Dodgers-Padres lives up to the hype as L.A. prevails in 10th inning
SAN DIEGO — Rivalries in baseball can sometimes be difficult to define. There are the obvious ones. Like the Yankees and Red Sox. The Cardinals and Cubs. And for the Dodgers, going all the way back to their founding in New York, a generations-old hatred for the Giants. 'By definition, you can't just decide to choose your rivalry because one team gets good,' veteran third baseman Max Muncy said. 'And for the Dodgers, that'll always be the Giants.' But periodically, there are other emotionally-charged, highly-competitive, and steadily simmering clashes; often taking root between simultaneous contenders, bad-blooded division foes or closely situated fan bases sharing a mutual dislike. Over the last half-decade, that's what has slowly been built between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres. And in their first renewal of the season on Monday night at Petco Park, an 8-6 extra-innings win for the Dodgers, the two clubs lived up to the matchup's ever-growing hype. 'Both teams are good. The fan bases are very adamant. Both environments have been hostile over the last several years,' Muncy said. 'It brings everything that a rivalry should bring.' A traditional rivalry, it's still not quite. The Dodgers have as many World Series titles as the Padres do playoff appearances (eight each). Since the Padres last won the National League West in 2006, the Dodgers have done it 13 times. But after three playoff meetings in the last five years, and a seemingly tight division race on tap this season, Dodgers-Padres is now a full-blown, certifiably legitimate rivalry — at least in the eyes of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. 'I think it's become a rivalry,' Roberts said, 'because the stakes have been higher.' That was certainly the case last October, when the Dodgers outlasted the Padres in a memorable five-game National League Division Series. But even entering Monday, the importance of this week's three-game series at Petco Park — plus a four-game rematch between the teams next week at Dodger Stadium — had been magnified, the Dodgers leading the Padres by just one game in the National League West standings in their pursuit to defend last year's World Series title. 'It's going to be an intense series,' Roberts said. 'It probably will feel like a playoff game tonight.' It certainly played out that way. Both teams scored twice in the first inning. The lead then changed hands three times between the second, when the Padres scored on a Will Smith throwing error; and the third, when Smith answered back with a two-run homer to punctuate a three-run rally, only for the Padres to score three of their own on a bases-loaded triple from Tyler Wade that got past a diving Teoscar Hernández in right center. The Dodgers (40-29) got the game tied again in the fifth, with Hyeseong Kim doubling home Max Muncy in a rare opportunity against a left-handed pitcher (he is three-for-three in such situations this season). The Padres (36-29) skirted even more trouble along the way. In the fourth, the Dodgers couldn't take advantage of an infield pop-up that dropped between three Padres fielders. In the eighth, San Diego reliever Adrian Morejon misfired on the most routine of throws to first base with two outs, letting Shohei Ohtani reach second, but then struck out Freddie Freeman to escape unscathed. But once the game reached the 10th, the Dodgers surged ahead. Andy Pages led off with a line-drive RBI double that outfielder Brandon Lockridge badly misread in left. Tommy Edman followed with an RBI single that ricocheted off the second base bag. And though closer Tanner Scott gave up an RBI double to Jackson Merrill — one at-bat after Manny Machado was rung up on a controversial called third strike — the former Padres left-hander limited the damage there. Round 1 of Dodgers-Padres this year went to the defending champions. More heavyweight fights figure to follow.

Kikuchi carries shutout into 8th and Angels beat A's 7-4 despite Clarke's amazing catch
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Yusei Kikuchi took a one-hit shutout into the eighth inning and Jo Adell homered and drove in three runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Athletics 7-4 on Monday night. Mike Trout had two RBIs for the Angels, who shook off the latest incredible catch by Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke in center field. Kikuchi (2-5) yielded just a one-out single to Max Muncy in the fifth and exited after striking out Nick Kurtz with his 104th pitch to begin the eighth. The left-hander struck out five and walked one in a brilliant outing. Muncy and pinch-hitter JJ Bleday homered late for the Athletics. Clarke continued to dazzle with his glove, climbing the wall and hanging from the top to rob Nolan Schanuel of a solo homer in the first. Clarke ran full speed into the fence to make a courageous catch against the Orioles last week. Zach Neto, Schanuel and Trout provided three straight RBI singles off Jeffrey Springs (5-5) to give the Angels a 3-0 lead in the third. Springs entered after Grant Holman opened with a scoreless inning. Adell hit his 12th home run — a solo shot off Springs in the fourth for a 4-0 lead — and followed a sacrifice fly by Trout in the eighth with a two-run single for a 7-2 advantage. Muncy hit his fourth home run — a two-run shot off Shaun Anderson in the ninth. Connor Brogdon gave up a single to Luis Urías after replacing Kikuchi, and Bleday followed with his seventh homer to make it 4-2. Ryan Zeferjahn got the final two outs in the eighth. Jacob Wilson went 0 for 4 for the Athletics, ending his run of five straight games with multiple hits. The three straight singles by Neto, Schanuel and Trout off Springs came after Holman retired them in order in the first. The Angels outscored the Athletics 31-18 in winning all four games May 19-22 at Sutter Health Park — the A's temporary home. RHP José Soriano (4-5, 4.11 ERA) starts for Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Athletics hadn't announced a scheduled starter. ___ AP MLB:
