11:02 pm
like you can't miss it. in fact, i just saw somebody getting out of their car over there and they were like, oh, it smells like poop. >> the smell apparently coming from old wastewater treatment tanks used in anchor's brewing process. a spokesperson for the brewery's new owner told the san francisco chronicle that the tanks weren't decommissioned properly, so they've now brought in crews to demolish the tanks. everyone from residents to runners to dog walkers starting to lose patience. >> it kind of smells like maneuver. it's it kind of smells like picking up horse poop. and, you know, i've done that before. you find yourself trying to take another route to places to avoid the smoke. unfortunately, sometimes i don't have that option. but yeah, i'll i'll try to avoid this little park right here. >> meanwhile, efforts to get the place cleaned up. continue. no word on when the smell is expected to fade away. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> let's take a live look outside tonight. we have some changes on the way, and not just for the bay area. there is

under investigation. we've learned engine failure was the likely cause of a plane crash today in the hills south of livermore. the preliminary investigation by the ntsb points to a complete loss of engine power in the air, which led to a forced landing. this morning, the plane took off from concord and the faa says it went down around 915 this morning, landing, as you see upside down. the pilot was the only one on board and was not hurt. contra costa county is losing one of its biggest employers after chevron announced it's moving its headquarters to texas. chevron has had its main offices in san ramon for decades now. most of those jobs are being transferred to houston. it's something chevron has been hinting at for years. some blame regulations in california. others say chevron has benefited from being in the bay area. >> they have fully embraced some of our most stringent clean air requirements in the bay area. our safety requirements in contra costa county. >> the company took on the progressive values in many ways that the bay area had. chevron

11:08 pm
president biden made the announcement that he would not continue running for a second term and endorsed harris. she now becomes the only candidate in half a century to become the nominee without a single primary vote. but national polling shows that right now she has a better chance of beating trump than biden did when he dropped out of the race, according to fivethirtyeight. she is up a point and a half over trump in national polls and even within swing states. she's closing the gap that biden had against trum. she's pulling slightly ahead of trump in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. those could be factors she takes into consideration when picking her running mate. biden says he is weighing in on the talks, too. have you spoken to vice president harris about her running mate? >> yes. >> abc has confirmed arizona senator and retired astronaut mark kelly, the husband of former congresswoman gabby giffords, minnesota governor tim walz and pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, also a former prosecutor. like harris, all are being vetted. shapiro was expected to headline fundraisers in new york. for harris, now

11:10 pm
he ultimately did, and he made history tonight. the giants in cincinnati and snell was absolutely dealing. throws the 18th no hitter in giants history. now snell had never even pitched into the ninth inning of a game before. but he threw 114 pitches in this one. struck out 11 final out right there as the giants beat the reds three zero. nice way to get your first win as a giant that you were going to be feeling. >> just locked in. >> got him, coach hank. hey. it's cold. got him. >> i got to collect my breath. please. do they get a replay of that? that's how you not. you don't do it. hit me in the head with the dang lid. >> i mean, there comes a point in time where it's kind of destiny for him. especially the way he's been throwing. that's as nervous as i've been in a long time. i wanted that for him so bad. you know, if anybody has the stuff to know, a throw a no hitter, it's blake snell. and finally, you know, came through, pitched nine innings no hit ball. so he's got that feather in his cap which is pretty cool.
11:11 pm

11:27 pm
there's a lifetime of dedication.
11:28 pm
11:29 pm
behind every second of game-changing performance there's a lifetime of dedication. started, what he did tonight was stunning. snell signed late, rushed to take the mound, wasn't ready, couldn't win a game. got hurt twice. all of that is way
11:30 pm
back in the rear view mirror. now after snell threw a no hitter for the giants in cincinnati. we'll start with mr. read working on his fencing skills now. snell and company had to sit through an hour weather delay. but man was he ready. and he was coming off a 15 strikeout outing. so it looks like he is back to being the two time cy young award winner blake snell, which is why the giants really didn't want to trade him at the deadline. feeling. look, if this guy gets hot, look out straight to the ninth. snell had never pitched into the ninth in a nine year major league career. nasty curveball to santiago espinal. that would be the last of his 11 strikeouts on the night. the next pitch and the next batter, jonathan india, soft comebacker. and that's two outs. the dangerous elly de la cruz would be the reds last hope, and he also swings at the first pitch here. fly ball to mike yastrzemski and right elliot ramos. stay away. and there it is. the 18th no no in giants history 114 pitches for snell. he only had to throw six pitches in the ninth. here's snell after his historic night
11:31 pm
got out there in the ninth. >> that was when i was kind of like whoa i got fired up tonigh. i was like, well, let's let's go all in and see what we can do. yeah. and yeah, i'm pretty excited about it. >> you know, after the sixth. after the seventh, i had a pretty good idea that he was going to go out there and try to finish it. so credit to him. what a what a nice feather. and a two time cy young award winners. cap. >> they can't say it anymore. you know, complete game, shutout, no hitter. leave me alone. right. he doesn't go. no, he doesn't go. you know good that feels just did it. leave me alone. >> first place dodgers visiting the a's. bottom line two outs. two on for shohei ohtani who rips a fastball up when he connects. it looks like this thing might go to mars. three run jack. his 33rd bat flip included dodgers down six five. will smith ground ball. and that's your ball game. a's hang on six five. there's a lot of speculation about brandon aiyuk having his contract issues resolved. when we saw aiyuk hug coach shanahan at practice. well
11:32 pm
according to kyle that was just a bro hug. aiyuk is still without a contract extension in south bay. neighbors got together today in santa clara. niners quarterback brock purdy, along with george kittle and christian mccaffrey, meeting up with some san jose earthquakes players. they did jersey swaps and signed autographs. sports on abc seven, sponsored ♪ (just one kiss) ♪
