within the last hour, officials said the blaze has tripled in size. >> the laboratory is gone, the offices are gone. the wine's all destroyed. >> a number of homes and businesses have burned, and thousands are still threatened. and new video just in, showing flames engulfing buildings as the luxury meadowwood napa resort. now from abc 7, live, breaking news. >> we just learned the glass fire tripled in size today. thousands of people are evacuated, and we're getting in new video of homes and wineries that have burned down. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm dion lim. let's get to what we know on the glass incident fire, burning in napa and sonoma counties. we just learned it's burned over 36,000 acres and there is no containment. tens of thousands are evacuated. >> the fire did make it to

oakmont and into annadale early this morning. but there was a vealiant firefight here on the east side of santa rosa to save as many homes as they could. and the statement i heard is they have saved far more than they lost. >> six shelters are set up across the counties, and officials are working to set up a seventh. one of the most famous resorts in the bay area has sustained heavy fire damage. let's go to reporter kate larson at the meadowwood resort in st. helena tonight. kate? >> reporter: hey, i've been here for the better part of an hour now, watching this building here. this is a five-star resort and club in napa valley. this is a hotel room, a lodging room that has just been burning to the ground. i saw it in flames about 5:00, and we've just watched disintegrate.

i've been speaking to the fire crews and they've been here since 2:00 in the morning, fighting fires all over this property. they say a number of buildings have burned, including the building that houses a very well-known restaurant on this property. i spoke to the firefighters. they told me they've been up for 30 hours fighting the glass fire. they've been here at meadowwood since 2:00 this morning. an unbelievable firefight just on this one property, with so much around this area as you have seen, is just completely engulfed in flames. there was a firefighter leaning up against the fire truck, he had a can of energy drink next to him and had his head in his hands falling asleep. they are so exhausted. it is so hot here because of the weather. you get next to the flames and it gets really intense for these firefighters. of course, everyone here in napa valley, in sonoma county, the entire wine country who have been dealing with this

unbelievable fires. >> it appears that we have lost kate larson's signal. this often happens during fire coverage because of so much happening around us. let's go now to sonoma county where wayne freedman continues our live team coverage. he is in kenwood tonight. wayne, that ash we have seen steadily build on that car next to you. >> reporter: it is an interesting way to maesh whatever's happening here. it's been raining ash at times. if you look at the head, it keeps gathering and collecting. but that's not the only visual phenomena. you can barely see the sun here. now, i don't know about you, but when is the last time you could barely see the sun an hour before sunset? it's been that kind of day around here, a lot of hits and misses. in the sonoma county fire zone tonight, the difference between losing a home or maybe keeping

it has come down in some cases to fate and luck. in this village, this is the down side. a triplex burning, a victim of triage after a night filled with fire. >> it was jumping into the trees and jumping across here and we couldn't keep it back. >> what direction was the fire blowing? >> coming across here like this. but it was doing the same thing over there, come thing way, coming from every direction. >> reporter: steve ledson, just last week we did a story with him how smoke taint has ruined some 2020 vintages. but tragedy is relative. how could he have known a few days later flames would surround his wine making castle in kenwood. >> we fought the fire for several hours. there's only so many firemen that can come. >> reporter: as a farmer, he has wells and a water truck. between last night and this morning, they filled it five

times. by 2:00 p.m. -- >> this is all going down. >> reporter: this was his last remaining hot spot. the flames had come so close that they ignited plastic pipes underneath the property. they could have spread to the inside walls of his iconic castle. >> i don't want to think about it. >> reporter: we're back live. this is what he was trying to avoid. what you see in back ground, those flames, that is the house next door. when he arrived this morning, it was already in flames and there was nothing he could do. that's only a few hundred yards from his winery. so he feels very fortunate tonight. he hopes the worst is over. wayne freedman, "abc7 news." >> a sentiment i think many of us share. wayne, many thanks. here is a look at the current evacuations in sonoma counties. areas shaded in red are under evacuation orders. areas in yellow are under warnings. we don't have an estimate

