MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Genevieve strengthened into a hurricane Saturday in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Mexico. It was forecast to pick up even more steam and become a major hurricane in the coming days but stay well out to sea on a course roughly parallel to the shore.
Genevieve had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph), making it a Category 1 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. A major hurricane is Category 3 or higher.
Genevieve's center was located about 500 miles (810 kilometers) south-southwest of Manzanillo, and it was headed west-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
No coastal watches or warnings were in effect, but the hurricane center said swells from the storm — likely causing “life-threatening surf and rip current conditions” — were affecting parts of Mexico's southwestern coast on the weekend and would likely hit southern parts of the Baja California Peninsula on Sunday night or Monday.
Farther west in the Pacific, meanwhile, Hurricane Fausto remained a Category 2 storm as it continued on a projected path in the general direction of the Hawaiian Islands.
Forecasters said it was expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm in the coming days, but warned that it could still generate dangerous surf and said “Interests in the Hawaiian Islands should monitor” its progress.
Fausto had maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 kph); was located about 1,060 miles (1,705 kilometers) east of Hilo; and was moving west at 13 mph (20 kph).

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Rookies Cooper Pratt and Luis Lara drove in three runs apiece and Robert Gasser worked six solid innings as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old Pratt, the starting shortstop since being called up from Triple-A Nashville in mid-June, had a solo homer, two singles and a sacrifice fly.
Lara, also 21, was called up from Nashville on July 7. He doubled in two runs, singled, added a sacrifice fly and walked.
Pratt was signed to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract in April, while outfielder Lara signed a $31 million, seven-year deal in June.
Gasser (3-4) allowed two runs on five hits in six innings, striking out four without a walk.
Lara’s bases-loaded double keyed a four-run sixth that put Milwaukee up 7-2. William Contreras and Jake Bauers opened with consecutive singles, chasing Ryan Feltner (3-5). Juan Mejia relieved and walked Garrett Mitchell, loading the bases. Lara followed with a bloop two-run double to shallow left to make it 5-2.
Pratt followed with a sacrifice fly. Lara scored from third on an errant pickoff throw by catcher Braxton Fulford.
Christian Yelich’s sacrifice fly in the eighth made it 8-2.
Colorado scored three runs in the ninth with the aid of an error, but Trevor Megill struck out Cole Carrigg with runners on first and second for his 17th save in 19 chances.
The Rockies erased a 2-0 deficit on Hunter Goodman’s two-run single in the fourth.
The Brewers answered with one in the bottom half on a single by Bauers and consecutive two-out singles by Lara and Pratt.
Milwaukee scored two runs in the second to go in front 2-0. Bauers singled to open, stole second, advanced on a ground out and scored on Lara’s sacrifice fly. Pratt followed with his second homer, sending the first pitch 409 feet to left-center.
Brewers RHP Jacob Misiorowski (10-4, 1.57 ERA) faces Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (2-9, 7.28) on Sunday.
