Dodgers will give away Kobe Bryant bobbleheads in a few weeks
The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost seven games in a row, but they're still in first place in the National League West, and they still should have a real shot at repeating as World Series champions. In a few weeks, they will honor the memory of the "Black Mamba" with a special offering at Dodger Stadium.
On Aug. 8, when they host the Toronto Blue Jays, they will be giving away bobbleheads with Bryant's likeness. The design of those bobbleheads has been unveiled.
The Blue Jays are currently on top of the American League East with a 55-39 record and have won 11 of their last 12 games. That Aug. 8 contest will kick off a three-game series between Toronto and the Dodgers, and it will give fans the opportunity to watch five-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. take on the boys in blue.

American League-leading Blue Jays go deep 5 times in a 10-4 win over Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Daulton Varsho hit a pair of two-run homers and a two-run double, and the American League-leading Toronto Blue Jays went deep five times in a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Varsho homered after Alejandro Kirk's two-out single off Anthony Molina in the fourth to give Toronto (67-48) a 3-2 lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (three hits) and Addison Barger both homered for the 17th time — hitting back-to-back shots leading off the sixth. Kirk walked and scored on Varsho's 11th homer to cap the four-run inning. Varsho's double came in a three-run ninth to complete the scoring. Nathan Lukes had two hits and hit his 10th homer — a two-out shot in the third for Toronto's first run. Bo Bichette contributed two hits, a day after hitting two homers and driving in six runs in a 15-1 victory. José Berríos (8-4) allowed four runs, three earned, in 5 1/3 innings. Tommy Nance pitched a scoreless ninth to end it. Hunter Goodman hit his 22nd homer, a two-run shot in the first for Colorado. Mickey Moniak and Warming Bernabel chased Berríos with consecutive RBI singles, pulling the Rockies within 7-4. Molina (0-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits in five innings in his second career start. Jaden Hill allowed three runs on four hits in the ninth. Toronto has 39 hits in the first two games after collecting 25 in the opener — one off the club record for a two-games stretch. Key moment Yariel Rodríguez replaced Berríos with one out and runners at the corners and retired Thairo Estrada on an inning-ending double play to keep it 7-4. Estrada left after appearing to injure his leg. Key stat Varsho's second homer — a 467-foot shot to the upper deck in right — was the longest of his career and the longest by a Blue Jay this season. ___