from fire officials on how many homes and buildings have been destroyed but we know of several wipe wineries that have burned. cornell bernard is live in st. helena tonight with this story. cornell? >> reporter: dan, the glass fire has been burning all around us, all day to the east. silverado trail and now to the west off of highway 29. this is the newest area of concern for firefighters. this hillside, home to wineries and many luxury homes. sadly, we saw and talked to one winery owner who watched part of his winery burn this morning. >> i should have stayed up all night, but i never thought the fire would jump the highway. >> reporter: he says his worst nightmare has come true. parts of his winery caught fire early monday, and was still

burning hours later. his very own employees had to grab hoses to put the flames out. >> our laboratory's gone, offices are gone, the wine's all destroyed. >> reporter: by midday, the glass fire was getting closer, still threatening this winery, built in 2007. >> the fire is maybe 150 yards, no more from where we're standing. yeah, i'm nervous. i know that firefighters are stretched thinly. and i'm sure they're working their butts off. i just wish they could have saved our warehouse. >> reporter: further north, smoldering rubble could be seen off of highway 29. hilside flames visible from c cowstoga. >> the fire is burning to the east, west and south of us, so we are kind of pinned up here. we do still have three evacuation routes that aren't

compromised. cal fire, and napa county fire are working it hard and keeping close tabs on it. so depending on if it hits certain thresholds, that determines when we evacuate the rest of the community. >> reporter: yeah, the mayor tells us that he is optimistic tonight that the rest of the town will not have to be evacuated, because he says he has faith in cal fire. what i want to talk about two evacuation centers that have been opened here in the napa valley. the first one is at the cross walk community church in napa. the second is at the yontville community center. we're live in the napa valley, cornell bernard, "abc7 news." >> thank you. here is a nap of the evacuations. the areas in blue are mandatory. the yellow parts of the map are places under evacuation warnings. fire crews continue to put out spot fires in the skyhawk neighborhood in east santa rosa.

dan noyes continues our live team coverage with a story of a man who saved several properties, dan, with his garden hose, which is hard to imagine. >> reporter: it's an amazing storey. i have to tell you, the air is very thick here. the ash is still falling. i spoke with a battalion chief earlier who said they were able to save 18 homes in very close calls but lost seven homes and their work is not over yet. some of the homes that were destroyed by the shady fire flared up late today. crews returned to douse the flames and prevent any more flare-ups from the inferno that hit here after 11:00 p.m. last night. >> golf ball size of fire dropped out of the sky and started lighting all these homes on fire. >> reporter: he drove his family to safety and returned to use his hose to save his house and several of his neighbors. as we talked, he spotted another flareup and put it out.

he's been doing this since last night with no sleep. with wildfires returning again and again, he's considering a move. >> i have -- i have had three, four years of this. there's nothing pretty about this blame anymore. it's all burned. >> reporter: the random nature of a wildfire is on full display, one house destroyed, the one next door up touched. one owner selling their house in escrow, but will the deal go through? the firefighters tell me they've been here all night, they're just exhausted. they say that normally it's 24 hours on and 24 hours off. but in cases like this, they'll just keep on working until the crisis is over. we saw firefighters from the state office of emergency services resting near the wildfire here annadale state park. homes lined the park, but the flames creeping along. >> what we're seeing behind us is good for the park, because there's no wind. >> reporter: the ranger tells me the flames are clearing all that

fuel that could contribute to a bigger wildfire. so crews are standing by in case those smaller flames turn into what they saw along the ridgeline in east santa rosa last night. >> it was probably 150 foot flame lengths at times. it was staggering to see that. this is the new normal. this is what we're faced with now in the west. >> reporter: back live now. we are taking a look across the valley. you can see the path of the wildfire. look at how it spared several homes, but it just rushed across that valley up here to this neighborhood where i am now. i have to say just a bit earlier today that pg&e was on the scene, making quick work, capping off those gas mains in a safe way. and they are gone now. the firefighters plan on staying overnight because they are concerned about these fires flaring up and other embers coming and causing more problems in this neighborhood. dan noyes, "abc7 news." >> they have worked so

