Hunter Feduccia on fire, Christian Zazueta scoreless
In Dodgers minor league games for Thursday, June 12th, we have a shutout in Low-A, Patrick Copen making his second Double-A start, and a pair of rehabbing pitchers in Triple-A. Player of the day Christian Zazueta was acquired by the Dodgers in February 2024 along with Matt Gage in the Caleb Ferguson trade. The 20-year-old is having a stellar season at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga, leading the league in wins (6), second in ERA (2.59), fourth in strikeouts (59), and third in WHIP (1.096). On Thursday, Zazueta pitched his fifth game (in 12 starts), where he has lasted at least five innings without giving up a run. He is ranked the Dodgers' 19th-best prospect by MLB Pipeline. Triple-A Oklahoma City The Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies) pushed across a run in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Comets 9-8. Oklahoma City came back from deficits three times only to lose it in the end. Emmet Sheehan made his third rehab start for the Comets, and gave up four runs on six hits in three and one-third innings with seven strikeouts. Sheehan has a remarkable 16 strikeouts against only one walk in 9⅓ innings over his three Triple-A starts. Advertisement Nick Frasso pitched an inning and gave up two runs on three hits. Those were the first runs Frasso surrendered in June after three appearances and five and two-thirds innings. Edgardo Henriquez needed only ten pitches (seven strikes) to complete one scoreless inning. On the offensive side, James Outman (13) and Alex Freeland (eight) hit home runs, and Hunter Feduccia drove home three runs with a single and a triple. Feduccia has 16 hits in his last 34 at-bats, raising his batting average to .299, and his on-base percentage over .400 for the second consecutive year. Double-A Tulsa The Drillers lost a tight game to the Springfield Cardinals 4-3 when the Cardinals scored two runs in the bottom of the tenth to walk it off. Patrick Copen made his second start for the Drillers and went five innings, giving up two runs and four hits. After a very strong start in High-A, Copen has now struck out 15 batters in 10⅓ innings while giving up three earned runs in Double-A. High-A Great Lakes The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Brewers) beat the Loons 9-2, scoring five runs in the ninth inning to turn a close game into a laugher. Great Lakes starter Luke Fox gave up a run in the first inning and three in the fifth to take the loss. Zyhir Hope doubled home two runs in the sixth inning for the Loons' only runs. Low-A Rancho Cucamonga Zazueta and the Quakes bullpen combined for a shutout of the Inland Empire 66ers (Angels). The big hit was a bases-clearing three-run double by Mairoshendrick Martinus in the fifth inning. Thursday scores Albuquerque 9, Oklahoma City 8 Springfield 4, Tulsa 3 Wisconsin 9, Great Lakes 2 Rancho Cucamonga 5, Inland Empire 0 Friday schedule Wisconsin (Anthony Flores) at Great Lakes (Payton Martin), 4:05 PM PST Tulsa (Jared Karros) at Springfield (Pete Hansen), 5:05 PM PST Oklahoma City (Justin Jarvis) at Albuquerque (Anthony Molina), 5:35 PM PST Rancho Cucamonga (Sterling Patick) at Inland Empire (Chris Clark), 6:35 PM PST Advertisement More from

Boy, 10, was 'killed by a poisoned shrimp' after being left at home with babysitter
A 10-year-old boy died after eating shrimp that his mother says was poisoned with fentanyl. Nathaniel Castro Mendoza stopped breathing after eating the meal that was prepared for him by his uncle's then-girlfriend Christina Alvarez. Paramedics rushed to the southern California house and tried to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His mom Marcy Castro said it was not until weeks later she learned her little boy's shocking death was in fact caused by unknown exposure to fentanyl and xylazine. Alvarez, 32, was arrested in March after authorities determined she allegedly 'possessed and stored fentanyl in a manner that led to the victim's death', according to police reports. She was charged with felony child endangerment and an enhancement of willful harm resulting in death. Alvarez pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $100,000 bail. Now, the boy's mother is pleading for justice, telling Daily Mail the charges 'are not enough'. 'Nathaniel didn't go looking for drugs, he wasn't trying to get high. He was just an innocent boy in his home. He should have been safe,' the mom said. Court records show Alvarez has requested a mental disorder diversion program, which offers criminal offenders battling mental health conditions an alternative to incarceration. Nathaniel died on December 12 at his family home in Rancho Cucamonga, about 37 miles east of Los Angeles. Weeks later Marcy received a call from the coroner notifying her that his death was caused by fentanyl exposure. She said the home, where Alvarez is understood to have been living at the time of Nathaniel's death, was believed to be a 'drug-free' environment. 'We still don't know how Nathaniel came in contact with the drug, if he ingested it or if [Alvarez] touched something,' Marcy told the Daily Mail. 'Christina gave him shrimp that night for dinner so we think he might have ingested it.' Alvarez was arrested on March 14 following a criminal investigation by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. She appeared in court on Friday for a mental disorder diversion hearing which, according to booking records, was delayed until July 18. Marcy, who attended the hearing, said the family's understanding is that 'the mental health evaluation for Christina Alvarez was not completed'. Marcy launched the Nathaniel's Light campaign which seeks to create legislation that will make it a federal crime to harm or kill a minor through fentanyl possession. The grieving mother is outraged by the delay, which she says 'only adds to our heartache as a family still grieving the loss of our son'. '[Nathaniel] was just 10 years old - smart, funny, loving, and full of life,' she said. 'Our son paid the ultimate price for someone else's recklessness.' Marcy added that she will be 'showing up to every hearing because Nathaniel's voice was stolen, and we are now his voice'. 'We continue to fight for justice and accountability.' Marcy also launched the Nathaniel's Light campaign which seeks to create legislation that will make it a federal crime to harm or kill a minor through fentanyl possession. She is seeking legislative change that will 'hold people like Christina accountable' by 'closing the loopholes in the laws' surrounding lethal drugs. There is 'no clear federal charge for causing a child's death by fentanyl exposure', Marcy explained, noting that prosecutors must 'rely on light charges like child endangerment or involuntary manslaughter, even when a child dies'. 'Child endangerment charges are not enough. Mental disorder diversion should not be an excuse,' Marcy said of Alvarez's case. 'There is no justice for Nathaniel. He should have been safe in his home.' The Nathaniel's Light campaign also looks to ban the use of mental health diversion programs in cases where a child dies from exposure to lethal drugs and add sentencing enhancements for offenders.

