is promising because transportation is better for the environment. >> every time you take a public transit ride, you are moving to a low carbon form of transportation. >> he hopes people take the day seriously and ride public transit if they can. fewer cars means cleaner air. >> the goal is to demonstrate how clean the air can be and ironically, during covid, this will help air quality. >> in terms of discounts, bart is not offering any. the ferry is offering something. it is free tomorrow so if you are taking the ferry, you will save some money as well. dan: thanks, ryan. in terms of discounts tomorrow, bart is not offering changes in fares for its service. the prices of the same. the ferry will be free for clean-air day. anyone planning on taking that tomorrow can save money. look for that.

less physically, more the mental battle we will go through as these games mean a lot. we play meaningful games down to the end so we got some good practice. >> the versatility everyone in the bullpen has and all over the map, the position guys, pinch hitters, we have guys that are ready for all situations. the job isn't done for us. we won't settle on 107. it is time to win a championship. >> more news and notes to come as the giants get ready for the next series, the n.l. ds, against the cardinals-dodgers winner. first pitch writing night at oracle park. -- friday night at oracle park. larry: yankees-red sox at fenway park, the green monster draped in the american flag. boston on the board first, xander bogaerts with a homerun. red sox taken early 2-0 lead. more trouble in the third, kyle sure -- schwarber. $300 million doesn't get you once -- what it

once did. right now 3-0 red sox in the fifth. andrew wiggins did get vaccinated and then explained his reluctance last night after the warriors preseason game. he says he tries to avoid putting chemicals in his body of any kind, adding he had an allergic reaction to some medicine a couple years ago and wiggins admitted if you needed surgery, he would take whatever medicine the doctors prescribed for him. but the unknowns of the vaccine in the long caused his reluctance to take the shot. >> it was a scary moment. i know a lot of people get reactions, who are getting reactions or injuries from getting the vaccination and also, just -- i don't know what it will do to me in 10 years. larry: klay thompson continuing his rehab from injury, is now apparently practicing to become a ninja. yeah. abc 7's sports

team dr. from ucsf points out, the fact that klay can move on an uneven surface like sand is a very good sign in the recovery process. and he is looking pretty dangerous with the stick. all of that is good. i want to come back to the andrew wiggins story because beforehand, andrew wouldn't explain what his reluctance was all about. i was really happy he came out and said, i had something occur couple years ago and i didn't want to repeat that and that is why he was reluctant. a lot of people may feel that way. much better to say that then, i'm doing my own research on facebook or whatever nonsensical thing people are coming up with. he did get the shot. he had one day where he was under the weather, but appears to be fine now and full speed ahead for the warriors. dan: it is nice that he just told us his reasoning. larry: it is well thought out so

i'm glad he did it. kristen: coming up tonight starting at 8:00, three hours of the bachelor in paradise, followed by abc 7 news at 11:00. that does it for this edition of abc 7 news. dan: for spencer and larry and everyone, we appreciate your time. have a nice evening. we will see you tonight at 11:00.
