LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers put two of their best relievers to work early Tuesday. Long before the first pitch was thrown against the Minnesota Twins, Brusdar Graterol was hurling triple-digit fastballs from the mound. Blake Treinen was pumping them over at 98 mph. The two right-handers certainly looked sharp in the eyes of the…

LOS ANGELES — It was a must-win game for the Sparks against the Connecticut Sun but they didn’t have an answer for All-Star center Jonquel Jones, who scored 18 of her game-high 21 points in the first half, as the Sparks lost, 97-71 on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. I’m breaking down #LASparks 97-71 loss…

Here are 10 observations from the first two weeks of Miami Dolphins training camp: 1. The linebackers were the most interesting unit of the first Dolphins’ depth chart. Melvin Ingram is listed as an outside starter over Andrew Van Ginkel. That’s not a big deal as both will play. The point here is they like…

NFL preseason games typically allow veterans to readjust to game speed, while rookies and unproven players use the opportunity to try and make a strong impression in front of coaches and fans. When the Ravens face the Tennessee Titans in their 2022 preseason opener Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium, there will be much more…

While clinics and hospitals seem to be at the epicenter of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, universities — including UC Irvine — have also stepped into the spotlight. And the White House is taking notice. UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman said the recent court decision has brought about “enormous challenges” for…

OAKLAND — Anytime your performance summons the names of Babe Ruth and Ichiro Suzuki on the same night, it’s a pretty good night. Shohei Ohtani reached a few significant milestones in the Angels’ 5-1 victory over the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night. Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings to pick up his 10th victory of the…

Passwords are a great way to secure your accounts and sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. But this security measure is not easy to handle as you have to remember different passwords for different accounts, come up with complicated combinations and even change these from time to time. Of course, you cannot just…

The Mets have reached an unfamiliar but very much earned part of the season. Every time they take the field, it feels like they’re going to win. Granted, their 6-2 win on Tuesday night was against the Cincinnati Reds, who are fighting to stay out of last place in the league’s worst division. But the…

There is nobody quite like Chris Bassitt. The best word to describe the Mets’ right-handed pitcher might be goofy. Aside from being another unshakable workhorse in the rotation, the other main thing Bassitt has brought to the Mets’ clubhouse is an air of self-assurance. Bassitt is extremely comfortable in his own skin, which leads to…

Franmil Reyes’ stature made him easy to spot among his new Chicago Cubs teammates on a breezy, cool evening at Wrigley Field. Reyes, listed at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, stepped to home plate for his first batting practice after the Cubs claimed him off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians. Known for his prodigious power, Reyes made…

A few hours after Roquan Smith released a statement saying he requested a trade from the Chicago Bears, he watched Tuesday’s Family Fest practice from the sideline at Soldier Field. General manager Ryan Poles took in the practice just 35 yards from his star linebacker. But the two apparently remain a greater distance apart when…

All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson will have surgery on his injured left middle finger and is expected to miss about six weeks, the Chicago White Sox announced Tuesday. The Sox placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list and reinstated reliever Reynaldo López from the 15-day IL between games of their doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals,…
