In series losses to the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals at the start of a nine-game homestand, the Dodgers’ struggles had followed a few recurring themes. Their starting pitching wasn’t great. Their bullpen repeatedly stubbed its toe. And their top-heavy lineup teetered with everyone from Chris Taylor to Freddie Freeman scuffling to start the season. If all that wasn’t enough, the Dodgers added another problem to the mix Friday night. In a 9-4 loss to the New York Mets to open a...
The Dodgers committed more costly errors on defense in a 9-4 loss to the New York Mets that puts them in danger of dropping a third consecutive series.
The storm system that moved through the region late Monday into Tuesday morning led to a soaking rain across North Alabama.
Chris Taylor breaks out of his slump with a two-run, game-tying single in the sixth inning, but the Mets score five times in the final three innings to hand the Dodgers their sixth loss in the past eight games, 9-4.
Their top two relievers had pitched the two previous nights, so the Dodgers had little choice but to turn to J.P. Feyereisen, a 31-year-old journeyman trying to work his way back from shoulder surgery, in the seventh inning with the score tied against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. A walk, a single, a walk, and a Jurickson Profar three-run double later, the Padres were on their way to a 6-3 victory.

In a game that became testy in the fourth quarter, the health of Kawhi Leonard was paramount for the Clippers. Leonard was listed as questionable with right knee inflammation for Game 3, and though he started Friday night, he rarely looked sharp during the Clippers’ 101-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center. Leonard, who was in and out of the game, departed for the final time with 4:09 left and the Clippers down by 15 points. He played 25 minutes and produced nine points,...
