LA Angels defeat Kansas City Royals 5-0. They added Albert Pujols to the lineup, got a healthy Kendrys Morales back, yet the Angels’ offense seemed awfully reminiscent of the anemic 2011 version.

Once Hawpe finally located the ball the charging Ethier had made it safely to first base. more ›

After losing their last six against the San Diego Padres, the last thing anyone expected was for the Dodgers to win.

Combined with the San Francisco Giants’ 13-0 win over the Chicago Cubs, the Padres now are a ½ game behind the Giants in the NL West. more ›

Texas Rangers defeat LA Angels 2-1. Losers of four of their last five games, the Rangers were desperate to get a win.

San Diego Padres defeat LA Dodgers 2-1. An Aaron Cunningham sacrifice fly in the second inning and an Adrian Gonzalez RBI double in the third marred Clayton Kershaw’s (L, 11-10) outing against the Padres. Padres’ starter Mat Latos (W, 14-5), a day after being scratched from a start against the Dodgers with flu-like symptoms, mowed through the Dodger lineup striking out 10 tying a career-high. Scott Podsednik finally sparked the offense in the sixth inning with a two-out double coming home on Rafael Furcal’s single. The Dodgers had a rally going in the eighth inning thanks to a leadoff double by pinch hitter Jamey Carroll off of reliever Mike Adams, but after Adams got pinch hitter Jay Gibbons to fly out closer Heath Bell (S, 39) came in and struck out Podsednik, walked Furcal and struck out James Loney to end the threat. By the way Kershaw had his second one-two-three first inning of the season, and the Dodgers fall under .500 for the first time since April 29. more ›
