SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Manny Machado and Gary Sánchez hit three-run homers and the San Diego Padres beat San Francisco 10-0 Thursday to end the Giants’ 10-game winning streak.“Obviously, the first inning and getting a couple of three-run homers in the first three helped,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “Runners in scoring position, a lot of good at-bats today.”Blake Snell (4-6) won his third straight decision, striking out 11 and allowing three singles in six innings as the Padres avoided getting swept in a four-game series for the first time since 2017. Snell has an 18-inning scoreless streak and has allowed one one run over 31 innings in his last five starts.“I’m just in a zone, competing with every pitch,” Snell said. “When I have four pitches and they’re all working, that’s when I’m at my best.”Snell, García and Ray Kerr combined to retire San Diego’s last 13 batters in the Padres’ eighth shutout this season, a game that lasted 2 hours, 19 minutes.San Francisco ...

Lawmakers also approved a separate budget supplement totaling $194.5 million in one-time funds for next year.House members voted 32-8 for the operating budget and 33-7 for the supplemental bill. All dissenting votes were cast by Republicans, some of whom expressed concern about the increase in spending.“That 10 percent is now baked in,” said Republican Rep.

Ruth Briggs King of Georgetown, a member of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, acknowledged that the spending plan ...
