As the Wildcats pitcher threw, Vaughns mimed his swing. It was an early-season Pac-12 game against Arizona and the 21-year-old junior - a two-sport athlete who also plays on the Bruins football team - got into his batting stance. Ryan Mountcastle entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning and doubled, then he hit a two-run homer in the sixth to help the Orioles beat the Angels 7-3.įrom Sarah Valenzuela: JonJon Vaughns stood behind his UCLA baseball teammates, who were perched along the dugout fence, watching those ahead of him in the batting order. ‘It’s hard to hit.’ How Dodgers rookie James Outman is dealing with an inevitable slumpĭodger Stadium food guide: Twelve new items to tantalize your taste budsĪ gondola to Dodger Stadium? ‘Repulsive,’ ‘something doesn’t add up,’ readers say ANGELS Walker Buehler aims to be back by September.
Kershaw fell short on both counts in a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins before a sellout crowd of 52,159, grinding through a wobbly four-inning, two-run, seven-hit, 90-pitch start in which he failed to provide much relief for a bullpen that had to cover eight innings in Monday night’s 12-inning victory. “Obviously, he’s never been in this situation before, but I expect it to go well and for him to do what he’s supposed to do.” “I think once you get out there and you get into compete mode, that’s just what you know,” manager Dave Roberts said before the game. *Tuesday, May 30 at Carolina, 5 p.m., TNTįrom Mike DiGiovanna: A month after notching his 200th career victory on an exhilarating April night in Chavez Ravine, Clayton Kershaw took the mound on his home field under a different set of emotional circumstances on Tuesday night - it was just three days after the death of his mother, Marianne Tombaugh. *Monday, May 29 at Boston, 5:30 p.m., TNT *Saturday, May 27 at Miami, 5:30 p.m., TNT *Thursday, May 25 at Boston, 5:30 p.m., TNT *Sunday, May 28 at Denver, 5:30 p.m., ESPN *Friday, May 26 at Lakers, 5:30 p.m., ESPN Your support helps us deliver the news that matters most.

Anthony Davis scored 40, James had 26 and Austin Reaves added 23, but it wasn’t quite enough to bring the Lakers back from the double-digit deficit they faced for most of the night. Jokic finished with 34 points, 21 rebounds and 14 assists, his sixth triple-double of the postseason. “Some of them was effort,” LeBron James said of the plays that swung the momentum.
