LOS ANGELES — Decision day might be coming again. Earlier this week, the Dodgers decided it was time for top prospect Dalton Rushing to get tested at the major-league level. That cost Austin Barnes, the longest tenured position player on the Dodgers’ roster at the time, his job and he was designated for assignment. In the next few days, the Dodgers expect to get Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez back from injuries. Edman could be back as early as Sunday. Hernandez started a brief minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday and could be activated as soon as…
LOS ANGELES — Nolan Schanuel insists on being as low maintenance as possible, although if there is one thing he insists on, it’s that pitches out over the plate go back in the direction where they came from. Schanuel’s up-the-middle hitting style was in full effect Friday when his two-run single to center field in the ninth inning gave the Angels some much-needed insurance in a series-opening victory over the Dodgers. For the Angels’ contact-hitter supreme, the scenario evolved just as he likes it. Matthew Lugo singled to lead off the ninth and when the lineup turned over, Zach Neto…
With one swing of the bat, Jordan Woolery gave the UCLA softball team all it needed. The Bruins’ star cracked a three-run home run in the top of the first inning and pitcher Kaitlyn Terry took it from there in a 10-0 victory over San Diego State in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional at Easton Stadium on the Westwood campus. With its second mercy-rule victory in as many games, UCLA (51-10) advances to the regional final Sunday, needing just one win in two games for the opportunity to move on to the NCAA Super Regional. After Jessica Clements doubled and…
Toss it all out the window. Every last bit. The Galaxy’s Major League Soccer record 13-match winless streak to start a season, including losing a game without conceding a shot. Three out of 39 possible points. A negative-21 goal differential. Last weekend’s 7-0 implosion at New York Red Bulls – a rematch of the Galaxy’s last league victory, the 2024 MLS Cup final on Dec. 7 – which equaled the largest margin of defeat in MLS history. Meaningless. Los Angeles Football Club unbeaten in half a dozen games. Six goals for Denis Bouanga over that stretch. A pair of shutouts…

LONDON — Crystal Palace pulled off one of the biggest FA Cup final upsets in history to beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and lift the famous trophy for the first time. Eberechi Eze’s strike secured Palace’s first major trophy and ensured the once dominant City ends a campaign empty-handed for the first time in eight years. “This is special,” Eze said. “Facing the team that’s been the best in the world for years, to show that type of spirit and energy …” As Cup final upsets go, this was up there with Wigan’s victory over City…
It’s rivalry week in Major League Soccer and the Galaxy are fighting against two opponents. The first is the Los Angeles Football Club. The annual heated El Trafico series kicks off Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Park. The teams will meet again July 19. The other is themselves. Nothing has gone right for the reigning MLS champions this season. The only win came in the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 against CS Herediano. In league play, the Galaxy are winless through the first 13 games. “Thirteen games, it’s tough,” midfielder Diego Fagundez said. “Right now we’re taking it a…
