LOS ANGELES >> When Austin Kent thinks back to his cringe-worthy minus-1-yard punt at Washington State — the one that landed him on the receiving end of a nationally televised chewing out from Coach Jim Mora — he nods his head and lets a wry smile creep over his face. At this point, that’s all...

MIAMI >> Evidence is mounting to suggest that the baseballs used by major league teams are changing. Anyone can count the number of home runs, which occurred at a record-high rate in the first half of the season. Some have tested the composition of baseballs; reports on TheRinger.com and FiveT...

LOS ANGELES >> Whatever old school remedy or homeopathic medicine you’re thinking of, the Dodgers have heard of it and Rich Hill has probably already tried it.“We’re getting a lot of things in our inbox, a lot of suggestions,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said with a smile Monday. “The trainin...

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Rich Hill had a blister problem last season. He does not have a problem with blisters.“There’s also been recalls on Toyotas that are very reliable, you know what I mean?” the Dodgers left-hander said with a chuckle. “I mean, it had never happened before in my career. It was such an outlier that it’s not something I look at and feel is going to be an issue.”Hill has had other issues that sidelined him over the years — a groin injury early last season, shoulder woes earlier in his career and so on. He has made more than 20 starts (last year’s combined total between the Oakland A’s and Dodgers) and thrown more than last year’s 110 1/3 iings just once in his career. That was ba...

RIO DE JANEIRO >> Sarah Hammer won another Olympic silver medal Saturday, her third overall and second in team pursuit. This one, however, felt awfully different than the one her U.S. cycling team claimed in London four years ago. This time, the Americans pushed Great Britain, even leading the final race in the early stages, before finishing ruer-up to a performance that broke the world record. “We got close,” said Hammer, a graduate of Chaparral High in Temecula. “We’ve never even been within striking distance (of Great Britain) in a big competition. In the Olympic Games before, we showed up at the start line knowing that we were beat.” The U.S. finished barely two seconds behind the...

Dustin Johnson started and finished the day tied with Luke List for the Canadian Open lead. The U.S. Open champion had to make up a lot of ground to do it. Johnson had a double bogey and two bogeys on his first holes Friday in windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario. He rebounded with six birdies and had a late bogey in a 1-under 71. List also shot a 71, birdieing the par-5 16th and 18th after dropping making three bogeys in a four-hole stretch early on the back nine. Canadian amateur Jared du Toit, former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm and Kelly Kraft were a stroke back, also each shooting 71. Du Toit made the tu tied for the lead at 7 under, then had a triple-bogey ...

Dustin Johnson made a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole Thursday for a 6-under 66 and a share of the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open lead with Luke List. The U.S. Open champion set up the eagle with a 364-yard drive and 150-yard approach. In windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario, Johnson also had seven birdies and drove into the water on the par-4 14th en route to a double bogey. Johnson played the three back-nine par-5 holes in 4 under. List birdied all four par 5s in a round he closed with seven pars. Canadian amateur Jared du Toit was a stroke back along with former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm, Chesson Hadley and Kelly Kraft. Coming off his junior season for ...

LAS VEGAS — For being the No. 1 pick on Season 23 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Tatiana Suarez somehow managed to fly under the radar. Outside of the Octagon, that is. In the cage, in typical Suarez fashion, she let her actions do the talking. The former wrestling prodigy was as dominant as expected, advancing into Friday night’s Ultimate Fighter Finale strawweight final with a first-round submission of Kate Jackson that aired Wednesday night on Fox Sports 1. For a relative novice to MMA — Suarez was 2-0 as an amateur before going 3-0 as a pro — it was a priceless six weeks for the one-time world-class wrestler. “Every time I felt like I got better and better and more relaxed and more comforta...

BEVERLY HILLS — The best way Sarah Hammer can describe her sport is organized chaos. The Redondo Beach native and Temecula Chaparral High School graduate will be competing in bicycle track racing at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. It is not just time-trial racing, one or two cyclists on the track at the same time. It’s more like NASCAR short-track racing with 43 cars banging into each other every lap on a half-mile oval. In this case, it is 20 cyclists practically ruing into each other on a 250-meter banked oval track. “It looks ugly,” Hammer said of some aspects of her sport. “People are blown up all over the place. It’s not that fluid like a beautiful team. “So one of the big things is ...

MILWAUKEE — Whatever deficiencies, dilemmas or disabled list moves the Dodgers had to deal with four out of every five days, they could count on everything being right in their world on that fifth day. They won’t have that rock to lean on for awhile. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was diagnosed with a mild heiation of a disc in his lower back and received an epidural injection Wednesday after being examined by back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles. The Dodgers are optimistic the injury will not require surgery but Kershaw will be placed on the disabled list until at least the All-Star break. Kershaw will be eligible to retu after the All-Star break — but there is no guarantee he wi...

MILWAUKEE — Whatever deficiencies, dilemmas or disabled-list moves the Dodgers had to deal with four out of every five days, they could count on everything being right in their world on that fifth day. They won’t have that rock to lean on for awhile. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw received an epidural injection in his lower back Wednesday and will be placed on the DL until at least the All-Star break. The team has not specified a diagnosis from Kershaw’s examination by back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles. But an epidural injection usually indicates an issue of some kind with a disc. Kershaw will be eligible to retu after the All-Star break — but there is no guarantee that he will...
