NLCS: Diamondbacks top Phillies on Ketel Marte’s walk-off single in Game 3
- October 20, 2023
By DAVID BRANDT AP Baseball Writer
PHOENIX — More than 15 minutes after the game, Ketel Marte stood at his clubhouse locker, gulping water while trying to finally catch his breath after delivering the Arizona Diamondbacks’ latest clutch postseason moment.
“After my hit, I sprinted so hard,” Marte said, shaking his head.
Marte capped a three-hit afternoon with a walk-off single in the ninth, rookie Brandon Pfaadt pitched 5⅔ scoreless innings and the Diamondbacks rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1, on Thursday and close to 2-1 in the National League Championship Series.
On the verge of falling behind 3-0 in the best-of-seven matchup, Arizona tied the score on Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s RBI double in the seventh.
Gurriel opened the ninth with a leadoff walk against Craig Kimbrel, stole second base and took third on Pavin Smith’s infield single.
Gurriel was thrown out at the plate by shortstop Trea Turner on Emmanuel Rivera’s hard-hit grounder as the Phillies played the infield in. Geraldo Perdomo walked after falling behind 1-and-2 in the count and Marte – one of the few Diamondbacks who has looked comfortable at the plate this series – hit a liner that fell in front of center fielder Johan Rojas, sending the D-backs onto the field in celebration.
“I felt like I could make some pitches to get us out of it,” Kimbrel said. “Sometimes you get them. Some days you don’t. Today just wasn’t that day.”
Marte said he wasn’t nervous during his at-bat. The 30-year-old is hitting .382 with four doubles, two homers and five RBIs in eight postseason games this year and has a 12-game postseason hitting streak.
“I’m not a pressure guy,” Marte said. “I know what kind of hitter I am.”
It was the third postseason walk-off win for the Diamondbacks after series-winning hits by Tony Womack in the 2001 NL Division Series and Luis Gonzalez in the 2001 World Series. Marte has a 12-game postseason hitting streak.
Defending NL champion Philadelphia had opened the postseason 7-1 and outscored the Diamondbacks 15-3 over two games at Citizens Bank Park, hitting six homers.
Bryce Harper had put the Phillies ahead in the seventh when he scored on Ryan Thompson’s wild pitch.
“We are here at their place,” Harper said. “They played a really good game today. I thought both sides had good defense, good pitching. Just got to move on as soon as possible.”
After throwing 4⅓ scoreless innings against the Dodgers in the NLDS clincher, Pfaadt struck out nine and allowed two hits against the Phillies with a mid-90s fastball and a nifty sweeper that had hitters chasing.
“It was fun – I had a lot of things working,” Pfaadt said. “I was able to hone in on a few things, execute the way I wanted and get some big outs.”
Pfaadt combined with Andrew Saalfrank, Thompson, Kevin Ginkel and Paul Sewald on a three-hitter. Sewald, who got the win, stranded Harper on second in the ninth when Alec Bohm took a called third strike.
Philadelphia’s Ranger Suárez gave up three hits and struck out seven in 5⅓ innings, leaving after Marte’s leadoff double in the sixth. Suarez’s 0.94 ERA is the lowest in a pitcher’s first eight career postseason appearances.
“I was locating my pitches really well today,” Suárez said through an interpreter. “That helped me a lot.”
Harper walked against Saalfrank starting the seventh and Bohm followed with an infield single against Thompson. Bryson Stott grounded into a double play as Harper took third, and Thompson yanked an 0-and-1 slider that swerved over the left-handed batter’s box and bounced to the backstop. The ball rebounded to catcher Gabriel Montero, whose too-late throw sailed past the pitcher covering the plate as Harper slid headfirst.
Arizona had been scoreless for 17 innings until the seventh. Tommy Pham singled off Orion Kerkering and Gurriel doubled down into the left field corner. Smith singled to put runners at the corners but José Alvarado got Rivera to ground into a double play and Perdomo grounded out.
After nearly taking a 3-0 series lead, the Phillies planned to regroup.
“It could have gone either way, you know,” Manager Rob Thomson said. “What are you going to do? I’m not going to think about it that way. I’m going to think about coming in here tomorrow and getting ready and getting ready to compete.”
LATE ARRIVALS
The first two games of the NLCS were a hot ticket in Philadelphia, with fans paying hundreds of dollars just to get in the door.
Game 3 at Chase Field was much more affordable. Less than an hour before the game, seats were available on SeatGeek for as low as $18 and on StubHub for as low as $14. Prices were so low that Phillies fans claimed they bought tickets just to keep potential D-backs fans out of the stadium.
The D-backs announced a sellout crowd of 47,075 and the seats looked 99% full for a game that started at 2:07 p.m. PT.
D-BACKS CHANGES
D-backs manager Torey Lovullo shuffled his lineup significantly for Game 3 against the left-handed Suárez, flipping Marte and Corbin Carroll at the top of the order. He also batted Moreno third, dropped Pham to fifth and played the right-handed hitting Rivera at third base. Thomas – a left-handed hitter – wasn’t in the starting lineup. He was 0 for 5 in the first two games.
UP NEXT
Game 4 is on Friday at 5:07 p.m. PT. The Phillies start left-hander Cristopher Sánchez, who hasn’t pitched in the postseason. The D-backs will counter with left-hander Joe Mantiply (2-0, 9.00 ERA), normally a reliever.

Read MoreRB Myles Gaskin ready for new chance with Rams
- October 20, 2023
THOUSAND OAKS — Last week, Myles Gaskin got a call from his parents.
The veteran running back had spent the first five weeks of the season bouncing back and forth between the Minnesota Vikings’ active roster and practice squad, after a year of limited use in Miami. His parents weren’t used to him not playing, and they wanted to check up on him and make sure he was holding up all right.
“Them just trying to tell me to keep my head up for this journey. This is what I always wanted since I was a kid, so just the ups and downs of it,” Gaskin said. “They always keep it real with me. They just told me to keep my head up, stay true to your process. My dad is always huge, but my mom is always speaking life into me.”
And speaking good things into existence for her son, too. A week later, Gaskin got the call that, after a pair of running back injuries, the Rams wanted to sign him to their active roster.
It’s an ideal situation for Gaskin. The chance to earn some snaps while Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers recover from injury. A return to the West Coast for a Seattle native.
“My eyes lit up, just very excited to be back on the West Coast, close to family,” Gaskin said. “This is a great organization and I’m just excited to help and do what I can. Being back on an active roster is very much a blessing.”
Gaskin was a productive player in his first three seasons in Miami. He gained 972 total yards in 2020 and scored seven touchdowns the following season. But a crowded backfield led to him playing in just four games in 2022, carrying the ball in two of those contests.
As he navigated that disappointment and the inability to find a spot on an active roster this preseason, he looked to former teammates like journeyman Vince Biegel for inspiration.
“The biggest thing I took away from that was just stay true to your process, stay true to your work,” Gaskin said. “That’s what got you to the league and that’s what’s going to keep you in the league.”
When he got the call early Monday morning that he was going to be a Ram, Gaskin began to pack immediately.
“I was like let’s get this going, let’s get up out of Minnesota,” Gaskin said. “I love Minnesota, I appreciate everything over there but I was excited to come to L.A. and the opportunity I’ve been afforded.”
Gaskin has some familiarity with the Rams’ offensive system. Head coach Sean McVay and his Miami counterpart Mike McDaniel stem from the same coaching tree, while Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell was the Rams’ offensive coordinator from 2020-2021.

While he is comfortable with some of the concepts and verbiage, Gaskin is trying to treat the playbook with an open mind as he goes about learning the new offense.
“He’s been a good player in this league,” offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said. “I’ve been hearing from McDaniel about what kind of guy he is, [assistant head coach] Jimmy Lake about what kind of guy he is. In the 24 hours I’ve known him, it’s holding true right now. So if he gets his opp, I know the game’s not going to be too big for him.”
He’s one of four options that could handle the football for the Rams on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Gaskin is happy to be in consideration after how his season began.
“Just ready to make plays and whatever Coach asks me to do, I’m more than willing to do it,” Gaskin said. “I feel like the stars aligned for me to get here. I was just talking to my parents about the situation and all that stuff just about a week ago so it’s crazy to end up in L.A.”

Read MorePalos Verdes Estates blufftop compound seeks $35 million
- October 20, 2023
An oceanfront compound on the westernmost point of Palos Verdes Estates is on the market for $35 million.
If it gets close to the asking price, it will surpass the Andalusian-style home in the guard-gated city of Rolling Hills purchased for $22.4 million in October 2018 as the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s most expensive house ever sold.
Located in the quiet enclave of Lunada Bay, the recent listing features two Santa Barbara Spanish-style homes for a total of 12,474 square feet with seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
A pool and spa marry two properties combined to create the lush, 1-acre-plus grounds, backdropped with unobstructed coastline views from Redondo Beach to Malibu.
Palos Verdes Estates is one of four cities on the peninsula that Britt Austin of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty calls a best-kept secret.
