Former Oakland Raiders player Aldon Smith surrendered to police Friday on charges he violated a domestic violence restraining order.
San Francisco police said the 28-year-old Smith turned himself and was booked on three misdemeanor charges of violating a court order to stay away from a
domestic violence victim.
Earlier this month
Patric
Hornqvist Jersey , Smith pleaded not guilty to domestic violence and other
charges and a judge issued a protective order prohibiting him from contacting
the victim.
Police said Smith violated the restraining order earlier this week.
Smith's attorney, Joshua Bentley, did not return a voicemail message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
The Raiders released the linebacker days after his arrest on the domestic violence charges.
He had been on the suspended list since late 2015 for violating the NFL's policy on substance abuse.
Nicked in the first inning, Aaron Nola figured he’d be fine if could find his form.
He did, and the Philadelphia Phillies took advantage.
Maikel Franco went 4 for 4, Carlos Santana homered and the Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Saturday.
”The way (we’ve) been swinging lately
Joel
Eriksson Ek Jersey , I just felt like if I kept putting up zeros and
battling out there they were going to come through and score some more runs,”
Nola said.
With the Phillies leading 3-2 in the eighth, Santana sent a drive into the Philadelphia bullpen in left-center field off Kelvin Herrera for his 13th homer
of the season and second in two games. Franco later added an RBI single.
Philadelphia’s Odubel Herrera, who had homered in five straight games, went 0 for 4.
The Phillies have won five of six while the Nationals have lost three of four, scoring a total of nine runs. Anthony Rendon homered for Washington.
”Look
Ryan Getzlaf Jersey , I’ve got all the confidence in the world we’re going to
start hitting,” manager Dave Martinez said. ”We’ll start scoring some runs.
Right now the bullpen is a little beat up. We’ve got to get them going
again.”
Nola (9-2) stiffened after giving up two runs in the first inning. He didn’t allow a hit after the second and left following the sixth. He also hit an RBI
single.
Seranthony Dominguez worked the ninth for his fourth save.
Erick Fedde (0-3) allowed three runs on eight hits in six-plus innings.
”They have a lot of patient hitters,” Fedde said. ”I think that’s what makes it tough. Guys aren’t swinging at bunch of junk, so you have to attack
them.”
With the score 2-all, Franco doubled leading off the seventh and moved to third on a groundout. Pinch-hitter Jesmuel Valentin lifted a fly to right,
Franco tagged and just beat Adam Eaton’s throw home with the safe call surviving
a replay challenge.
”That was just a tremendous all-around baseball game
Patrick
Marleau Jersey ,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said of Franco’s day.
Daniel Murphy’s two-run single in the first inning gave Washington the early lead, but the Phillies strung together four two-out singles – the last by Nola –
in the second to tie it.
BUNTER’S CHANCE
For the second consecutive game, Harper tried to beat the shift with a first-inning bunt. Friday night, he bunted foul before striking out and Saturday
he was thrown out by Nola.
