to drive in Cabrera, bringing the White Sox within 5-3.

With runners on second and third, Todd Frazier tapped a grounder to the right of the mound. Hernandez couldn’t reach the ball, which angled off the glove of second baseman Danny Espinosa into short right field. Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons recovered the ball but couldn’t throw it home in time to prevent Abreu and Garcia from scoring.

Now the score was tied, 5-5. Petit was summoned to get the final three outs — two on bunts — and send the game into extra innings.

“We were going to try to match up” without Norris, Scioscia said. “David’s been throwing the ball really well for us. A little misfortune, but Petit did a great job to keep it as a tie. One pitch to Anderson ended up out of the park. Outside of that, he pitched well.”

Even Anderson’s home run almost was not.

Cameron Maybin, the Angels’ left fielder, took a poor route to get underneath the deep fly ball. When he arrived at the wall, Maybin’s feet were caught under the padded portion of the fence. He was physically unable to jump for a ball that barely cleared the wall.

“I misplayed it,” Maybin said. “That’s a ball I should catch easy. … I didn’t think he got it that good but he did.”

Trailing 6-5 at that point, Simmons led off the 11th inning with a single and went to second on a passed ball. Espinosa bunted back to the mound, where Robertson spun and threw to third base. The throw was inside the bag, but third baseman Tyler Saladino tagged out Simmons to erase the threat.

With one out, Revere hit a flare single into center field, sending Espinosa to second base. Maybin lofted a fly ball that landed in a Bermuda Triangle in shallow left-center field and wound up on second base with a double. Espinosa scored and Maybin had his fifth hit, a career high.

Mike Trout was walked intentionally for the second time, ending his quest for home runs in five straight games. That set up Pujols’ walk-off hit.

Angels starter J.C. Ramirez allowed five hits and two runs in seven strong innings before the announced crowd of 36,089.

The White Sox took an aggressive approach against Ramirez. It resulted in plenty of hard contact but only five hits. One, a two-run home run by Yolmer Sanchez in the sixth inning, accounted for all the damage.

Ramirez didn’t walk a batter and only struck out two. This too was a byproduct of Chicago’s aggressive approach. Only 9 of the 25 batters he faced even got to a two-strike count.

“I had a plan today that I’ve been doing in the past,” Ramirez said. “I had 100 percent confidence in myself. (Martin Maldonado) called a fastball inside, I threw a fastball inside.”

The Angels nickel-and-dimed White Sox starter Derek Holland for seven hits and three runs in six innings. Pujols got the Angels on the board with a long single in the third inning to drive in two runs. He claimed sole possession of 11th place on baseball’s all-time RBI list with 1,847.

In the fourth inning, Maybin drove in Simmons to give the Angels a 3-0 lead.

The Angels scored twice more in the seventh inning, on a bases-loaded walk and an RBI single by Jefry Marte.

Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra concertmaster Phil Chen and principal flute Alison Huh, winners of the orchestra’s annual concerto competition, will perform with the orchestra Sunday, May 21, during its final concert of the season.

In addition to the orchestra’s performance of the Allegro maestoso from Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Chen will perform the Allegro moderato from Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, and Huh will be featured in Charles Tomlinson Griffes’ “Poem, for Flute and Orchestra.”

 Phil Chen

Instruments you play: violin, piano

Tell us about your upcoming performance as a winner of the concerto competition. I could not be more excited to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with orchestra. This is one of the first pieces of music I ever listened to and is definitely a big reason why I began to play violin.

How did you get involved in music? When I was 5, a few of my older friends were playing piano, and I begged my parents for piano lessons so I could be like my friends. I later switched to violin and haven’t looked back since then.

What is your favorite piece of music? Who is your favorite composer of all time and why? The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto has been my favorite piece since I began playing violin. Picking a single favorite composer would be too difficult, but a few of my favorite artists include Maxim Vengerov, Hilary Hahn, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

Who have been your influences? Did you have a mentor in your development as an artist/performer? If so, how did they help you? Dr. Iryna Krechkovsky, my current teacher, has been an amazing mentor and has inspired me to become a better musician. Maestro Roger Kalia, music director of the PSYO, has made a tremendous impact on my interpretation of music, and my experiences with him have taught me almost everything I know about orchestral musicianship.

What inspires you? Silence. Because my life is generally filled with noise, I treasure moments of silence – periods when my mind is more free because it does not need to process any sound. During these times of silence, my mind can wander without distraction, or focus without interruption.

The next challenge I want to take on is … performing one of Paganini’s violin caprices, which are a set of notoriously difficult works for solo violin. I have learned many of the caprices, but never performed any of them in concerts. Outside of music, I’d like to run a marathon next year.

Other than music, are you involved in any other activities? If yes, what are they? I enjoy rock climbing, running, and biking in my free time. I also participate in my school’s science olympiad and science bowl teams, and was invited to join the US Physics Team this year.

How do the arts figure in to your long-term goals? I am still unsure about the details, but I know that regardless of what career path I take, music will always be a big part of my life. Whether I major in music or not, I will always try to play in an orchestra and a chamber ensemble.

