SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — LaMonte Wade Jr. homered and six San Francisco pitchers combined for the shutout as the Giants edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0 Thursday to take three of four games in the series.Tristan Beck (3-0) allowed two hits and struck out three in four innings, following opener Scott Alexander.“(Beck has) been pretty consistently as tough a competitor as they come, with a quality sweeper, a couple of different shapes on his slider, and a guy who’s been attacking the strike zone,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said.Sean Manaea, Luke Jackson, Taylor Rogers and Camilo Doval handled the final four innings as San Francisco finished its longest homestand of the season 7-2.“I think these last three games have been exactly what we need against a division opponent who’s chasing us,” Wade said. “Everything is going to be close now.

Apple’s earnings top analysts’ forecasts, but year-over-year sales drop for third straight quarter

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:56:55 GMT

Apple’s eked out a slightly higher profit last quarter even though sales dipped during the period, a showing that may not be enough to sustain investor enthusiasm that recently made the iPhone maker the first publicly held U.S. company to be valued at $3 trillion.The results released Thursday covered April through June, the third consecutive quarter that the Cupertino, California, company has posted a year-over-year decline in revenue. That’s its longest stretch of falling sales in nearly seven years. Apple also indicated revenue for the current July through September quarter is expected to decline, despite the anticipated release of the next iPhone. The disappointing forecast, coupled with the lukewarm results for the past quarter, caused Apple’s stock to fall 2% in Thursday’s extended trading.If the shares behave similarly during Friday’s regular trading session, it will push Apple’s market value below the $3 trillion threshold it eclipsed in late June.Reve...