tirelessly. let's get a check now with spencer christian and the weather conditions and spencer, this is really a trifecta. i mean, try, windy, and hot. >> that is true, dion. if there's any encouraging news in a tragic situation like this, the wind is diminishing now significantly. these are the conditions near the fire. 83 degrees, still quite warm obviously. relative humidity has been very, very low, 21%. look at the wind. steady wind about 8 miles per hour. no gusts to speak of at the surface. we still have a few moderate gusts in the higher elevations, but nothing like overnight when some locations had 50 to 60-mile-per-hour gusts. high fire danger in effect for much of the evening. it is expected to expire at 9:00 tonight and we'll have poor air quality the rest of the week with the amount of smoke accumulating in the air. >> spencer, thanks. we have further coverage on the

wildfires on abc7news.com and our app. that includes our wildfire tracker that shows you exactly where active fires are burning. get information on evacuations and air quality. a lot more to bring you. coming up, the fire takes a destructive path down

the pain is always around the corner.o once again, sky 7 live over the glass fire, just about four miles south of lake bariessa. the fire has tripled in size to more than 36,000 acres.

laura anthony is live in the deer park neighborhood. last time we got a check with you, the devastation was all around. >> reporter: it is, diop. this is an example of what's happened in many neighborhoods in napa county. this is the adventist elementary school, what is left of this particular building. you can see classroom desks and chairs scattered about. this building probably bumped in a matter of hours, like so many other buildings around here, including unfortunately, many homes. the glass fire was far from finished this morning as it continues its destructive march. much of it along silveredo trail. >> this whole neighborhood was engulfed. >> flames roared toward his neighborhood sunday night, consuming his home and dozens of others along sunnyside road. >> we got out of here about 2:45.

and it was like a firestorm. it was fires on both sides of the street. the school here was burning down. the houses here all around were engulfed in flames. >> reporter: the school is foothills adventist elementary. the main building was completely destroyed. like so many before it, the wind whipped glass fire seems random in its destruction, leaving some buildings in ruins, while others, like this home on glass mountain road, are unscathed. >> the fire got extremely close. >> reporter: abner considers himself among the lucky. he mcs and lives here. more than a century old, located in the shadow of glass mountain, where the fire started sunday morning. >> i'm feeling an angel must have been hovering here, guarding the place and kept it from burning. i don't know what else to think when everything else burned and

this property survived. >> reporter: unfortunately, that building that manager of that property felt lucky. this case here, this school obviously not so lucky. i can tell you, though, there are some classrooms behind me down below where i'm standing that appear to be in pretty good shape. so like so many of these fires, dan and dion, this is apparently rather random. ky tell you finely that if there's any good news this afternoon or evening, it is still warm here, but as we stand here right now, there's virtually no wind. let's hope it stays that way. laura anthony, "abc7 news." >> that is something to be thankful for at the moment. thank you, laura, very much. there are several evacuation sites open. stephanie sierra is live at the sonoma marin fair grounds tonight. >> reporter: the fair grounds is one of three evacuation centers

open here in petaluma. i want to reiterate, it is at full capacity. partly due to covid-19 restrictions. families here are spaced not six, but eight feet apart due to covid-19 restrictions. for those who couldn't make it in, are now parked on this lot. there's plenty of space here. we want to make sure to reiterate that. but those who are here are hoping they have somewhere to come home to. >> we just heard more and more sirens. >> reporter: val and tony are living in fear. their home here in santa rosa, just miles from the fire line. >> it jumped highway 12 over to oakmont. >> reporter: the two, just a fraction of the thousands who evacuated, seeking shelter at the fair grounds. ceo dr. alison keaney explains the property, transformed from a covid testing site to a shelter overnight. >> people have different needs, so we have automobiles and car camping in one place, people who

need a roof over their heads are sheltered in another place. we're just trying to make it work for everybody. no matter how they arrive here. >> reporter: approximately 160 evacuees from a senior living facility in santa rosa are temporarily staying inside several buildings spaced eight feet apart. ed wayne thought his friend was one of them. >> if there's someone who needs help, how could you not? i'm sorry. we just -- you've got to help. you've got to be there. people need help. >> reporter: that's what cathy is trying to do. her friends evacuated from the santa rosa bird rescue center. >> so several of them had to leave their homes in the middle of the night. >> reporter: just like valerie and tony. >> are you scared? >> in some sense, as they say, you hope for the best, prepare for the worst. >> reporter: we're back with you live for a picture just east of

highway 101 where you can see that haze hovering the east foothills. just a couple of hours ago, we could see those foothills clearly, and now the haze is coming through. conditions getting very smoky. it's getting harder to breathe, even here in petaluma. just a gloomy reminder this is only the beginning for many of these families. live in petaluma, stephanie se yara, "abc7 news." >> stephanie, thank you. heat waves and fires. scientists point to climate change and say t

