Padres’ rout of Dodgers is a real laugher
SAN DIEGO — Major League Baseball does not have a mercy rule for ending games early. On Tuesday night at Petco Park, the Dodgers could have used one.

UCLA softball facing WCWS elimination after loss to Texas Tech
OKLAHOMA CITY — UCLA had plenty of opportunities Saturday to avenge last season’s early departure from the Women’s College World Series.

Dodgers’ bullpen melts down as trip ends with loss to Guardians
CLEVELAND — The Dodgers got five good innings out of Clayton Kershaw on Wednesday. Then they let it go to waste in a five-run eighth inning.
