Dodgers reviewing stadium safety after hunk of concrete falls on fan
Yankees supporters are accustomed to Dodger Stadium being hostile ground, but being hit by a chunk of concrete falling from the stadium ceiling is beyond what fans steel themselves to encounter. That is indeed what one Yankees fan says happened to him at Friday’s Dodgers-Yankees game. Ricardo Aquino of Mexico City told the Athletic via…
Was Chris Sale really ‘fastest’ to reach strikeout milestone?
When is the “fastest” something of a slow roll? How about last week when pitcher Chris Sale was crowned the fastest to reach 2,500 career strikeouts? Not to diminish Sale’s accomplishment: It took him fewer innings (2,026) to record No. 2,500 than any other pitcher in history. But because of injuries and a reduced workload…
Missed chance to sweep Yankees leaves Dodgers in precarious spot
The desperation of a toasted Dodger Stadium made itself abundantly clear Sunday in the fourth inning of a sunburn against the New Yankees.

Dodgers finish with 18 runs and 21 hits in blowout win over Yankees
It was a statement, a reminder and a warning all wrapped into one. The Dodgers might not have been playing their best baseball entering this weekend’s World Series rematch against the New York Yankees. But in a ceaseless offensive onslaught in the opening two innings on Saturday, things seemed to suddenly, profoundly and perhaps permanently…
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani inspires awe and confidence
They don’t know what their rotation will look like in October, and they don’t know how worn down their bullpen will look like. What the Dodgers know is this: They have Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani will give them a chance in October regardless of what their roster looks like, just as he did on Friday night…
Shohei Ohtani homers twice in Dodgers’ comeback win over Yankees
It wasn’t quite as significant as the fifth inning of Game 5 last year. But, in the opening contest of a World Series rematch at Chavez Ravine on Friday night, the Dodgers mounted another stunning late-game rally against the New York Yankees. And this time, they didn’t even need an assist from the Yankees’ porous…
