Teoscar Hernández hits a 3-run homer and the Dodgers beat the Padres 5-2 to win the series
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Teoscar Hernández broke a sixth-inning tie with a three-run homer and Michael Conforto also went deep for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 on Wednesday to take two of three games in the first series this season between the NL West rivals. The defending World Series champions bounced back from Tuesday night's 11-1 loss, a rout so bad for the pitching-strapped Dodgers that utilityman Kiké Hernández pitched the final 2 1/3 innings after starter Matt Sauer threw 111 pitches. Rookie right-hander Ben Casparius got through four innings in his second start of the season, with just one rough patch. He allowed five straight Padres to reach in the second but they got just one run, thanks largely to center fielder Andy Pages throwing out Gavin Sheets at the plate on a 99 mph throw on the fly to catcher Will Smith. After allowing three straight singles, Casparius walked consecutive batters, including No. 9 hitter Martín Maldonado with the bases loaded. Fernando Tatis Jr. then flied out on the first pitch to end the threat. Conforto homered to left-center off Randy Vásquez with one out in the fifth, his fourth. Hernández hit a 420-foot shot to straightaway center field off Jeremiah Estrada with one out in the sixth, his 11th. Freddie Freeman was aboard on a single off Adrian Morejon (3-3), and Smith drew a walk from Estrada. After pulling to 4-2 on Sheets' sacrifice fly in the sixth, the Padres blew another prime scoring chance when Michael Kopech walked the bases loaded with one out in the seventh. Anthony Banda came on and retired three-time batting champion Luis Arraez on a weak popup and Manny Machado on a grounder. Key moment Pages' throw home was on the first base side of the plate, but Smith caught it, wheeled around and tagged Sheets. Key stat Lou Trivino (2-0) got the win and Alex Vesia, the Dodgers' eighth pitcher, struck out the side in the ninth for his third save. Up next Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4, 2.20 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at home against San Francisco. Padres RHP Stephen Kolek (3-1, 3.00) starts the opener of a three-game series at Arizona. ___

Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins defends discrepancies about his father playing for Yankees
Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made some headlines prior to his first career start against the Yankees last week when he said he'd rather retire than pitch for New York. Now he's explaining why the claims he made about his father once playing in the minors for Boston's longtime rival aren't the intentional fabrication a New York Post report says they were. Hunter Dobbins said Wednesday he was made aware of the Post story, but said there is nothing nefarious about the connections he said his father had to the Yankees. 'My feelings and all that are based on my personal experiences and nothing to do with growing up or family,' Dobbins said. 'The whole backstory is stuff I heard growing up and seen pictures of from my dad. At the end of my day it's just from my dad and how I kind of grew my love for the game. But at the end of the day I don't go and fact-check my dad or anything like that.' In a June 7 Boston Herald feature on Dobbins that ran the day before he allowed three runs and four hits in five innings of an 11-7 win over the Yankees, he said that his father, Lance Dobbins, had been drafted twice by the Yankees before being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The story also makes reference to Dobbins saying his father was friends with Andy Pettitte, who played 15 major league seasons with New York. But the Post report found no evidence of any of that, citing multiple official databases and the Yankees' own records that couldn't substantiate Lance Dobbins having played with the organization. Lance Dobbins' own profile on doesn't list any Yankees affiliation. The 2025 Red Sox Media Guide does mention him on Hunter Dobbins' biography page, but says only that Lance "pitched for 2 seasons (1996-97) in the Diamondbacks organization.' Dobbins, who is scheduled to pitch again against the Yankees on Saturday at Fenway Park, said he has since spoken to his father 'a little, but not really' about the Post story that first noted the discrepancies. 'My whole focus is on Saturday and getting ready to face the Yankees," Hunter Dobbins said. "This is my first time in the big leagues facing a team for a second time, let alone back-to-back. So that's where my focus is 100%. I imagine we'll talk in the future or something like that. But it's been a bigger deal than it ever really needed to be. But at the end of the day I really just need to get ready to go for Saturday' The 25-year-old is 3-1 with a 4.20 ERA this season. He said he isn't surprised the story has gotten the attention it has in recent days. 'This is a great rivalry," Dobbins said. "Two cities that have a long history together. Anything that's kind of in the news that goes with both of them, that's going to turn into a story. It adds to the game and we just have to embrace it and keep rolling.' ___ More AP baseball: recommended

‘I don't go and fact check my dad': Hunter Dobbins addresses false Yankees claims
BOSTON — Last weekend in New York, rookie starter Hunter Dobbins added some fuel to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. Dobbins told the Boston Herald he would rather 'retire' than play for the Yankees, citing how his father, Lance, had been drafted twice by the Yankees and traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Dobbins' Texas Tech bio, as well as his bio in the Red Sox media guide make note of his father's career. Advertisement On Tuesday, the New York Post reported that Lance Dobbins had never played for either organization. On Wednesday, Dobbins addressed the story about his false claims. 'My feelings (on the Yankees) and all that, they're based off of my personal experiences and nothing to do with growing up or family,' Dobbins said. 'And also it's a rivalry, so we're just having some fun. Jazz (Chisholm Jr.) got into it too, and we had a good time about it. 'The whole backstory, stuff that I had heard growing up, and seen pictures from my dad — at the end of the day, it's just from my dad, and what kind of grew my love for the game. But at the end of the day, I don't go and fact check my dad or anything like that.' Hunter Dobbins isn't too concerned about a New York Post article 🤷♂️ "Doesn't faze me … my focus is [on] performing for the guys here in the locker room, for the fans." — NESN (@NESN) June 11, 2025 Dobbins said he wasn't surprised by the stir his comments made. 'Not really, this is a great rivalry,' he said. 'It's two cities that have a long history together. Anything that's kind of in the news that goes with both of them is going to turn into a story. It just adds to the game and we just have to embrace and kind of keep rolling.' The 25-year-old earned a win on Sunday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on four hits. He is scheduled to start against the Yankees again on Saturday when New York visits Boston. 'My focus has been on Saturday,' Dobbins said. 'This is my first time in the big leagues facing the same team a second time, let alone back to back. So that's where my focus is 100 percent.' Asked how much of a distraction this might have caused for himself, Dobbins didn't view it that way. 'Doesn't faze me, doesn't bother me,' he said. 'I love working with the media, everybody has been great. My focus has been performing for the locker room and the fans of Boston,' he said. 'Growing up watching those series you can't wait to be on the mound for it.' Dobbins has a 4.20 ERA in 10 games, including eight starts, this season for the Red Sox with 10 walks and 37 strikeouts.
