Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw takes issue with Cardinals' pregame antics before start
Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw hurled a gem against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday as the team picked up a 7-3 victory. The veteran pitcher went five innings, allowing one run on six hits and striking out seven. He only threw 82 pitches and picked up the first winning decision of the year. Kershaw expressed after the game he was a bit upset with the Cardinals going into the matchup. The Cardinals played Matt Adams' clutch home run off Kershaw in the 2014 National League Division Series on a loop before the game began at Busch Stadium. It wasn't Kershaw's finest moment for the Dodgers but the team playing the moment from more than 10 years ago appeared to irk the pitcher. "I think it's a little bush league, but I don't expect anything less from these guys. So, it's no worries," he told Kershaw was the National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner during the 2014 season. More than 10 years later, he's still going strong for the Dodgers though the expectations are a bit different. He's started five games this season for the Dodgers and has a 4.35 ERA with 15 strikeouts. He was last an All-Star in 2023. He missed most of the 2024 season with various injuries. Los Angeles improved to 39-27 with the win over St. Louis. The defending World Series champions a game ahead of the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants in the National League West division.

What's going on with falling WSL attendances?
Arsenal's attendances were slightly down but they still played five games in front of more than 35,000 fans [Getty Images] Average attendances in the Women's Super League dropped by 10% last season compared with the previous campaign. According to Deloitte's Sports Business Group, which highlighted the drop in a report released on Monday, "this has been put down to a lack of international football drawing attention to the domestic game". Advertisement BBC research found the 12 WSL clubs in total averaged 7,366 in 2023-24, compared with 6,662 in 2024-25 - an average decrease of 704. So which clubs have been affected the most, which clubs are bucking the trend and what else might be behind the numbers? BBC Sport takes a closer look. Why has there been a drop? One of the main reasons behind the fall in attendances last season was the relegation of Bristol City in 2023-24. Despite losing all their homes games as they made an immediate return to the Championship, they were backed by an impressive home support at Ashton Gate, which they shared with the men's team. Advertisement They had the fifth-highest average home attendance in the WSL - 6,974 - behind the big four of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. A crowd of 8,749 watched their relegation-confirming loss to Manchester City, while a bumper 14,138 attendance saw a 2-0 defeat by Manchester United in November. Bristol City were replaced in 2024-25 by top-flight newcomers Crystal Palace, who averaged 1,779 across the season - 5,195 fewer than the club they replaced. Palace played the majority of their games at the VBS Community Stadium, which they shared with men's National League club Sutton United. Advertisement They played two matches at Selhurst Park, home of the men's team, and had a season-high attendance of 5,003 for their opening home game with Chelsea, which they lost 7-0. Their lowest figure of the campaign was 502 for the 1-1 draw with Everton in November. Which clubs' attendances decreased? Of the 11 remaining WSL clubs, five had their average attendance drop between 2023-24 and 2024-25 - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United, which includes three of the top four. Aston Villa and Manchester United had by far the biggest drop-offs, with both clubs' attendances falling by 33%. Advertisement For Villa, the move to playing all their WSL games at Villa Park - compared with only five the season before - does not look to have paid off, though they also spent the majority of the recent campaign in a relegation battle. Manchester United played the same number of WSL games at Old Trafford in both seasons - two - and in 2023-24 those games attracted attendances of 43,615 and 28,737. In 2024-25 it was 8,761 and 31,465, with the former in their opening game against West Ham. However, they also had a fall in attendances at their main stadium, Leigh Sports Village, with an average of 4,562 last season compared with 5,353 the season before. Manchester City had the next biggest decrease of 8% - despite going from one to three matches at their bigger Etihad Stadium - followed by Everton at 5.5% and Arsenal at 4%. Advertisement Arsenal, considered a success story in the league for the way they have managed to attract record numbers to Emirates Stadium, played nine of their 11 home games there last season compared with six the previous one. Yet while they did not hit the heights of the previous campaign when they broke the WSL attendance record and had two sell-outs at the Emirates, the figures were still impressive, with five matches attracting more than 35,000. All but one of their matches surpassed 20,000 - that was the 5,539 who turned out for their midweek match with Leicester in April, which was rescheduled for an evening kick-off at short notice because of their Champions League involvement. Which clubs' attendances increased? Liverpool showed remarkable growth from the previous season, with their attendance increasing by 54%, boosted by holding three games at Anfield compared with one the previous year. Advertisement Building on their impressive fourth-place WSL finish in 2023-24, their average gate grew from 4,550 to 7,023 last season, with a season-high 17,484 turning out for their match with Manchester City in October. The only other club to hit double figures for percentage growth were Tottenham, who despite finishing second from bottom last season, had their average attendance increase by 24% - from 4,317 to 5,332. They took their tally of matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from two to three. The other clubs to see growth were Leicester (6%), who played all their games at King Power Stadium which they share with the men's team, Brighton (3%), West Ham (1%) and WSL winners Chelsea (1%). Do Lionesses affect WSL crowds? All WSL clubs experienced a significant attendance boost in 2022-23 off the back of Euro 2022, where England lifted their first major women's trophy in front of record crowds. Advertisement The majority of clubs also had increases in 2023-24, which followed England's run to the Women's World Cup final in Australia. But, after Great Britain failed to qualify for the 2024 Olympics, last season was the first time in three years that the WSL campaign did not benefit from following an international tournament where there had been home success. Yet it is also important to look at the competitiveness of the league. Chelsea were odds-on title favourites in 2024-25 from an early stage - after it went down to the wire in 2023-24 - which might have affected the appetite of fans from other top-four clubs, who all faced their own struggles during the campaign. Speaking about attendances on Radio 5 Live's Women's Football Weekly podcast last month, WSL Football chief executive Nikki Doucet said: "I think a lot of times it depends on kick-off times. A lot of times it depends on are we in a men's international break and how are we maximising those moments or not? Advertisement "It depends which clubs are really building that community, and some are on a further journey than others. "Each club, and their fanbase, is sort of unique and I think everyone's testing different things and seeing what works, what doesn't." Head here to get involved

