Jacob deGrom threw a baseball on Sunday. In fact, he threw many of them. Notoriously private, obsessively weary of the media, deGrom’s bullpen session happened long before anybody else showed up at Citi Field.

Overwhelmingly passed by voters in 1978, Proposition 13 froze property tax rates (1% plus bonds) and limited the growth of taxable values to 2% a year as…

CARSON — The Galaxy survived a wild 90 minutes Sunday and came away with a much-needed win. Kevin Cabral scored in the seventh minute and Dejan Joveljic capped the night in the late stages of extra time to lift the Galaxy (9-9-3, 30 points) to a 2-0 win over Atlanta United FC at Dignity Health…

With a base open and two outs, perhaps avoiding the situation entirely would’ve been the best result. New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had done his share of damage to that point this series. Entering Sunday, Judge had eight homers in his previous 11 games against Baltimore, including two during Friday’s series opener. But Orioles…

ATLANTA — There have not been many games in this forgettable Angels season like this one. The Angels scored five runs in the first inning and cruised to a 9-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon. “It felt great,” said Taylor Ward, who started the scoring with a homer. “Hopefully we can keep…

The Chicago White Sox on Saturday announced the signing of 2022 first-round pick Noah Schultz to a minor-league contract with a $2.8 million signing bonus. They selected the left-handed pitcher from Oswego East High School with the No. 26 pick in the MLB draft Sunday. The 6-foot-9 Schultz, 18, entered the draft ranked by Perfect…

AJ Pollock hit a long fly down the left-field line. For a moment, it looked as if the Chicago White Sox were going to take the lead in the eighth inning of Game 1 of a split doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. But the ball kept hooking and landed foul. Just the way things have…