♪ i got it all from you ♪ i'm always pushing through ♪ i know we'll make it to the finish line ♪ ♪ i know you're waiting on the other side ♪ ♪ i'm like you on-demand glucose monitoring. because they're always on. another life-changing technology from abbott. so you don't wait for life. you live it. in the tubbs fire. the flames, the ash, it was terrifying. thousands of family homes are destroyed in wildfires. families are forced to move and higher property taxes are a huge problem. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims so families can move without a tax penalty. nineteen will help rebuild lives. vote 'yes' on 19.

experts say these days of extreme heat are signs of what lies ahead for our planet's climate. >> today, we reached triple digits in the east bay prompting fire departments to prepare for the possibility of more destructive fires. here's luz pena. >> reporter: unprecedented heat that researchers at stanford university have been studying for years. they say today is just a glimpse of what lies ahead. >> there are reports about a degree celsius of warming just in the last four decades. this means we're much more likely to experience severely warm autumn seasons. >> reporter: professor and climate scientist has been tracking this change of climate in our state that is visible to the naked eye.

>> it has profound implications. it's created a different climate for california. it's a climate where we're much more likely to experience severe heat waves and experience extreme wildfire weather. >> reporter: in castro valley, temperatures hit triple digits and some are using their cars as cooling centers. >> i plug it in and it keeps me cool. and this has like the foil on one side. >> reporter: this dry heat is prompting firestations across the bay area to prepare for more potential wildfires. >> so all of the factors coming in, this is a worst case scenario for fire season. we have triple digit temperatures with low humidity and high temperatures. >> they're ready to respond to any type of vegetation fires or calls. and they're prepositioned out in the trivalley area and other areas.

>> reporter: with multiple fires burning, the main concern across the bay area is to not be caught off guard. luz pena, "abc7 news." >> all right. spencer, all of this talk about climate change we're seeing the effects really this season as much as ever. >> we really are, dan. it becomes more evident each passing year. it's not a belief system, it's science. it's like covid-19, it doesn't care if you believe in it or not, it's here. surface wind, it's relatively calm over the north bay, which is really good news. even the higher elevations where many of the fires are burning. still breezy, on shore developing here along parts of the coastline, as a little bit of fog is surging up from the south. beautiful sunset, we haven't had many beautiful pictures to show you. i'm proud to present this one. 65 here in san francisco, oakland 75. 86 at palo alto. 93 at san jose. gilroy 90.

57 in half moon bay. we have had almost a 30 degree drop in temperatures from our high today of 94. it's now only 65. you can see a little bit of a marine layer, moving through the golden gate, pushing out over the bay, with the haze and smoke above. temperatures in the north bay that were near 100 earlier today are in the 80s, which is good news. high fire danger through the evening. hot tomorrow, but cooler at the coast and poor air quality through friday. forecast animation shows the development of that marine layer i referred to earlier. it will stay near the coast tomorrow and give us another hazy, sunny day in our inland areas and over the bay. overnight lows will be mild to warm, low to mid 60s but cooler on the coast where we'll see upper 50s. tomorrow's high also range from low 70s at the coast to 75 here in san francisco and low to mid

