defending world series champion dodgers. webb pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings with ten strike outs. >> i keep saying you dream of these moments growing up as a player, and just be able to be a part of it and do it is something that's special for sure. >> the giants took game one 4-0. a great way to usher in a bustling weekend in the city. game two of the nlds is tonight at oracle park. first pitch is at 6:07. and of course it was a dream night for the giants and for their fans as well. did you know that this is the first time the giants and dodgers are facing off for the division title since the teams moved out west. cheryl hurd was at the game and takes us there. >> reporter: a lot of exciting people at oracle park, fans celebrating a win against the dodgers.

year during a game with another mexican soccer club, cruz asul. the man who jumped out of the stands threw punches at a quakes player. while they were arresting that man, a crowd followed them into the parking lot. some of those people got involved in a fight that left two people hurt. shifting gears now, there are new guidelines that could put an end to indoor mask mandates. next friday independent from the new bay area guidelines, san francisco is easing its mask requirements. the mayor's office announced restrictions will be lifted inside offices, gyms, religious gatherings and college classrooms. it's all provided that there are fewer than 100 people. the new rules will not apply to places unvaccinated children might frequent including stores and restaurants. it's not just san francisco, marin county says it's going to

loosen mask mandates in several indoor settings, also starting this coming week. here's "today in the bay." >> reporter: marin public health officer dr. matthew willis says they're making the changes because they're simply following the science. the venues will need to verify 100% full vaccination of people inside with no test out options, have controlled access and include no more than 100 people at a time. >> that includes gymnasiums, college campuses, college classes, offices, you might imagine ten individuals in the same office every day. all are fully vaccinated. >> the rules are essentially the same as those announced by san francisco and both are sticking to rules adopted by the rest of the bay area counties when it comes to other venues like bars, restaurants and larger indoors events. >> it ties to case counts,

vaccination rates and hospitalization rates. for ma to be 18 cases or less per day for a three week interval. >> marin county is down to 18 cases per day. if that level remains or drops, further restrictions could be lifted. ucf professor of infectious diseases, peter hong says other counties have similar stats. >> other counties are san mateo, and santa clara, and contra costa, alameda. >> reporter: i did check with the public health offices in san mateo and santa clara. they will not be issuing modifications to masking rules right now. they are going to stick to the rules that all of the bay area counties agreed to this week. san jose residents in japan town are feeling mask fatigue but fine with the rules for now. >> nobody likes to wear a mask. my ears hurt all the time from wearing t but it's more important to keep everybody safe. >> if they get rid of indoor

masking, it's fine either way. people who want to mask will mask. >> in san jose,. there are three benchmarks your county must hit before moving forward. county health officers are warning people it might be a while before we meet the requirements to drop indoor mask requirements, the first requirement is covid casecount. high, substantial, moderate low, health officers say the county must meet the cdc's yellow, which is the moderate transmission tier. you can see none of the nine counties. they're all in orange or red or the substantial tier. napa is still in the red, the high transmission tier and one more important point, the county must say in the tier for three weeks. the second requirement is hospitalizations. health officers say they must be low and stable. it will be up to the health officers to decide what that means in each county.

we know that hospitalizations are dropping across the bay area. this chart shows dropping steadily for the last few weeks. the final requirement, vaccines, 80% o must be ful vaccinated. none of our counties are there yet. marin county is the closest at 77%. it is 7:11 right now. we do have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, finger pointing in sonoma county after a covid outbreak in the courthouse and among deputies. why the sheriff's office is defending itself next.

. welcome back, it is just shy of 7:14. a beautiful cotton candy sky over look the transamerica pyramid and the bay. what a gorgeous way to start a busy weekend for the city. we have the giants, we have fleet week, the warriors offering an open practice. so much going on. vianey arana has your full micro climate forecast in just about three minutes from now, but first, a federal appeals court is allowing texas to temporarily resume its ban on most abortions. on wednesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked that ban. that's because the biden administration is challenging the law's constitutionality saying it goes against roe v. wade. abortion collins rushed to reopen. texas repealed the ruling. the justice department hasst a .

if that happens, the ban would remain in effect indefinitely until it's appealed again. the law is the strictest in the country effectively preventing women from getting an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. it also allows private citizens to sue anyone who performs or helps a woman get one. developments now in southern california where oil and tar from that orange county oil spill is now showing up on the coast in neighboring san diego county. the u.s. coast guard is investigating the spill which they now believe the damaged pipe was snagged by an anchor long before it started leaking. tens of thousands of gallons of oil spilled into the ocean after the pipeline ruptured last weekend. at a press conference, the coast guard investigators say an anchor may have snagged the pipeline up to one year ago. it's looking into every single ship that passed in the area that the pipe is. 5,000 gallons of crude have been recovered from the ocean.

a glimmer of hope for the troubled millennium tower. our investigative team has learned crews will move forward with a key test that could help determine if it's safe to restart the fix for the leaning high-rise. some experts fear the test itself could make the tilting tower lean even more. so the city of san francisco is requiring millennium to bring in an independent expert to advise if it's safe to continue. that consultant just gave the okay. crews will start digging a 3 foot wide hole next tuesday to install a steel casing, designed to hold a support pile, but the plan requires all work to stop immediately if the building settles more than a quarter of an inch at the corner of mission and fremont street. the millennium tower is currently leaning more than 22 inches to the west. governor newsom is now weighing in on tesla's big move to texas. >> he has invested untold amounts of money in this state

to create thousands and thousands of jobs but more important, he's pushed out the boundary of what's possible. as we have been reporting this week, ceo elon musk announced he's relocating tesla's headquarters from palo alto to austin, texas. governor newsom added he's encouraged by musk's commitment to increase production at tesla's production plant here in fremont. now, to a covid outbreak among north bay sheriffs deputies, it has attorneys and prosecutors worried and angry. all of the deputies work in the sonoma county courthouse, nine bailiffs tested positive last month. defense attorneys say they were never notified. the deputies were all vaccinated. health leaders aren't commenting, citing privacy. court administrators tell nbc bay area, they got inadequate information from the sheriff's department, but the sheriff's department insists its courtroom sergeant went quote, above and

beyond with contact tracing. b.a.r.t. may soon impose its own vaccine mandate. the regional rail agency's board of directors will vote on a new proposal to require all employees to get vaccinated by december 13th. exceptions will be made for some employees who qualify for a reasonable accommodation or a religious exemption. the board will vote on the mandate next week. and a live look for you in san francisco. the bay bridge this time, with those cotton candy skies, the city will now require all contractors who work alongside employees on a regular basis to be vaccinated. mayor london breed issued this new order. if a contractor who falls under the order doesn't get vaccinated, their employer could remove them from the job. this comes following the city's existing vaccine mandate for its 35,000 city employees. and happening today, in the south bay, the parade of champions is back in person in santa clara. this is video of the parade back
