• Dustin May takes significant step toward return from Tommy John surgery LOS ANGELES ― Dodgers pitcher Dustin May did something Saturday he could have done anywhere. He could have been wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with no one watching, and still come one step closer to pitching in a real game. By design, May did it at Dodger Stadium, wearing his full uniform, with teammates and coaches and several members of the team’s front office looking on: He threw approximately 40 pitches over two simulated “innings” and emerged with his right…
• Dodgers hold Angels to three hits, take Freeway Series opener LOS ANGELES — The clouds trailing the Dodgers and Angels into this Freeway Series didn’t part for either team Tuesday night. The offensive woes that plagued the Dodgers in San Francisco followed them down the coast, parting only enough for them to squeeze out a 2-0 victory over the Angels at Dodger Stadium. For the Angels, their 14-game losing streak – and Joe Maddon’s tenure as manager – might be behind them. But they have lost five of the first…
• Clayton Kershaw returns but Dodgers lose second in a row to Giants SAN FRANCISCO – As the Dodgers awaited the results of an MRI on Walker Buehler’s injured elbow, they could take solace in the fact that Clayton Kershaw was ready to return from his back injury.

• Dodgers’ Will Smith has All-Star advocate in Dave Roberts LOS ANGELES ― Major League Baseball is branding this year’s All-Star Game as a return to Hollywood, where a certain Will Smith has been keeping a low profile ever since the Academy Awards. Dave Roberts is hopeful another Will Smith gets a chance to slap some American League pitchers around soon. Asked who he felt should represent the Dodgers in the annual exhibition game featuring the sport’s best players, Roberts named his catcher first. “I’m going to start with Will…
• SF Giants get bullpen masterclass to even season series with Dodgers SAN FRANCISCO — It doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to. It’s baseball. More than $100 million separated the starting lineups for Saturday’s nationally televised meeting at Oracle Park. One team had a two-time All-Star as its designated hitter; the other a recently acquired backup catcher. On the mound: a rookie starter logging the front end of a bullpen game versus a future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. Just like last season, when David prevailed over Goliath 10 of 19 times and…
• Dodgers’ Tyler Anderson comes up just short of no-hit bid in victory over Angels LOS ANGELES — This time, Tyler Anderson got the go-ahead from Dave Roberts. He couldn’t quite finish. Anderson was allowed to go well beyond his previous career-high pitch count in search of a no-hitter, but the Dodgers left-hander finally gave up a one-out triple to Shohei Ohtani in the ninth inning of the Dodgers’ 4-1 victory over the Angels on Wednesday night. The hit came on Anderson’s 123rd pitch – 14 more than his previous career high. It was his…
• Alexander: Dodgers and Angels need some urgency LOS ANGELES – OK, I get it. Go ahead and blame me. Yeah, I wrote it, it appeared in the May 15 editions of the Southern California News Group papers, and I meant every word of it at the time. “It is early – just about a fifth of MLB’s 162-game grind has been played – and yet the imagination dances, day-to-day results aside. The Dodgers and Angels are both near the top of their leagues, and is it too…

• Angels hit five home runs against Mets, Jared Walsh hits for cycle ANAHEIM ― The Angels are scheduled to play another 101 games in 2022, and only six in their creamy “City Connect” uniforms. They might want to re-think that. Debuting their new threads Saturday before an announced crowd of 36,408 at Angel Stadium, the Angels hit five home runs in an 11-6 walloping of the New York Mets. Jared Walsh hit for the cycle. Mike Trout returned to the lineup after a four-day injury absence and hit his 15th and 16th…
