The Sports Report: Dodgers lose game and almost lose Shohei Ohtani
From Kevin Baxter: The Dodgers lost a game Wednesday. But it could have been worse. They could have lost Shohei Ohtani. The final score was 8-3 in favor of the Colorado Rockies, although the game was far more one-sided than that. And the result, combined with San Diego's win over the Giants, cut the Dodgers' lead in the National League West to just a game. Yet the word the team used most often to describe the night was lucky because two hours after Ohtani took a line drive off his right leg, the reigning National League MVP said he had dodged serious injury when the ball missed his knee and struck him in the thigh. 'I think we avoided the worst-case scenario,' he said through an interpreter. 'So I'm going to focus on the treatment.' 'It was in the thigh, fortunately, and not off the knee,' added manager Dave Roberts. 'But it got him square. 'We'll see how it comes out. But I'm hopeful, confident.'

Hard-throwing Edgardo Henriquez settling in with Dodgers Dodgers box score MLB scores MLB standings Yusei Kikuchi threw seven strong innings, Luis Rengifo hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth and the Angels beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Wednesday night. Bryce Teodosio doubled off reliever Graham Ashcraft (7-5) to open the eighth and took third on a wild pitch. Oswald Peraza grounded out, with Teodosio holding, and Rengifo fisted an RBI single over third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes' head for the lead. Reid Detmers (4-3) struck out two in a scoreless eighth for the victory. With Angels closer Kenley Jansen unavailable because of a left rib-cage injury, Luis Garcia retired the side in order in the ninth for his first save. Continue reading here Angels box score MLB scores MLB standings From Ira Gorawara: It was a night when defenders draped over Kelsey Plum, her path to the rim often crowded. And when she turned to the officials for relief, the whistles were elusive. But when it mattered most — that being with 3.3 seconds to play and the Sparks trailing by one — Plum lowered her shoulder and slipped between swiping arms and lunging bodies. One defender stumbled, another bit on a fake and Plum glided almost untouched into the lane, kissing a floater off the glass as the horn sounded in an 81-80 Sparks escape. 'Just a heck of a finish by her,' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said. Plum's teammates mobbed her, embracing the veteran who appeared unsatisfied during her seven minutes on the bench and frustrated after Dallas defenders batted away her attempts at the rim. All of it faded, though, once she poured in 10 fourth-quarter points en route to 20 on the night. 'I feel like that's what basketball is all about — putting on a show for [fans],' the Sparks' Rickea Jackson said. 'Both teams truly did that and everyone enjoyed themselves and got their money's worth tonight.' Continue reading here Sparks box score WNBA standings From Patrick J. McDonnell and Jad El Reda: Julio César Chávez Jr., whose high-profile boxing career was marred by substance abuse and other struggles and never approached the heights of his legendary father, was in Mexican custody Tuesday after being deported from the United States. His expulsion had been expected since July, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him outside his Studio City home and accused him of making 'fraudulent statements' on his application to become a U.S. permanent resident. In Mexico, Chávez, 39, faces charges of organized crime affiliation and arms trafficking, Mexican authorities say.

Rengifo has tiebreaking RBI single in the 8th to back Kikuchi in the Angels' 2-1 win over the Reds
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Yusei Kikuchi threw seven strong innings, Luis Rengifo hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Wednesday night. Bryce Teodosio doubled off reliever Graham Ashcraft (7-5) to open the eighth and took third on a wild pitch. Oswald Peraza grounded out, with Teodosio holding, and Rengifo fisted an RBI single over third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes' head for the lead. Reid Detmers (4-3) struck out two in a scoreless eighth for the victory. With Angels closer Kenley Jansen unavailable because of a left rib-cage injury, Luis Garcia retired the side in order in the ninth for his first save. Both starters excelled in no-decisions, Reds right-hander Nick Martinez allowing one run and two hits in six innings, and the left-handed Kikuchi allowing one run and seven hits in seven innings, escaping a first-and-third, no-out jam in the second and a two-on, no-out jam in the sixth. The Reds took a 1-0 lead in the third when Hayes doubled and scored on Noelvi Marte's two-out RBI single. The Angels countered in the fourth on Yoán Moncada's homer to left-center, his ninth of the season. Angels shortstop Zach Neto was pulled to start the sixth because of left-wrist soreness after getting hit by a Martinez changeup in the third. A lack of communication between Teodosio, the Angels center fielder, and right fielder Jo Adell allowed Marte's lazy fly ball to drop in the gap in the sixth, putting two on with no outs. But Kikuchi got Elly De La Cruz to fly to left and Andujar and Hayes to ground out to preserve a 1-1 tie. Key stat Kikuchi finished the sixth inning once in his previous nine starts and averaged 101 pitches through an average of five innings in his previous four starts. But he was much more efficient Wednesday, needing 88 pitches to complete seven innings. Up next