“In Palos Verdes Estates and Rolling Hills, which is a guard-gated city, you get some really big lots,” said Austin, the co-listing agent. “It’s a beautiful place. I don’t know why prices are (undervalued), but I think that will change.”
Records show the first of the two properties sold in July 2007 for $4.9 million to a trust managed by Tim Armour, the outgoing chairman and CEO of the Capital Group, who retires October 25 after 40 years with the financial services company.
When the neighboring house came on the market, records show the same trust scooped it up in March 2011 for $4.5 million.
Each of those times, the owner replaced the original home with a new two-story construction, first in 2008 and then in 2016. They include a 7,022-square-foot main house and a 5,450-square-foot guest house with an entertainment pavilion, each curated by celebrated interior designer Tim Clarke.
His touches include reclaimed wood-beamed ceilings, vintage Italian chandeliers and antique French fireplace mantles.
At the five-bedroom main house, the front door opens to reveal the living room with a fireplace and built-ins.
It leads to the formal dining room, which connects to the eat-in kitchen and breakfast room via the butler’s pantry. Design elements in the kitchen include countertops of aged Massangis limestone, a patinaed copper sink and high-end appliances and fixtures.
The kitchen overlooks the family room where disappearing glass walls extend the interior to expansive grounds by landscape architect Art Luna that feature sprawling lawns, limestone hardscape and pergolas.
Elsewhere, there’s a home office, screening room and primary suite with direct access to an outdoor spa. It also boasts a fireplace in the bedroom, a separate shower and tub in the bathroom, and a walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-in storage and an island.
The guest retreat includes two bedrooms, a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, a gym, an office and an expansive family room referred to in the listing as the entertainment pavilion with retractable glass walls.
Garage parking for seven rounds out the highlights.
More than well-appointed, the listing also boasts Savant home automation and next-level security. While the designer furniture and home furnishings are not included in the price, they are available for purchase outside escrow.
Austin shares the listing with her mother, Cari Corbalis, also of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.

Read MoreCults, romance, war and mom: Daniel Clowes’ new book ‘Monica’ explores the ’60s
- October 20, 2023
For years, cartoonist Daniel Clowes knew he wanted to start a book with two Army grunts, Johnny and Butch, smoking cigarettes in their foxhole in Vietnam as bullets flew and mortar rounds boomed nearby.
“These characters are kind of living in another era,” he says recently on a call from his home in Oakland. “Unaware of what’s going on back home.
“I thought that was such a strong idea because it was a real separation of two very distinct worlds,” says Clowes, whose books include such graphic novels as “Eight Ball,” “Ghost World,” “Wilson” and “Patience.” “You have these two naive guys, thinking they’re fighting World War II. They think they’re still in this bygone 20th-century era.
“But back home, everything is changing. Everything they’re counting on is completely different.”
His new book, “Monica,” begins with that chapter. Clowes, 62, wanted to explore the ’60s in this book, and the Vietnam War fits solidly into that plan.
But what he realized he really wanted to write and illustrate was a book about his mother, and the eight chapters that follow focus on the life of Monica, whose mother Penny was inspired by Clowes’ mom.
“I didn’t want to do just straight autobiography or biography,” Clowes says. “I wanted to have the room to kind of not feel like I was beholden to the facts, which is why I think I always do fiction.
“I needed a narrator for the story and realized early on it was the baby,” he says of Monica, who was born to the unmarried Penny, Johnny’s high school sweetheart and fiancée, while Johnny was still in that foxhole. “She was the one sort of telling what it was like to grow up in this world.
“Once I had that in place, I saw that all the other stories that I’d been thinking of in the book were all about this character,” Clowes says. “It felt like I’d almost raised a child that I understood. You know, you often have characters, you see them as adults, as middle-aged characters, and you kind of imagine their upbringing, but we don’t really know.
“In this case, I felt like I knew every minute of her life as a child, so I had a real sense of her as a living character.”
In an interview edited for clarity and length, Clowes talked about his mother, how her absence of interest in parenting influenced the book, and the concept to do each of the nine chapters as entirely different genres of comic books.
Q: What was it about your mother that drew you to tell part of her story here?
A: My mother was just a very distinctive character and very unlike anybody else’s mother. People would talk about their mother and I’d think that couldn’t be more opposite of my mother. I don’t think my mother made me a meal after I was a baby. After that, we would just go out to dinner if we ate dinner together at all.
She decided when I was six that birthday presents were frivolous, like something a consumer was compelled to do, so she never bought me another present. She was very disengaged from my life. So that was all I knew.
Out in the world, she was a very remarkable woman who ran her own auto repair shop on the South Side of Chicago. She was a martial artist. At 70 she went to law school and got a law degree. She did all these kinds of amazing things but she was absolutely not a mother in any sense. It was a very disconcerting way to grow up.
