The Sports Report: Dodgers-Padres series reaches contentious conclusion

From Jack Harris: Seven times in the last 10 days, the Dodgers and San Diego Padres have renewed their steadily intensifying divisional rivalry. And in the last inning of the last one of those games Thursday night, the mounting tensions between the clubs — and their respective managers — finally ignited into a benches-clearing confrontation. At the end of the Padres' 5-3 win against the Dodgers, San Diego star Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a Dodgers pitcher for the third time over the two recent series between the National League West foes, and a career-high sixth time by the team in his six years in the majors. Moments later, Dave Roberts and Mike Shildt were face-to-face on the field, engaged in a shouting match that caused both benches to empty in a heated melee behind home plate. 'I felt that he was trying to make it personal with me,' Roberts said of Shildt. 'Which then, I take it personal.' Indeed, as soon as Tatis got plunked on the hand by a 93-mph fastball from debuting Dodgers rookie Jack Little, Shildt came storming out of the dugout, walking over to check on Tatis while barking in Roberts' direction. Whatever Shildt said, Roberts took exception. Suddenly, he was charging onto the field, bumping into Shildt as the two jawed back and forth and their two teams swarmed around them.

Dodgers box score MLB scores MLB standings Trent Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt hit consecutive homers in the second inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Angels 7-3 on Thursday to halt their six-game skid. Carlos Rodón (9-5) allowed a season-high three homers but held the Angels to four hits in six innings to bounce back from two rocky outings against the Red Sox. The left-hander struck out seven and walked one on an 89-degree afternoon. The AL East-leading Yankees stopped their longest losing streak since a nine-game slide in August 2023. New York also avoided its second four-game sweep at the current Yankee Stadium and first since September 2021 against Toronto.

The star receiver, with several colorful leis draping his shoulders, turned heads upon arrival at a Monday night luau. The next morning, flag football players excitedly buzzed 'It's Puka!' as he entered War Memorial Stadium for a Rams workout and clinic. That afternoon, autograph seekers lined up 100-deep for an exclusive afternoon Puka-centric event at a team pop-up store. On Wednesday, several thousands of fans showed up to see the Rams' public workout, dozens of them wearing Nacua jerseys. Nacua, who is of Hawaiian, Samoan and Portuguese descent, welcomed the attention with open arms. Continue reading here From Kevin Baxter: The FIFA Club World Cup is just six days old, but it has already provided a mixed bag of memorable experiences for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, whose trip to Southern California with Paris Saint-Germain marked his first visit to the U.S. 'I was in shock,' the veteran winger said. 'It's very beautiful here. I like it very much. One day we [went] bowling. And played mini golf. I was thinking when I finish football, to come to live.' Then there's the soccer, where not all the memories have been good ones. After contributing two assists to a win in PSG's tournament opener, Kvaratskhelia was unable to get any of his game-high five shots past goalkeeper John Victor in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Brazilian club Botafogo before an announced crowd of 53,699 at the Rose Bowl. The upset, the tournament's most shocking result so far, snapped PSG's win streak at six games in all competition, marked the first time it has been held scoreless since March 5 and leaves in doubt the team's spot in the second round. Botafogo (2-0) leads the four-team group with PSG and Atlético Madrid (both 1-1) tied for second with a game remaining. With just two teams moving on, PSG will need a victory over the Sounders on Monday in Seattle to advance.

And in Los Angeles, he's already a familiar name. Thirteen years after buying the Dodgers and transforming the team into a juggernaut in Major League Baseball, billionaire businessman Mark Walter is in line to become the new majority owner of the Lakers. Suddenly, the once anonymous Chicago-based investment manager is about to have both of the Southland's most prominent professional sports teams in his portfolio. For Lakers fans, Walter's arrival will mark a massive shift following decades of family ownership of the team by the Buss family. But, they won't have to look far to find examples of how Walter has operated another iconic Los Angeles sports brand. 'He's really committed to the city of Los Angeles in various ways,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday, after the stunning news of Walter's impending purchase of the Lakers first emerged. 'He's going to do everything he can to produce a championship-caliber team every single year, and make sure the city feels proud of the Lakers and the legacy that they've already built with the Buss family.' As Walter's ownership of the Lakers prepares to begin, here are four things to know about his stewardship of the Dodgers over the last decade-plus.