80s around the bay shoreline. over in the inland east bay, upper 90s again tomorrow. it's possible one of those locations could hit 100. and this is the accuweather seven-day forecast. notice how the inland heat is going to hold through most of the week. upper 90s to about 100 in the hottest inland areas through the remainder of the weekend. we have spare the air alerts through friday. so there won't be much improvement in air quality. around the bay shoreline, warm conditions during the week with highs in the low to mid 80s. on the coast, mild, upper 60s to about 70. certainly cooler than the coast was today. over the weekend, temperatures drop into a more seasonal range and more comfortable range in all parts of the bay area. and we'll end on a seasonal note next monday. that's the accuweather

no you abc 7, live breaking news. >> once again, taking a live look from sky 7 over the glass fire, south of lake bariessa, looking west. we just learned the entire city

of calstoga is under evacuation orders. that means everyone there needs to leave. current open evacuation routes, those include route 29 south and north. also 128 north. that fire has tripled in size today to more than 36,000 acres. cal fire says crews are up against a dangerous triple threat of gusty winds, low humidity and hot temperatures. >> so treacherous. in the line of fire is meadowwood, napa valley, which sustained heavy damage. the five-star resort is a sprawling 250 acres, including a golf course and michelin starred restaurant. cal fire hasn't said which structure on the property are still standing. this is not the first time for some of these evacuees. some have had to leave their homes repeatedly because of fires. cal fire assistant deputy director talked about it today on "abc7 news" at 4:00.

but to have people evacuated multiple times in a year, we are empathetic for that. we don't want to see that. but these fires are dangerous. these are fast-moving and destructive fires. so getting people out of harm's way is critical. in order for us to reduce the impact, reduce the potential fatalities, early evacuation is key here. >> cal fire says it tries to give as much notice as possible to the people who are being evacuated. >> we do want to give you a closer look at just how the area has been ravaged by fire over the past several years. you'll see right here this area that's in red shows you exactly where the glass fire is burning. and for some perspective on this map, you can see all of that brown here, this is where the lnu complex fire burned. you'll remember it started august 16th, and has burned 363,000 acres, and is now 98% contained. and finally, one more on the map here. you can see these three areas in

black. these burned in 2017. these three glazes, the atlas, nuns and tubbs fire. you can see with these recent fires here, totally surrounded the glass fire. for on demand wildfire videos, download the "abc7 news" bay area app. so you can stay connected on your tv devices. it's on roku, on amazon fire, apple tv and android tv go. to the california wildfire section. we also have news casts streaming live and on demand. well, the worldwide covid-19 death toll just passed 1 million. right now, the u.s. has had more than 7 million total cases, and 204,000 deaths. president donald trump announced the federal government is sending 100 million rapid tests to states. these tests will help k-12 schools reopen across the country. covid-19 cases are increases in 33 states.

the nation's stop infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauci spoke about what that means with abc news earlier today. he fears cases and deaths could rise unless americans use more common sense. >> when you start congregating in bars without masks or in settings where people are crowded together indoors without masks, that's asking for trouble. >> and dr. fauci believes upcoming colder weather across the country could force more people indoors, driving a spike in covid-19 cases. now, some bay area counties could be moving into new tiers of the state's reopening plan tomorrow. today, governor newsom had some good news about covid-19 infection rates, but there is one concerning trend. david louie has more on these latest numbers. >> reporter: the governor started his briefing with good news that the covid-19 positivity rate has fallen

almost one percentage point in the past two weeks and 20% decrease in coronavirus hospitalizations over the same 14-day period. however, the governor says health officials are watching a trend in the bay area that is on the rise. an indicator that tracks the virus' ability to spread. >> you'll see in the bay area alameda, contra costa among many counties, you can see that trend line where the last few weeks, it is beginning to march back up. >> reporter: still, he hinted there will be news tomorrow that more businesses might be able to reopen in some areas. >> as we move away from red into orange and yellow, more and more opportunity to modify our conditions as it relates to business activity. >> reporter: this is a look at that color coded system that you can check out at abc7news.com. the governor encouraged people to get a flu shot then. >> i've done this every single year as long as i can remember. it is simple to do and safe to do.