What is the best advice you have received? “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

I hope my legacy as an artist will be … to have inspired others, just as I was inspired by other musicians to learn this amazing art form.

Name:
 Alison Huh

School:
 Northwood High School

Grade: 11

Hometown: Irvine

Instruments you play: flute, piccolo, tuba

Tell us about your upcoming performance as a winner of the concerto competition. The piece I decided to perform for this performance, “Poem, for Flute and Orchestra,” is significant to me as a first-time soloist since it provides such a large contrast (in style) compared to the typical flute concertos that most soloists would pick, such as Mozart. Instead, it brings the spotlight to the more contemporary genres of orchestral music, which I feel often go unnoticed.

How did you get involved in music? Music has been a large part of my life from when I was little, starting with piano lessons when I was 4 years old. When I was 8, I heard a family member play the flute, and I instantly fell in love with the instrument. At the time I was hoping to learn another instrument alongside piano, and it just happened to be the first interesting instrument that I saw that wasn’t a violin. However, I did not take the flute very seriously until I entered high school and realized the endless opportunities that can come from it.

What is your favorite piece of music? Who is your favorite composer of all time and why? My favorite piece of music would have to be Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,” not only because it has one of my favorite flute solos of all time, but it has a whimsical character that just allows you to escape the real world for 10 minutes of tranquility. My favorite composer would have to be a tie between John Williams and Justin Hurwitz. The two have such contrasting styles, with Williams creating majestic, powerful lines, whereas Hurwitz develops a sense of feel-good nostalgia through his melodies. Regardless, I can listen to both composers’ works endlessly.

Who have been your influences? Did you have a mentor in your development as an artist/performer? If so, how did they help you? The person I admire the most as an influencer and mentor would have to be my school’s vocal coach/choir pianist, Ms. Keiko Halop. As a musician, despite not being a flautist herself, her keen eyes and ears have continuously helped me improve in technique and phrasing, but her musical aid is nowhere near finished there. She helps bring out a creative aspect to all music that I perform whether it is vocal or instrumental, bringing music back to the heart of what it truly is: art. We often get caught up striving for perfection, and Ms. Keiko’s advice prevents the discipline from reaching an apathetic, mechanical nature. However, aside from music, she acts like a second mother, caregiver and friend, all wrapped into one, showing the utmost concern and care for issues outside of music, such as social and academic issues, taking time out of her personal life to help me and come up with feasible solutions while continuously supporting me.

What inspires you? What inspires me most would have to be the musicians that I am surrounded by in my daily life, particularly my senior friends that are going off to college to pursue music in some form. Despite the wide range of musical experience that my friends have, they all share a common, insatiable desire to constantly practice, improve and excel in their musical endeavors. They drive me to continuously work and hone my musicianship so I can someday thrive in the music world, performing and working alongside such diligent, passionate peers.

The next challenge I want to take on is … college auditions in the coming fall!

Other than music, are you involved in any other activities? If yes, what are they? Most of my extracurricular activities revolve around music. However, I do not limit myself to classical performance. I enjoy participating in my school’s jazz band, marching band, choir and a capella group. Additionally, I have recently taken interest in graphic design, utilizing it to help design graphics for clubs that I take part in, whether it is on group shirts or publicity materials.

How do the arts figure in to your long-term goals? At this point, my future remains ambiguous, however I hope to keep music as a significant aspect of my life forever. Whether if it is as a professional flautist, conductor, teacher or maybe even in a non-musical field, I want to make sure that my deep musical passion continues on much past high school and college.

What is the best advice you have received? The best advice I have received by far would have to be from Ms. Halop, which was to go into every performance with the utmost focus on performing for yourself and your enjoyment, not worrying about the opinions of others. That advice, although much easier said than done, has been applicable to everything ranging from musical performance to academic performance, and it has helped me change my mindset on everything I do to be towards trusting my own abilities and raising my confidence.

I hope my legacy as an artist will be … I hope to be an artist that can someday inspire and convince those around me that one’s success is not based on quantitative qualities. Too often do people believe that someone is “better” than them solely due to the number of years they played an instrument or how many awards they won from a young age. While these factors may put some at an advantage, I want people to acknowledge how in the grand scheme of life, relentless passion and drive to improve can bring one to greatness and beyond regardless of their beginning conditions.

Starting Wednesday, Southern California Big Mac fans can satisfy their craving without leaving their driveway.

McDonald’s has launched doorstep delivery through UberEats at 375 restaurants in Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside counties. With the exception of soft-serve ice cream orders and promotional items, the full McDonald’s menu is available through the fast-growing delivery division of Uber.

Third-generation McDonald’s operator Todd Horner, whose family runs 34 Southern California restaurants, said McDelivery allows the chain to get “our meals into people’s hands that may not be able to make it into the restaurant.”

McDonald’s restaurants in Southern California are among the first in the nation to launch delivery. The world’s largest burger chain is expected to expand the service over the coming months in other regions.

Meeting consumer demand for delivery comes as McDonald’s tries to stay one step ahead of its biggest fast food rivals: Burger King, Wendy’s and Jack in the Box.