As a father, I couldn’t imagine making the same decisions she did. And I wanted to figure out why she did that.
Q: I can imagine it might have certain challenges writing something that’s related to your own family. What was it like to be using your own life more directly in ‘Monica’?
A: When I began the story, my mother was very much alive and I worried about her response to it. You know, she was very defensive about her choices and never accepted that it might not have been great for me. That was very painful for her, so she always kind of argued against it.
I wanted to do it anyway. I always imagined I could somehow keep it from her. You know, she doesn’t follow media of any kind. But I knew she had friends who would probably tell her, ‘I heard about your son’s book on NPR.’ And so I was kind of dreading that, and I think that’s why I started so slowly at the beginning.
But in the middle of the book she died, and then my brother, who was the only other person who was kind of party to this childhood, he also died. So I had nobody left to either argue against me or to corroborate anything or even have any firsthand knowledge of it. That became a whole ‘nother story unto itself, trying to piece together the mystery without any firsthand witnesses.
Q: Penny abandons Monica as a toddler and disappears. We later find out she joined a cult. That and other kinds of faith show up throughout the book.
A: I’m not someone who’s gone through all that experience. I’ve never been drawn to religious ways of thinking or to joining cults and things like that. But I’ve always had a somewhat unhealthy obsession with reading about them, especially all those California cults, which felt like something my mother would do even though she was much more individualistic and it would have been very difficult for her to listen to anybody else.
When you read (about cults), the beginning chapters always seem great. You think, ‘Oh, it would be great to be in the Manson Family! Caring for each other, taking in all these wounded souls, it’s us against the world.’ And then of course you hit the midpoint and all of a sudden you’re killing people or drinking the Kool-Aid or whatever it takes.
(Monica’s) mother just disappeared, a total mystery. So she is looking for some kind of community, but also something to explain how she feels so separate and different. It’s really about examining that loneliness. Like there must be, you must be a creature of faith somehow.
Q: Tell me a little bit about your process. Do you have the script fully written before you start to illustrate?
A: Most of the thinking goes before it. I did those first two stories, I knew somewhat the rest of the book from there. By doing those, it clarified the rest of the book. So I was able to think through exactly what happens. And, of course, a lot of the thinking is stuff that never appears on the page.
I thought about her life from beginning to end. And there are 20 years where none of that makes the comic. It informs it, though. Things like the way she talks and her attitude towards things that you can tell are formed by experiences that you didn’t necessarily see.
So it’s a process of thinking about nothing but the story for years and literally years. Then when it comes time to actually sit down and compose the panel-to-panel sequences, the dialogue and stuff like that, it becomes almost like transcribing. It’s like, OK, I know what happened.
Q: Do you ever find yourself going back to earlier parts of it and rewriting, redrawing?
A: Always. It’s sometimes like doing a gigantic oil painting. Maybe I’ll paint all of the horses over to the side in the beginning, because they’re in the deep background. And then you paint the figures and you go, Oh, those horses don’t quite match for me. And you go back and go over them.
I do all my artwork still on paper and if you look at the paper there are often taped-on panels, like three or four on top of each other. It’s almost a relief map.
Q: So you could flip back and go, ‘Oh, this is where I started?’
A: I often wonder if somebody’s going to wind up with this artwork someday, and they’re going to go, ‘Oh my God, what the hell was he doing?’ I’ll often do four or five things and then go back to the first one.
Q: In terms of the visual style, ‘The Foxhole’ kind of reminds me of ‘Sgt. Rock’ –
A: – or the TV show ‘Combat’ –
Q: – and the ‘Penny’ chapter feels like one of those old romance comics. Tell me about mixing and matching visual styles.
A: One of the very first thoughts about the book was that I was imagining telling a life story using a different genre for each story. I thought that would be a sort of interesting way to do that. And so I started out, you know, I have a war story, and that goes into a sort of young girl romance story, but then that story sort of turns into something else halfway through. And then there’s a kind of supernatural EC Comics story.
But then I found the genres started to merge and, like, pile up on each other so it’s a cacophony of genres. And that felt like much more depth and interest to me than just kind of sticking to the conceit. Then, as it builds up at the end, it builds up to where there’s almost no genre, or the genre is naturalism, real life. Which, of course, gives way to a completely different genre.
And so it sort of became reflective to the way human life is where your babyhood is a genre. You’re a baby and you’re seeing the world, and everything is simple until it’s not. And then everything is combining and getting muddy and chaotic.
