One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.


LA Lakers defeat Denver Nuggets 104-100. Unsurprisingly the Lakers took Game 2 of this series for a 2-0 series lead as they head for two in Denver.

LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 7-6. It's was a Coors Field Classic. The Dodgers take a 7-0 lead. The Rockies come back. But Javy Guerra made sure they would remain one run short giving up one hit in his eighth save of the season. The Dodgers are 1-0 in the Guggenheim era.

LA Angels defeat Minnesota Twins 4-0. The Angels found a team worse than them. Jerome Williams pitched a complete game three-hit shutout as Albert Pujols went 0-for-4 with an RBI dropping his batting average to .208. The Dodgers' Dee Gordon now has one more homer than Pujols.
