PITTSBURGH (AP) — Asdrubal Cabrera is well versed in what can happen at the trade deadline. He found himself on the move four years ago when the Cleveland Indians sent him to Washington to help the Nationals make a playoff push. The second baseman is in the same position again with the floundering New York Mets . While he admits he’s wary of what the days leading up to July 31 could bring, he’s trying not to get worked up. The 32-year-old figures if he just comes to the park and hits the way he did in a 12-6 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday, he’ll be fine. “There’s nothing I can control. Whatever they do, they want to do what’s best for the team,” Cabrera said after going 3 for 5 with a home run and four RBIs. “I hope to stay here. I like New York. I like the team, the town.” Potential playoff teams in need of a bat are taking a long look at Cabrera, who boosted his home run total to 18 when he hit a tiebreaking two-run shot off Nick Kingham (5-5) in the fourth to put the Mets ahead to stay. Cabrera entered hitting just .184 (7 for 38) in his prior 12 games but snapped out by taking out his frustration on Kingham and three relievers. Wilmer Flores also hit a two-run homer and had three RBIs as the struggling Mets posted their highest run total since scoring a dozen times against Colorado on June 18. Amed Rosario and Jose Bautista had two hits each as New York sent the Pirates to their second straight loss following an 11-game winning streak that pushed Pittsburgh back into the postseason picture. Steven Matz (5-8) settled down after giving up two-run homers to David Freese and Josh Harrison in the early innings. Matz tied a career-high with nine strikeouts, walked two and retired his final 10 batters to win for just the third time in his last 11 starts. Matz called himself effectively wild and admitted he started to feel a bit better over his last two innings when his arm tired a bit. All nine of his strikeouts came in the first four innings. He pitched to contact over the last two innings, but only one ball left the infield. “It’s almost like I got a little tired and was able to stay smooth instead of muscle up a little bit and I think it helped me out,” Matz said. Freese and Harrison helped the Pirates dig out of early deficits but the Mets kept piling on. Kingham left after Cabrera’s shot in the fourth put New York ahead 6-4. The rookie allowed six runs and seven hits in three-plus innings, the second time in his last four starts he failed to get an out past the third. Command was an issue too. His four walks were a career high. “It makes everything more difficult,” Kingham said. “The other pitches don’t really come to happen. You don’t have a feel for it. It just kinda snowballs into one bad outing.” TRAINER’S ROOM Pirates: C Francisco Cervelli went 0 for 4 and committed an error in his return from concussion-like symptoms that had sidelined hinm since July 14. Cervelli described feeling like he had a “hangover” after getting hit by foul balls or bats in four consecutive games. Though the Cervelli has taken ground balls in practice, there are no plans to put him in a game in the infield anytime soon. “From my perspective, it’s like telling a matador not to fight bulls,” manager Clint Hurdle said. UP NEXT Mets: Jason Vargas (2-6, 8.60 ERA) is expected to come off the DL to start on Friday. Vargas has been out since June 20 with a strained right calf. To make room for Vargas the Mets optioned rookie Corey Oswalt to Triple-A Las Vegas. Pirates: Ivan Nova (6-6, 4.28 ERA) is 4-1 since returning from a stint on the DL with a sprained right ring finger on June 10. He is 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in five starts against the Mets.

CORONA (CBSLA) – A wildfire erupted Thursday near the entrance to a popular hiking spot in Corona and quickly grew to as large as 250 acres, authorities said. It was at 5 percent containment by the evening. The fire was reported at 1:20 p.m. in the Cleveland National Forest along Tin Mine Canyon off of Skyline Drive, according to fire officials. No homes have burned but more than 150 homes in the Orchard Glen community have been evacuated as airplanes drop retardant to keep flames from running down hillsides toward homes. Smoke could be seen from the Riverside (91) Freeway to the north and Interstate 15 to the east, prompting several calls to the California Highway Patrol. Evacuations were issued for the following roadways: Trudy Way, Folson Circle, Brannon Circle, Burrero Way, Rawley Street, Burnett Circle, Elker Road, Corbett Street, Gareth Circle, and Fanning Circle. One homeowner who had already been through the last big brush fire in Corona told CBS2’s Nicole Comstock he’s got his evacuation procedure down to a science. “Last time, we literally packed almost half the house in 45 minutes,” he said. “We got it down to about one suitcase.” Homeowner evacuating his Corona house with with dogs in tow. #SkylineFire burning not too far away. @CBSLA #KCAL9 pic.twitter.com/u6w1pb5QBf — Nicole Comstock (@ComstockNEWS) July 20, 2018 “Last time we evacuated, nothing happened, but you just never know […] it wasn’t this close, either,” said resident Tawny Perry. “There’s a little bit of sadness ’cause you don’t know what you’re gonna come home to considering how close it is,” David Ortega said. An evacuation center has been set up at Corona High School, 1150 W. 10th St. No injuries have been reported. There was no immediate word on the cause of the fire.