Brewers Have Withstood Brutal Start, Pitching Depth Has Them In NL Mix
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chad Patrick delivers during a baseball game against the ... More Philadelphia Phillies, Saturday, May 31, 2025, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Chris Szagola) The Milwaukee Brewers' regular season couldn't have gotten off to a worse start. They got clubbed in a four-game set at Yankee Stadium getting outscored 47-15 in the process. I wrote about it here - it was even more terrible than the numbers suggest. The club, who was already missing the likes of Brandon Woodruff, DL Hall and Robert Gasser to injury, and had lost depth pieces like Frankie Montas, Colin Rea, Joe Ross and Bryse Wilson since just last season, saw its makeshift Opening Day rotation torn asunder by the Bronx Bombers. Even worse, newcomer Nestor Cortes lasted only two starts before joining the walking wounded. Well, what if I told you in advance that Gasser, Hall and Woodruff would combine for all of 8 1/3 innings through Sunday's game. Could you have possibly imagined that the Brew Crew would be sitting four games over .500 and in the thick of the NL playoff race? But the situation is even better than that. They just might have three largely untapped starting pitchers at the ready. Logan Henderson was brilliant in his first four major league starts, going 3-0, 1.71, with a 29/6 K/BB over 21 innings. Jacob Misiorowski is carving up Triple-A hitters while hitting triple digits with his fastball. And Woodruff……well his story deserves a little detail. He suffered a severe shoulder injury late in 2023, and missed the entire 2024 season. He has now twice been on the verge of rejoining the MLB rotation before fate intervened, first in the form of ankle tendinitis and most recently by a line drive to his pitching elbow last Tuesday. He'll need yet another rehab assignment once the swelling goes down - the club hopes it will be a short one. Without those guys, somehow, someway, the Brewers have posted the 2nd best ERA among NL rotations through Saturday, at 3.41. Now, it hasn't exactly been all sunshine and rainbows, as their starters have averaged less than five innings per start, and their 8.2 K/9 IP sits exactly at the NL average. Righty staff ace Freddy Peralta was the single known quantity in the Brewer rotation entering the season, and he hasn't disappointed. Jose Quintana was a late free agent sign, and after a late entry into the rotation, has been more than reliable. Aaron Civale and Tobias Myers have both missed time with injuries, but have at least shown signs of being stabilizing forces. They spent significant prospect capital to bring aboard Quinn Priester aboard from the Red Sox, a gutsy call that appears to have been vindicated. But perhaps the best starter of them all has been previously unheralded 26-year-old righty Chad Patrick. Patrick was the Diamondbacks' 4th round draft pick in 2021 out of Purdue. His minor league performance wasn't particularly notable. Each season I prepare a list of top minor league starting pitching prospects based on statistical performance and age relative to league and level. Patrick never made my list. In 2023, he was traded twice - first by the D'backs to the Athletics for Jace Peterson and then by the A's to the Brewers for Abraham Toro. Just a guy, pretty much, but at least a guy that clubs were interested in acquiring for complementary major leaguers. Patrick lacks a functional breaking ball. It's almost all four-seamers, sinkers and especially cutters. But the Brewers have proven successful at building perfectly acceptable big league starters out of ordinary raw materials. See Rea, Colin, 2024. And quite honestly, while Patrick's success has clearly been a pleasant surprise from the Brewers' perspective, the underlying data doesn't suggest that he's been particularly lucky. Patrick's K and BB rates are pretty squarely in the league average range, with the latter a bit better than average. This means that the distance between him and a league average pitcher is pretty much dependent on his contact management performance, and despite pretty pedestrian raw stuff, he's done very well on that front. Overall, Patrick's average exit speed allowed of 88.9 degrees isn't eyecatching, sitting in the league average range. While he's allowed his liners and grounders to be hit harder than average, his average fly ball exit speed allowed of 88.7 mph is over a full standard deviation lower than league average. And that's a good thing, because he allows a lot of fly balls. But with that 39.9% fly ball rate (over a standard deviation higher than league average) comes a whopping 7.1% pop up rate (over two higher). His 20.9 degree average launch angle allowed is higher than that of any 2024 ERA-title qualifier. Now perhaps there is a little bit of good fortune baked into his 58 Adjusted Fly Ball Contact Score (100 equals league average, the lower the better), but that could very well be offset by expected downward regression in his outrageously high 26.3% liner rate (over two standard deviations higher than league average). Put it all together, and Patrick has posted a 94 Adjusted Contact Score to date, with his 86 'Tru' ERA- (my batted ball-based proxy for ERA- and FIP-) not far off the pace of his 71 and 81 marks in those mainstream measures. The Brewers know what they are doing. They often let their stars, like Corbin Burnes, Willy Adames and Devin Williams, walk right before their fortunes take a downturn. Their offense is good enough, and they rightly believe in their ability to prevent runs with a pairing of exceptional team defense and affordable arms who pitch to the apex of their ability in their formative years. Chad Patrick is one of their latest success stories. As usual, they'll be in the NL playoff mix throughout the summer and fall.
