CHICAGO (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers spoiled Jon Lester's return to the Cubs' rotation by scoring on an error and a sacrifice fly, beating Chicago 2-1 on Thursday to avoid a three-game...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's fitting that Russell Martin is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He's pining for a World Series title, too.
The Dodgers reacquired Martin in a trade with Toronto on Friday, receiving the veteran catcher in exchange for a couple minor leaguers. Los Angeles has won two straight National League pennants but lost each time in the World Series. Martin has never even played in a World Series in 13 seasons with the Dodgers, Yankees, Pirates and Blue Jays.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers relievers Pedro Baez and Ross Stripling are on Los Angeles' roster for the NL Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Slumping outfielder Joc Pederson and utilityman Tim Locastro didn't make the squad announced by manager Dave Roberts on Friday before Game 1 in Los Angeles.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Dodgers rallied once, twice and then a third time. Manager Dave Roberts thought his club would snap out of its long losing streak at last.
The National League-leading Dodgers lost their 11th straight game for the longest skid since the club moved to Los Angeles, finishing their 8-6 defeat to the San Francisco Giants at 2:10 a.m. local time Tuesday morning after a pair of rain and lightning delays late Monday.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Over the past couple of weeks, the Arizona Diamondbacks are playing as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers did for so long this season.
Brandon Drury hit a grounder to third base that scored the go-ahead runs when Justin Turner's throw home got away, and the Diamondbacks won 3-1 on Tuesday night to match a franchise record with their 12th consecutive victory.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — J.D. Martinez hit four home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, tying the major league record in a startling power show at Dodger Stadium.
And get this: He struck out his first time up, then connected four times in a row, including shots in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — J.D. Martinez hit four home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, equaling the major league record in a startling power show at Dodger Stadium.
And get this: He struck out his first time up, then connected four times in a row, including shots in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.
ATLANTA (AP) — Pinch-hitter Tyler Flowers connected for a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning as the Atlanta Braves stopped the Dodgers' nine-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory on Wednesday night.
Flowers' shot off Pedro Baez (3-2) helped Atlanta stop the Dodgers' major league-record streak of 53 straight wins when leading at any point of a game. The Dodgers were ahead 1-0 and 3-2.
CHICAGO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings for his major league-leading 15th victory as the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Chicago White Sox 1-0 Tuesday night for their 10th straight win.
Kershaw (15-2) made his first start since the All-Star break, scattering seven hits and a walk to post his 11th win in a row.
The Dodgers, with the best record in baseball at 65-29, have won 30 of 34. This is the second 10-game winning streak of the season for the NL West leaders.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ben Revere reached base on an error, advanced on a wild pitch and then scored the winning run on a passed ball and a throwing error caused by Cameron Maybin's walk-off strikeout.
Yeah, Revere could scarcely believe it either.
"That's the game of baseball, I guess?" the Los Angeles Angels outfielder said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw made it sound as if he had a rough day. It looked pretty good to everyone else.
Kershaw outdueled Stephen Strasburg with seven effective innings and Yasmani Grandal hit a tiebreaking RBI double, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers edge the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Wednesday.
Kershaw (8-2) allowed three hits and struck out nine in his first win since May 17. Pedro Baez got two outs before Kenley Jansen finished for his 10th save.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Michael Morse showed he has some power left in his 35-year-old swing, something he'd been telling Giants general manager Bobby Evans ever since signing a minor league contract last offseason.
The veteran bopper still has a flair for the dramatic, too.
Morse delivered a tying, pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning, Hunter Pence hit a game-winning sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the 10th and the Giants rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Wednesday night.
DENVER (AP) — Kenta Maeda has heard plenty about Coors Field: How the balls keep flying and pitchers don't last too long.
He just doesn't let it bother him.
Maeda allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings, rookie Corey Seager tied a Dodgers record for shortstops with his 19th home run and Los Angeles beat the Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Thursday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Maeda (10-7) gave up four hits and struck out five for the Dodgers, who lead the NL...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Yasmani Grandal and Corey Seager each hit three-run home runs, Joc Pederson added a two-run shot, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-3 on Sunday.
Grandal, who went 3 for 5 with and scored three times, hit his 15th home run of the season off reliever Dominic Leone in the sixth inning.
Seager, who also had three hits, added his 18th off Steve Hathaway in the seventh, and Pederson got his 16th off Evan Marshall in the...
