antioch, not that warm, 84 in fairfield, down from 106 degrees not too long ago. temperature in santa rosa was 79. move them into tomorrow if you want but very similar profile tomorrow. a lot of fog along the coast right now and actually low clouds, you can see it's already pushed, it's already into livermore valley. working its way up, winds in the delta blowing to 38 miles per hour and so this is all being ushered well into the inland bay valley so even sacramento and areas like that are experiencing what they called delta breezes but a cooling. sea breeze is everywhere, that's green. temperatures running a little bit behind where they were last time, eight degrees cooler in concord. wake up a little cooler and end up a little cooler tomorrow. the fog is above our heads, look at the fog and it's been kind of capped here but over the top of us so you can't see it. that's what i'm getting at.

but that cloud is in your neighborhood tomorrow morning so you can see all the fog footprint or low cloud footprint down to san jose and silliness value. slow burn off like today, you get a day to honor like today. a beautiful day. it warms up a little bit for the weekend. this is the reason it's been cool, thunderstorms up around lake tahoe and yesterday. that's leaving. the marine layer squishes down and temperatures go up. it's that simple and -- well, not that simple but pretty simple. very repetitive pattern and its acting, we had a few weeks and a few months that were sort of a really, abnormal, 83 in pittsb aioch, behind the average little bit but saying the pattern shifts. 78 in milpitas, 84 in morgan hill and along the coasts up a more.

marquez back with sports. the a's in kansas city and a scary moment for one of their s >> the a's have been ona roll, the game they lose but most worried about matt chapman. we'll get to that. playing a team, one of the worst in baseball.

40 games under .500. bad enough you lose, but you might lose matt chapman and in the first inning marcus semien just like ricky used to do, leading off the ball game with a home run, 24 and nine rbis in his last three games. a lead that wouldn't last, chapman hitting the helmet, 91 miles an hour pitch, he's got a head contusion. no concussion protocol, he did leave the game later. and here comes mark canha with the score 2-2, 23 home runs, what a great job he is doing in center field. 4-2 lead but blake treinen having a terrible year after he was so great last year. bases loaded, he will take the loss. hunter dozier with the rbi single to put the royals ahead for good. 6-4 is your tomorrow, the giants were off. i don't know if it's bad luck or lack of judgment but the

49ers have to get better with regard to free agent signings. told you about malcolm smith yesterday. jerick mckinnon who suffered that torn acl, big free agent running back before he ever played down for the fun 49ers had another setback. the seventh highest paid running back in the nfl, john lynch assessing the situation. >> okay. well, the bottom line is he had a setback today, in training and it looks like he may not start the season certainly not on the active list with regard to the 49ers. serena williams, big scare for her in the second round of the u.s. open, which she has been virtually unbeatable in her career. 18-0 going into this match against young 70-year-old catherine mcnally who actually won the first set 7-5. a lot of forced errors from serena. she gets that straightened out. 6-3, 6-1. serena an incredible 38-0 in

the first two rounds of her history at the u.s. open. venus her sister did lose her second round match. we have come to that point of the night where we must check this out. when you're going bad like the baltimore orioles have all year, tempers flare. watch the pitcher richard bleier, he does not backup at all. third base when the ball is hit. they didn't hustle at all. his coach one of them, jose flores, gives him an earful when he comes out of the dugout. one of the players tries to break it up. and then we are going to go down the hall and talk it over. like i d you want to a 7'2" inch shaq looks like trying to get into a smart car? yeah. he made it. >> compact. >> yeah. the shaq compact. >> look at that. >> he makes it work. right there.

>> the shocks go down. >> that reminds me of the story you told about minute bowl. -- manute bol when he played for the warriors. used to have a ford bronco and one time i saw him in the parking lot. he had taken out the front seat and remember manute bol was 7'6". and he would basically drive from the backseat. that's some long legs. with regard to the 49ers and jerick mckinnon situation, what john lynch basically said is, it's not going to happen for him. whether they release him or move on, like i said this guy was the seventh highest paid running back, 49ers spending a lot of money on guys who have not been able to contribute and that's got to turn around. you know? >> a combination of luck and judgment to. >> that's the sporting life. >> see you later. good night. ♪