China Taps $1.5 Trillion Fund to Boost Home Market Support
(Bloomberg) -- China is tapping an often overlooked pool of funds worth 10.9 trillion yuan ($1.5 trillion) to salvage its housing sector, offering people an alternative to bank mortgages. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The housing provident fund, a government savings program used to help people buy homes, has become an increasingly important means to obtain financing, as banks turn more cautious with profit challenges. The fund has outpaced banks in giving out loans, hitting 8.1 trillion yuan in outstanding mortgages last year. 'It's a frontrunner among policies used to support the housing market,' said Chen Wenjing, a research director at China Index Holdings Ltd. 'The housing market has seen lingering pressure, and many local governments have leveraged this policy to reduce the mortgage burden.' A Bloomberg gauge of Chinese developers shares rose as much as 3.2% on Tuesday, the most in more than a month, paring this year's decline to 16%. President Xi Jinping has pledged to help the country turn around the ailing property market and counter external shocks, a challenge that was brought back in focus this month after the US and China accused each other of violating a trade truce agreed in May. The provident fund system, which China adopted from Singapore three decades ago, requires employees and employers to contribute monthly into a pool that can then give out mortgages, often at a lower interest rate than banks. Its importance is growing at a time when banks, which have been enlisted to support the economy over the past few years, are battling record-low margins, slowing profit growth and rising bad debt. Still, some analysts are skeptical that measures to ease the financing needs of borrowers won't be enough to cement a housing recovery. The effort 'grants an alternative to bank mortgages but fails to address the shortage of demand that is the root cause of the sector's weakness,' Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Kristy Hung and Monica Si wrote in a note on Tuesday. Residential sales continued to fall in May. Distressed giant Country Garden Holdings Co.'s 28% slide in transactions last month underscored buyer concerns about the health of the firm and the broader sector. Past Challenges In the past, the provident fund was underutilized, partly because of many restrictions. When buying homes, China's middle class usually take out a combined mortgage — a bigger chunk from a bank with higher interest rates, and a smaller and cheaper loan from the provident fund. The amount of loans a person can tap from the provident fund is usually limited — it's determined by a variety of factors including how much they have deposited in the pool and their marital status. Most places also restricted people from making downpayments with the money. Since last year, many cities began easing rules. This year, at least 50 municipalities and cities relaxed the conditions on how people can use loans provided by the provident fund, including increasing the amount they can take out, according to China Index Holdings. Shenzhen, China's least affordable city, this week allowed residents to withdraw their deposits in the scheme to fund downpayments. The latest relaxation followed significant easing in March, which included nearly doubling the mortgage loan quota from the level in 2023. Usage of the fund has been growing. In the capital of Beijing, it financed 33% of residential mortgages last year, up from 29.4% in 2020. Cheaper Mortgages The central bank recently cut interest rates for mortgage loans given out by the housing provident fund, making it 0.9 percentage points cheaper than bank mortgages. While the rate cut reduces borrowing costs for a homebuyer by about 3%, the relief is 'rather marginal' and unlikely to cause a rally in home sales, said Liu Jieqi, a Hong Kong-based property analyst at UOB Kay Hian. 'It signals the government's efforts,' Liu said. 'But in the end, a broad property recovery hinges on effective implementation' of policies and a better economic outlook. The effort 'grants an alternative to bank mortgages but fails to address the shortage of demand that is the root cause of the sector's weakness,' Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Kristy Hung and Monica Si wrote in a Tuesday note. For now, the provident fund is helping to plug a gap as lenders cut back. Outstanding home loans by the fund grew 3.4% in 2024, while commercial bank loans dipped 1.3%. Unlike banks, the provident fund has ample ammunition for more aggressive lending. With contributions from almost 180 million employers and employees across the country, the fund had an outstanding 10.9 trillion yuan as of 2024, higher than the outstanding amount of its mortgage loans, according to official data. Computer science researcher Eli Zhang is a typical young buyer benefiting from the fund. The 30-year-old snapped up a 700 square foot (65 square meter) home in suburban Beijing in 2023. Since then, Zhang has been tapping the provident fund every month to partially cover her $550,000 mortgage. 'The housing provident loans are getting cheaper and cheaper,' said Zhang, who now pays interest of about 2.85% for mortgages from the provident fund. 'With its help, my mortgage is quite affordable.' (Added share prices in the fourth paragraph, more analyst comment in the eighth.)