Q: When you were finished how did it feel? What were you thinking in terms of looking back at your life with your mother?
A: It’s hard to say. Certainly, I spent so much time thinking about her during the making of the book. I have very mixed feelings. Towards the end of working on the book, I found, under all her junk, a bunch of letters she had written to a friend. It kind of underlined and listed all the answers to all the questions I’ve had growing up. It ended up being a revelation, so I tried to give that to ‘Monica’ too, a little bit.

- October 20, 2023
Police and school officials are investigating after swastikas were drawn on a locker at Corona del Mar High School, a Newport-Mesa School District official said.
The school district was made aware of the hate symbols over the weekend and reported it to police, Newport-Mesa School District spokeswoman Annette Franco said. The district also planned to meet with the Jewish Federation of Orange County to determine the next steps, she said.
“This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our schools,” Franco said. “We are better than this.”.
Franco said the vandalism and an increase in digital hate speech has prompted Corona del Mar Middle/High School officials to form an interfaith council made up of students, parents, community members, and local religious leaders to discuss what happened, as well as educate and encourage productive dialogue around culturally sensitive issues.
“This is especially important as we are seeing an increase in hate speech and violence online and in social media due to recent events overseas,” she said.
The group was expected to meet this week, she said. Police have not returned a reporter’s calls about the incident, and the district did not respond to additional requests for comment.
In 2019, students, parents, and community members — including a Holocaust survivor, expressed shock and outrage during a meeting with district and Newport Harbor High School administrators after a photo taken at an off-campus party showed several students flashing a Nazi salute as they surrounded a swastika formed by red plastic cups.
According to administrators, the off-campus party involved students from Newport Harbor, Estancia, Costa Mesa, and Corona del Mar high schools.

Read MoreJudge bars Chino Valley Unified from outing transgender students to parents
- October 20, 2023
A San Bernardino Superior Court judge Thursday, Oct. 19, granted a state-requested preliminary injunction that prevents the Chino Valley Unified School District from implementing portions of its parental notification policy.
The policy, adopted by the board in July, sought to require schools to notify parents if a student requests to change their name or pronouns, seeks access to facilities or sports programs that do not align with the gender on their birth certificates, or asks to change their school records.
In court Thursday, Judge Michael Sachs ruled the policy’s first two provisions forcing outing transgender students to their parents are discriminatory based on sex, violating the Constitution’s equal protection clause.
The third provision, however, is “neutral facing,” Sachs ruled, because it affects all students, not just those seeking gender-affirming accommodations.
The final provision of the policy, he added, “is a circumstance in which the students are making this information a voluntary addition to their school records not a mandated obligation.”
Opponents of the district’s notification policy cheered Sach’s ruling as a win for their side.
“The judge accurately described the forced outing policy as ‘discriminatory on its face,’ and we agree,” Kristi Hirst, a former teacher, parent and co-founder of Our Schools USA, said in a news release.
“It’s embarrassing that this school board chooses to ignore the harm they are causing in Chino and in communities throughout California in order to pursue a political crusade,” Hirst continued. “Educating children works best with engaged parents and caring teachers working together to create a safe space for all children to learn – and that’s what school boards ought to be focused on.”
Sachs said he recognized that all parties are concerned with the safety of students.
“The issues we are dealing with are significant and important to both the school district, the parents, the teachers, as well as the students,” said Sachs. “I am hopeful the decisions I make today will provide some (clarity) to San Bernardino and the Inland Empire.”
RELATED: What do conflicting judicial decisions mean for parental notification policies?
Chino Valley is expected to return to court Feb. 26, 2024 to decide on a formal trial date.
“We look forward to defending Chino Valley’s policy as the case moves forward,” Emily Rae, senior counsel with the Liberty Justice Center, which is representing the district in court, said in a statement.
“Both the law and public opinion are on Chino Valley’s side — recent polling shows that a supermajority of Californians believe parents should be involved in their kids’ education and that schools should not keep secrets from parents,” Rae said.
The matter landed in court in September, after state Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit to block implementation of the CVUSD notification policy.
On Sept. 6, Superior Court Judge Thomas Garza granted the state-requested temporary restraining order, which put the policy on hold.
At the time, Garza said he granted the injunction in an “abundance of caution,” noting that while most parents are not a danger to their children there are exceptions.
The notification policy introduced in June requires schools to notify parents in writing within three days after their child identifies as transgender, is involved in violence or talks about suicide. The provisions related to outing transgender students have drawn ire from LGBTQ students and advocates.
Meanwhile, as of Sept. 15, seven school districts have adopted their own parent notification policies including Murrieta, Temecula, and Orange school districts.