>> reporter: to prove how safe and painless it is, he took off his jacket and had a nurse inject the vaccine into his right arm. it was over before he realized it. >> i wanted to show my biceps. but i can't do that. >> reporter: you missed your chance, governor. david louie, "abc7 news." microsoft says it's "rerouting traffic to help resolve a problem that may have kept you from accessing your email or getting work done online." users started having trouble signing on to microsoft 365 about 2:00 this afternoon. today's glitch mainly affected customers not already signed into office 365 platforms, like outlook.com, office.com and power platform, as well. well, we are coming up on the first presidential debate. up next, breaking down the poll numbers, as many voters say they've already made up their minds. here's another look at the glass fire from sky 7. the city of calastoga is

we are just under 24 away from the first presidential

debate of 2020, and there appears to be little movement in voter preference. >> numbers show president trump and joe biden in close contention in florida and arizona. karen travers has more from the white house. >> reporter: joe biden leads president trump 54-44 among likely voters in a new abc news poll. the exact same numbers as in mid august. >> we have gone through epidemiology of a 100 year pandemic, a 75-year depression, civil and social unrest, nothing moves. >> reporter: polling arms show joe biden with the largest lead at this point in the raise of any candidate since 1996. and with just 36 days until election day, the president is once again on the defensive. >> it's fake news. >> reporter: responding to a bombshell report in the new york times that he's facing personal debt totalling $421 million and he paid just $750 in income

taxes in 2016 and 2017. with the first presidential debate tuesday night, what, if anything, can shake up this stable race? >> the debate isn't going to change anything. the debate by now, the majority of people have made up their mind. >> reporter: the universe of uncommitted voters is very small. a net total of 5% voters that can be movable. and the clock is ticking. early voting is under way in two dozen states. >> there's going to be a lot of people out here voting, not just today but throughout early voting and on election day. so i wanted to get it out of the way. >> reporter: that new poll found just 46% of americans say they plan to vote in person on election day. 50% say they plan to vote early on absentee. ca >> and we will air this first presidential debate tomorrow night. coverage is 6:00 p.m. right here on abc 7. with the wildfires, of course, comes the bad air

quality. why experts say now the pain is always around the corner.o

>> >> we want to take another live look from sky 7. this is now showing some smoke and what appears to be some

flames on the right hand side of your screen from the glass fire. there are new evacuation orders right now for the entire city of calastoga. current open routes include route 29, south and north, along with 128 north. another spare the air day is in effect right now, and it will stay that way through friday. by then, we'll have had 21 spare the air days for the month of september. 70% of the month. >> and with the bad air, you need an air purifier. chris nguyen has more on what to look for before you buy one. >> reporter: if you've been on the fence about getting an air purifier for your home, now is the time to buy. >> if the fires get even worse, at least you have an option that doesn't involve a clean air shelter. >> reporter: dr. mary pruniky

says wildfire smoke can be dangerous, even for those who normally aren't as sensitive. >> even if you have your doors and windows are closed doesn't mean you have good indoor air quality. >> reporter: as you shop, look for heppa air filters. they filter particulate matter. >> we want to make sure we're keeping our immune systems functioning as good as possible. >> reporter: an active carbon filter can also be helpful. >> make that investment knowing you're investing in your family's health and wellness. it should be a long-term product for you. and ensure that you do payment nan -- maintenance on the filters. >> reporter: he says you should look at the rooms you spend the most time in and plan your purchase accordingly. >> some of the real small machines, while they might have an attractive price point, and are probably better than nothing, might not really be

able to do the job in a larger room in your home. >> reporter: sales at brondell have gone up 50% since the wildfires started and they expect to sell out in the coming weeks. the ongoing pandemic with the smoke is forcing many to rethink how they can stay healthy. chris nguyen, "abc7 news." >> we bought an air purifier two or three weeks ago, and it does seem to help. >> and you have to look for the special filters to make sure it's the most effective one for your home. so spencer, hopefully we can get some relief, but it's not coming soon. >> it would be great to get some of that natural air purification when the marine layer is deep and we have a vigorous on shore flow. it's developing tonight, but just a mild one. overnight lows in the low to mid 60s. and cooling effect that we feel tomorrow will be mainly at the coast. still hot inland. highs will range from low 70s at the coast to low to mid 80s around the bay shoreline. and inland areas that were 101,

