Dodgers lose fourth in a row<\/p>\n
From Maddie Lee<\/a>: The Dodgers<\/a> came away from the trade deadline with major wins<\/a> \u2014 a two-time Cy Young Award winner in Tarik Skubal<\/a>, necessary catching depth with Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia<\/a>, and a 2025 All-Star in pitcher Kris Bubic<\/a>.<\/p>\n All of that momentum, and the staggering amount of talent on the roster, have overshadowed the Dodgers\u2019 recent poor play. A clean slate against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field was a chance to set a new tone after being swept by the Boston Red Sox at home. Instead, they lost 10-5<\/a>, extending their losing streak to a season-high tying four games.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a playoff-contending team,\u201d manager Dave Roberts<\/a> said of the Cubs before the game. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to play well. Like I said [Sunday], we got outplayed. Outcompeted against. So we need to play better. We\u2019re going to play better this series. I don\u2019t know the results, but we will play with more urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n The Dodgers (69-44) essentially played out that prophecy to begin the game. Against left-hander Matthew Boyd, Shohei Ohtani<\/a> and Andy Pages<\/a> hit back-to-back singles, and Tommy Edman roped a three-run homer to left.<\/p>\n Then Boyd settled in. He got out of the inning with three straight flyouts \u2014 Cubs fans enthusiastically booing Kyle Tucker, who was never expected to re-sign with the team when he hit free agency after one season in Chicago, when he flied out to right field.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n \u2018Dodgers do all the right things.\u2019 Tarik Skubal dismisses the \u2018ruining baseball\u2019 critics<\/a> <\/p>\n Dodgers box score<\/a> <\/p>\n MLB standings<\/a> <\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.

The following year, the teams will play in Week 1 at Notre Dame Stadium and the two games after that will be played somewhere between Week 1-3 of the 2032 and 2033 seasons.<\/p>\n USC ended up getting exactly what it asked of Notre Dame<\/a> more than a year ago, when the two sides first sat down to talk about renewing their rivalry series. USC\u2019s leadership sought to shift the game to the beginning of the season, first offering to play during Week 0 of the 2027 season. But Notre Dame rejected multiple scheduling offers.<\/p>\n That changed in recent weeks, as Notre Dame opted to cancel a home-and-home series with Indiana in 2030 and 2031 to accommodate their longtime rival.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Angels made good trade deadline moves<\/p>\n From Bill Shaikin<\/a>: No date will ever top Oct. 27, 2002, the date the Angels won their lone World Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n We could talk about Sept. 30, 1984, the date Mike Witt threw the Angels<\/a>\u2019 lone perfect game. Or June 9, 2009, the date the Angels drafted the best player in franchise history, Mike Trout<\/a>. Or July 29, 2018, the date Vladimir Guerrero became the first player to wear an Angels cap on a Hall of Fame plaque.<\/p>\n Or, if you care to look at it from a cynical angle, that fateful fall day in 1979 when then-general manager Buzzie Bavasi<\/a> said he could replace Nolan Ryan<\/a>, who had just gone 16-14 in his final year in Anaheim, with \u201ctwo 8-7 pitchers.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t about trivia. This is to say that Monday might well be remembered as one of those significant dates in Angels history.<\/p>\n In recent years, the Angels have deluded themselves and their fans with such beliefs as: they had assembled a young core that could win; Shohei Ohtani really wanted to stay; and the universally and consistently poor rankings of their minor-league system should be dismissed.<\/p>\n On Monday, John Mozeliak<\/a> changed all that. The Angels\u2019 interim general manager traded seven players off the major-league roster ahead of the trade deadline, including five within the final nine hours. Mozeliak imported nine prospects, only one of which will report to the major-league team.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n World Cup was good practice for the 2028 Olympics<\/p>\n From Thuc Nhi Nguyen<\/a>: Like most good stories, this one requires planning. Organizers with the L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission<\/a> spent nearly nine years preparing to bring the FIFA World Cup<\/a> to L.A. The most popular sporting event in the world was just the start of a mega-event trilogy that turns the page to Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium<\/a> and will culminate with the largest Olympics ever<\/a> in 2028.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are on the international stage for three years,\u201d said Kathryn Schloessman, president and chief executive officer of <\/a>L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission<\/a>, or LASEC, said. \u201cWhat story are we telling and how are we doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n The World Cup was a riveting first chapter<\/a>. The 39-day tournament brought more than 560,000 fans to SoFi Stadium for eight matches, 250,000 fans to 10 official fan zones and a projected $892 million in economic impact across L.A. County, according to LASEC.<\/p>\n The expanded World Cup, with 48 teams and 104 matches over 16 venues in three countries, is only a logistical qualifying match compared to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The first Olympics in L.A. in 44 years will welcome 11,198 athletes across 51 sports from more than 200 countries competing over 20 days. The 2028 Paralympics will come to L.A. for the first time with a 23-para sport schedule that will begin competition before the opening ceremony for the first time.<\/p>\n Despite the difference in scale, John Harper, chief operating officer of LA28, called the successful World Cup\u2019s local matches \u201can immense learning opportunity for us in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here <\/a> <\/p>\n MLS has a new commissioner<\/p>\n From Kevin Baxter<\/a>: Larry Berg, the co-managing owner of LAFC, was chosen Monday to become the third commissioner in MLS history when Don Garber retires in December.<\/p>\n Berg has been with LAFC since the club\u2019s founding, helping build the team into the league\u2019s most successful franchise since entering MLS in 2018. He has held ownership stakes in Italy\u2019s AS Roma and Welsh club Swansea City and has served MLS as co-chair of the league\u2019s sporting and competition committee.<\/p>\n Berg, 60, also spent more than three decades in private equity, serving as a senior partner at Apollo Global Management before retiring in 2022.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m honored to lead Major League Soccer into its next era,\u201d Berg, a lifelong soccer fan and player, said in a statement released by the league. \u201cThanks to the vision and commitment of so many people, Major League Soccer has achieved tremendous success, but I believe our greatest opportunities are still ahead.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Mauricio Pochettino stays as U.S. coach, agrees to 4-year extension through 2030 World Cup<\/a><\/p>\n This day in sports history<\/p>\n 1936 \u2014 American athlete Jesse Owens wins his 2nd gold medal at the Berlin Olympics; beats German Luz Long in the long jump final with an Olympic record.<\/p>\n 1945 \u2014 Byron Nelson wins his 11th consecutive PGA Tour event, beating Herman Barron by four strokes.