San Diego-based Jack in the Box launched delivery of its entire menu in late March through a partnership with San Francisco-based DoorDash.  Of the 856 restaurants testing delivery, 273 are in Southern California – a key market for Jack in the Box, the company said.

Wendy’s and DoorDash are piloting a delivery program at 135 restaurants in Dallas and Columbus, Ohio. Some parts of Orange County also offer delivery. Irvine-based Taco Bell has offered delivery through DoorDash for nearly two years.

McDonald’s is joining a number of popular restaurants going with UberEats, one of the industry’s fastest-growing food delivery companies.

Since debuting in 2014 in Los Angeles, UberEats has added thousands of restaurants to its roster including The Halal Guys, Panda Express, The Flame Broiler, Umami Burger, Slater’s 50/50, Lemonade, Ruby’s Diner and Johnny Rockets.

On the app, pizza, Mexican food and burgers are the most popular search categories.

“People in Southern California search for McDonald’s in the UberEats app almost daily, so we’re excited to expand our reach and deliver what they’ve been craving,” UberEats spokesman Allen Narcisse said in a statement.

Postmates, an on-demand delivery service, said the Big Mac is the No. 1 fast-food item craved by its users. (Note: Postmates acts more like a personal courier service by allowing users to create custom shopping orders).

Many of those searching for food delivery are the industry’s next generation of diners: millennials.

The nation’s 75 million millennials, roughly defined as ages 18-34 in 2015, outnumber Baby Boomers. Mobile ordering is among their biggest pastimes.

Market research firm NPD Group reports 1.7 billion deliveries in foodservice visits annually. Young adults are the heaviest users, representing 56 percent of delivery orders.

Compared to other generations, Gen Z and Gen Y are also the most satisfied users of food delivery services, according to NPD.

“If delivery fits a foodservice operator’s business model and it’s operationally feasible, they definitely need to add it on as an option in order to stay competitive,” said Warren Solochek, president of NPD’s Foodservice Practice division.Delivering meals is one of

Delivering meals is one of several strategies McDonald’s has employed to lure today’s experiential-focused consumer. In recent years, McDonald’s has modernized restaurants, made breakfast available all day and added a line of Signature Crafted burgers made with upscale ingredients.

Many of those programs were first tested in Southern California.

Horton, whose family runs 12 McDonald’s stores in Orange County, said the company has evolved to be more accessible and customer-focused. Testing new ideas is necessary to stay relevant.

“Not everything is going to work perfectly, but a lot of good things come out of trial and error,” said the 34-year-old operator. “If we don’t try it, we’ ll never know.”

Of his 34 restaurants, 23 restaurants are participating in UberEats program. Normal UberEats “booking fees” apply. Locally, fees are about $4.99 per delivery.

However, McDelivery customers can get $5 off their first two UberEATS orders by using the following promotional code valid through July 1: FRIES4U. No minimum order. The promotion is only valid for new users.

SEARCH CONTINUES: The U.S. Coast Guard’s search for a private plane that was carrying The Skylight Group’s founder Jennifer Blumin was expected to continue through Tuesday night.
The search team included representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Customs and Border Control. Initially, they were canvassing a search area that encompassed 110 square miles, but that was reduced after a debris field was found 15 miles east of Eleuthera in the Bahamas on Tuesday afternoon.
Blumin was traveling in a twin-engine Mitsubishi plane with her three- and four-year-old sons, and Nathan Ulrich of Lee, N.H. They were en route to Titusville, Fla., from Borinquen, Puerto Rico. Miami’s air traffic control contacted the U.S. Coast Guard at 2:10 p.m. after the plane lost radar and radio contact about 37 miles east of Eleuthera. A Coast Guard helicopter was on the scene Tuesday night and the Coast Guard Cutter Bernard C. Webber was en route, a Coast Guard spokesman said Tuesday night.
As of early Tuesday evening, it was not known who was piloting the plane although Ulrich was listed as the pilot, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman said.
A graduate of Cornell University, Blumin started the Skylight Group in 2004.

American rapper, songwriter and actor Wiz Khalifa is now adding fashion designer to his résumé, creating his first unisex capsule collection in collaboration with Los Angeles-based labels 424 and Pleasures. The collection is set to debut on June 10 at Night Two of Made L.A., via a fashion and music showcase with Khalifa and his record label Taylor Gang, which represents artists such as Ty Dolla Sign and Juicy J.
Once Khalifa was confirmed to participate in Made L.A., the Made team presented him with a list of L.A.-based designers popular with musicians with which to collaborate, and he chose his two favorites, 424 and Pleasures, explained Ruth Gruca, global fashion director at Made.
“We’re still producing a next-level fashion and music experience, but unlike last year, we’ve added several collaborative components to the event,” Gruca said.
Clothing label 424 was founded in L.A. in 2015 by Guillermo Andrade following the 2010 opening of his store FourTwoFour on Fairfax Avenue. Like 424, Pleasures, founded by Alex James, is a Los Angeles streetwear label.