102, 103 today will be 98, 99, 100 tomorrow. so just gradual cooling is expected later through the week. as you pointed out, we have spare the air alerts through the remainder of this week. air quality will be at its poorest in the north bay tomorrow. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. and the heat is going to hold on inland as we get gradual cooling around the bay shoreline. nice cooling effect on the coast. as we get to the weekend, all areas will be a lot cooler, which is good news. >> thank you very much. some mixed news for the 49ers in sports. larry beil is live with that. larry? >> yeah, dan. the 49ers lose another player. but they are getting their best receiver back. so that's something. plus, he's only 22, about to make his first playoff start.

i'm to help california's 19 most vulnerable.

over 24,000 homes were destroyed by wildfires in less than two years. too many of those victims are also hit with a sudden tax hike after their forced to move. it's wrong. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims and limits taxes on seniors and severely disabled homeowners. join firefighters and emergency responders in voting 'yes' on 19. good evening. after back-to-back one and done wild card playoff appearances, the a's begin a playoff series with the white sox tomorrow at noon, first pitch. the a's will be home for the entire series. but without fans, i'm not sure how much of a homefield advantage that is. jesus luzardo will start for the a's against lucas giolito. the white sox are 14-0 against

left-handed starters this year, but they have yet to see luzardo. the big stage will not be new for him. he pitched in the a.l. wild card game last year coming out of the bullpen. >> we brought him in the wild card game, and he looked like a veteran on the mound. you know, pitched really well. he's composed, great stuff. he's one of those guys that relishes these type of games. so at a young age, it's rare to see. but i think the experience he got last year and some of the attributes we talked about would mean that he wouldn't be afraid of the first game tomorrow. >> getting my feet wet in postseason baseball last year really helped me a lot, will help me a lot throughout this year and moving forward in my career. i'm glad that they trusted me and gave me the confidence to go out there and throw three innings last year. so hopefully i can do the same things this year. >> luzardo only 22 years old. the 49ers back home after two weeks in new york, and two

wins that unfortunately wiped out a lot of their best players. one significant casualty in the victory over the giants yesterday is tight end jordan reed. expected to miss six to eight weeks now because of a left knee sprain. so he's going on that short-term injured reserve. the niners away from the dreaded turf at metlife stadium that decimated their roster. so george kittle may be able to return this sunday at home. >> he's disappointed but not discouraged. he was really liking where he was at. this is going to take some time, probably six, eight weeks. so i know he's disappointed in that. he'll hit rehab hard and hopefully we can weather the storm while he's gone and he'll some back to a good team. debo samuel, who has been out with a foot injury, went on instagram today captioning back in action with the bros.

he's eligible to return this week, but kyle shanahan, we'll see if he wants to rush him back given the lack of practice time. we count down to lebron and the lakers against the heat in the nba finals. game one is wednesday night here on abc 7. the warriors continuing their mini camp bubble workouts. andrew wiggins acquired mid season. he hasn't had the chance to play with steph and klay and dre all together. he says he's happy about that trade from minnesota to golden state. >> once i got here and settled, i was happy. just coming here and letting it all sink in and my mind is how it all became real from playing in the chase, being around clay and steph, draymond, all of it. >> andrew is a worker. he works every single day.

he puts his time in, and he's in great shape all the time. >> shocker in the nba today. doc rivers is out as coach of the l.a. clippers. rivers guided the clips for seven years, including leading them through the donald sterling mess. but this year, with kawhi leonard and paul george, it was championship or bust for the franchise, and the clips got bounced in round two. it's monday, so deep down i'm sure we all feel like daniel medvedev at the french open. his shot goes wide and he takes it out on his racket. medvedev, smash, like the hulk. doesn't that make you feel better? just kind of therapeutic. he lost in four sets. dan, yeah, we've known each other for a while. how many rackets do you think i would go through on a typical day, if that was the way i released my aggression?

>> a baker's dozen probably. >> on the low side. on the low side, right? >> on a good day. >> no question. yes. >> all right. that's it for this edition of "abc7 news." >> look for "abc7 news" on our app any time you wish. for dion lim, i'm dan ashley. and spencer christian, larry beil, we appreciate your time. >> have a wonderful night. see you back here tonight at 11:00.
