here's chris alvarez with more in this morning's sports. >> the a's welcome the angels friday, july 24th for the regular season opener. we're getting so close. the a's also welcoming jesus lozardo back to camp. the 22-year-old had missed all the summer camp so far spending quarantine in south florida. he was surprised he tested positive because he didn't have any symptoms. now he says he's happy to be back. >> it was amazing. it was probably the best day of 2020 for me by far, just i was going crazy locked up in a room, so being able to get back out here be back in a colosseum, be around thea of fun. >> the sound of the game returning is music to baseball fans everywhere. the giants are just trying to figure out these now sounds and music will be implemented in the stadium when play begins for real next week. >> i'm laughing because i never thought i would ever be asked --

answering questions about crowd noise. you want to be a manager, like answer a question about crowd noise being pumped into a stadium, i never expected that. >> well, the voice of the giants john miller joined the with authority podcast available every with on our streaming platforms and he talked about broadcasting with no fans in the stands. here's what he had to say. >> i was such a fan i bought atable top baseball game called stratomatic. it still exists. i thought it was more fun to play if i broadcast the games while i was playing so i would do the crowd noises, the public address. it was pretty bizarre if you happened to walk in on me. swing and there's a base hit.

number nine, roger maris, number nine. it was a pretty bizarre scene, and now i thought, wow, all these years later i may end up going full circle. i'll have to do the crowd myself. i'll be on that mic and be like base hit to left field. >> that is a must listen. time now for abc 7 call my play. you send the video and larry of course calls the action. here's tessa trying to tackle the game of golf. >> little tessa is trying to play golf but it's not that easy. oops, there goes the flag. this 2-year-old is quickly figuring out that golf can be a really frustrating sport. and, hey, no laughing. this is impossible. little tessa keeps swinging determined to make contact or

not. hey, tessa we just called your play on abc 7. >> that's a look at sports. let's send it back to you. >> that's so cute. you do it. that's adorable. great job. all right, lisa, what's it going to look like today? >> throwing a club at a young age, though, i don't know. all right, we're going to see some sun here. cloudy right now. 60 in santa cruz. sunny with highs in the low 70s so a nice peach day with lighter winds. and some shifting of our upper level atmosphere elements will allow for a slightly warmer air today inland. in fact, we're looking at maybe 4 to 6 degrees of warming. so right away you probably notice those low 90s by noontime in parts of our inland east bay and that's out towards the delta. so we are looking at that warmup maybe 4 degrees with relative humidity dropping a bit. but by 10:00 we still have some clouds, fog, 60s and 70s. and by the evening hours that

fog is back. so if you want to check out that comet you're going to have to go above the low deck of clouds, maybe mount tam or go well inland to check out the view. so it has been kind of rough because our marine layer has been with us day after day, and right now from our exploratorium camera can't even see the transamerica pyramid because it's certainly obscured from the low cloud deck. beautiful view here from our east bay hills camera with that fog just moving around. and it will continue to evaporate throughout the mid-morning hours. 61 oakland, mountain view, 59 in san jose with 55 in gilroy. it is 56 on the coast, and another vantage point from our east bay camera looking at a clear start with numbers in the 50s with clouds up in santa rosa as well as nevado and 58 by the delta. yesterday 80 in concord, 87 in

livermore. we're warming it up today. this is san rafael where that low cloud deck is certainly situated. a little mist and drizzle right along the coast and it evaporates and we're looking for sun even at the shoreline but those winds will be brisk to breezy out there certainly at our beaches. warmer for some inland, and haze fo you in the south bay, getting going with that moderate air quality and things should improve not only today but into the weekend. if you like it warm today and tomorrow is your day because numbers are going to come way down as we get into next week. here's a look at the peninsula. you climb to the upper 60s and with that afternoon sea breeze topping off at about 81, palo alto. how about 86 san jose, 83 in milpitas. a lot of sun for you. 64 pacifica, just partial sun there. 70 around the airport, looking at 82 nevado

inleheading innd thiss the num warmer. how about 93 in pittsburgh, 92 in livermore and tonight low clouds and fog back with us around the bay. remember if you want to check out that comet you have to go above a deck of low clouds. accuweather seven day forecast summer warmth today inland, tomorrow, and cool down throughout the middle of the week especially inland. liz? >> all right, lisa, thank you. masks are a necessity right now but pose problems for some. deaf and hard-of-hearing communities are running into issues of people wearing masks. so one woman started making sea through masks to help break the barrier. >> i don't know apparently i was destined for another era. i started working regular cloth mask from day one because i had fabric at home.

it has felt good to do something to use my home skills, you know, just to do something. i'm hard-of-hearing. i've really struggled to understand people through their masks. i got asked by someone in the community. i actually wasn't aware of them. and i was like, oh, sure, let me do some poking around. i ended up sewing one for myself. i really liked it and then i couldn't walk down the street without someone asking me where i got it and asking me if i could make one for them. it all kind of went from there. i've had a number of families who just reached out to say like thank you so much. our whole family has really been struggling. even if you're not hard-of-hearing i'm sure you've experienced just saying sorry, what? what i've come to appreciate is how much you miss in communication when you can only see someones eyes. it restores a little bit of humanity for all of us perhaps.
