CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP/KTLA/KSWB) — Hilary, downgraded from a Category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday morning, brought deadly floodwaters to streets across Mexico’s arid Baja California as it moved ashore. The storm is now carrying torrential rain into Southern California, as concerns mounted that flash floods could damage places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such heavy rain.Forecasters said Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing the potential for flash floods, mudslides, isolated tornadoes, high winds and power outages.Hilary hit the coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles south of Ensenada, on a path to hit mudslide-prone Tijuana Sunday evening, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the U.S. border.At least nine million people were under flash-flood warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm.

ATLANTA — A hit, who needs a hit?After blowing a late lead for the second straight game here when Taylor Rogers issued back-to-back walks and Ronald Acuña Jr. scored the tying run on a stolen base and and a throwing error with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, the Giants stole a win to avoid being swept in this three-game series when Atlanta’s ninth-inning reliever, Kirby Yates, was even more erratic.The Giants loaded the bases and scored the winning run getting a hit in the top of the ninth. Yates walked the leadoff man, Michael Conforto, and hit back-to-back batters to load the bases for Joc Pederson. Entering as a pinch-hitter, Pederson didn’t have to hit much — he watched four pitches outside the strike zone, and then awaited Conforto’s slow jog home to celebrate one of the most important walks of his career before taking first base.Not quite a walk-off the traditional sense, but a walk-off nonetheless. Final score: 4-3.Rogers was tasked with protecting a 3...Tropical Storm Hilary makes landfall in Southern California but Bay Area spared