CLEVELAND (AP) — When he got back to the dugout, Austin Romine was greeted with smiling faces and laughter. “Why does everyone have fun watching a catcher round the bases?” he said. Romine chuckled, too. New York Yankees’ Austin Romine is congratulated by teammates in the dugout after scoring against the Cleveland Indians in the seventh inning at Progressive Field on July 14, 2018. (Photo by David Maxwell/Getty Images) New York’s backup catcher came all the way around and scored when Cleveland committed two errors on his routine double in the seventh inning, and the New York Yankees edged the Cleveland Indians 5-4 on Saturday night in a game that had several strange plays. “It was a bit of a wacky game,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who was ejected in the sixth. After the Indians tied it 4-all in the sixth when Jose Ramirez scored from second on an infield single, the Yankees went ahead off Mike Clevinger (7-5) on a play that brought Little League flashbacks back to everyone in the ballpark. Romine hit a shot in the gap that rolled to the base of the wall in right-center. But as he neared second, Indians right fielder Brandon Guyer bobbled the ball and Romine headed to third. But as he slid into the bag, second baseman Erik Gonzalez’s relay throw from the outfield skipped past Ramirez at third and headed toward Cleveland’s dugout. Clevinger did his best to corral the wayward throw on the track, but it had too much backspin, hopped out of play and Romine was awarded home. “It was unknown territory for me to head to third, and it turned out good,” Romine said, smiling. “Crazy hops like that happen when you’re playing hard. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those. I’m too busy trying to hit real home runs. I don’t think I even had one back in Little League.” Clevinger said it was frustrating not to be able to get his hands on Gonzalez’s throw. “It’s like chasing butterflies,” Clevinger said. “Baseball’s weird.” Didi Gregorius hit a three-run homer and Greg Bird added a solo shot for the Yankees, who moved 30 games over. 500 and kept pace with the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox. Indians All-Star Ramirez belted his 29th homer, giving the third baseman as many homers as he had all last season — and tying Mickey Mantle’s record for the most by a switch-hitter before the break. David Robertson (7-3) struck out three, Dellin Bentances worked the eighth and Aroldis Chapman got his 26th save in 27 tries. There was nice moment in the ninth when Indians catcher Yan Gomes found out he was an All-Star as he stepped in to face Chapman. Although Gomes struck out, he’ll never forget the matchup. “That was kind of a weird at-bat,” he said. “It was like the happiest strikeout. I had the weirdest feeling walking back. It was kind of weird.” JOSE HUSTLE Ramirez’s hustle allowed the Indians to tie it sixth and chase CC Sabathia, who made his 527th career start. The left-hander was an out away from escaping a second-and-third situation when Guyer hit a chopper to third that Miguel Andjuar fielded on an awkward hop. As Michael Brantley raced home, Yankees first baseman Bird came off the bag to grab his throw. Meanwhile, Ramirez never slowed when he rounded and scored ahead of Bird’s throw with a head-first slide. “He’s done that a couple times now,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “The guy has been out at first so we haven’t scored, but that’s incredible. Guyer did a really good job of getting down the line, but Josey, that only works if you’re going right from the jump. And it’s just like, his baseball internal clock is amazing.” OUTTA HERE Boone missed all the action. He was ejected in the sixth inning following another interesting play. Giancarlo Stanton swung and missed a 0-2 pitch that appeared to glance off the slugger’s hand. Boone argued that it should have been a foul ball, and was tossed. By rule, a strike is called even when the ball hits a batter while swinging. “It looks like they got the call right after I watched it up here (in the clubhouse),” Boone said. “I thought it was a foul ball, so I didn’t think it was a good look, and I’m trying to influence things a little bit out there.” MOVING UP Sabathia tied Jerry Koosman and soon-to-be Hall of Famer Jack Morris for 36th place on the career starts list. UP NEXT Indians All-Star RHP Trevor Bauer (8-6, 2.23 ERA) takes on RHP Masahiro Tanaka (7-2, 4.68 ERA) in the series finale. Bauer has made seven straight quality starts with at least eight strikeouts and no home runs allowed, one shy of Pedro Martinez’s record set in 2002. Bauer will only pitch in Tuesday’s All-Star game if it goes to extra innings. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — How often do you wash that dish towel hanging in your kitchen? Probably not nearly enough, according to a new study. Not many people smell their dish towels, but a funky aroma is probably a warning sign that yours may be harboring some nasty bacteria. “Routinely, we don’t wash those towels as often as we do other apparel of daily use around the house,” said Dr. Frank Esper at the Cleveland Clinic. “Usually those towels can last there for weeks, if not even longer. And so they were testing exactly how much bacteria has accumulated on those towels and they’re finding a substantial amount of bacteria.” The testing Dr. Frank Esper is referring to is a study presented last month at the American Society for Microbiology Meetings. Researchers collected 100 kitchen towels after one month of use. About half contained bacterial growth such as E. coli and staph. That’s concerning because bacteria found on multi-use kitchen towels after handling meat products could be a source of cross-contamination, which could lead to food poisoning. You should wipe down and sanitize food preparation areas often, especially after preparing uncooked meat. “It’s never going to be completely zero-bacteria at all. Just a moderate amount of bacteria, making sure that we change the towels, which was the whole subject of the study, but also, swabbing the tables every so often with bleach or some sort of disinfectant,” said Esper. Don’t forget to clean other parts of the kitchen — like refrigerator door handles, microwave handles and sink faucets, because these places are touched by many and are often touched before consuming food. While bacteria can be hazardous in certain situations, most of the ones that were found on the towels are the kind you would expect to find around the house. So you don’t have to obsess over your kitchen towels, just have them visit the washing machine at least once a week.
