MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers had struggled against left-handed pitching all season and hadn’t solved Milwaukee’s Eric Lauer throughout his entire career.They ended both those slumps emphatically Tuesday night.Mookie Betts, Will Smith and Miguel Vargas homered to help the Dodgers withstand Noah Syndergaard’s early exit in a 6-2 victory over Lauer and the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers had been hitting an MLB-low .193 against lefties this season before breaking through against the left-handed Lauer.“He’s had a lot of success against us, so it was good to kind of hit him around a little bit,” Betts said. “The main thing is we got the win.”Lauer had gone 7-1 with a 2.37 ERA in 11 previous starts against the Dodgers. The only active pitcher who has made at least 10 starts against the Dodgers with a better ERA is San Diego’s Yu Darvish (2.36).He wasn’t nearly as successful this time.Lauer allowed four runs – three earned – in 3 2/3 innings. The unearned run w...Padres top Twins 6-1 with spark from 3-error 7th inning

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The San Diego Padres started small and had a big finish.Somewhere in there, they found a spark.The Padres used three Minnesota errors and savvy baserunning by Ha-Seong Kim and Fernando Tatis Jr. to score twice in the seventh inning on Tuesday, before Manny Machado broke the game open with a three-run homer in the ninth to beat the Twins 6-1 and give Michael Wacha his first win in five starts.Juan Soto had a season-high four hits — the most he’s had for San Diego — with two doubles and a walk for the Padres, who are 18-3 in games when they get three runs or more.“Just putting it all together. If we can do that we’re going to be the best team in baseball,” said Machado, who hit his fifth homer and made two hard-charging barehand scoops at third base to get groundball outs.Wacha (3-1) gave up just three hits and one run in six innings, before the Padres put together their strange tiebreaking seventh.Austin Nola’s sacrifice squeeze bunt scored Kim with the...Judge, Yankees beat A’s 10-5 despite 3 HRs by rookie Diaz

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge is back in the lineup and the New York Yankees are getting healthy at the plate against the worst team in baseball.Gleyber Torres homered for the second consecutive game and drove in three runs as the Yankees overcame three homers by rookie Jordan Diaz in a 10-5 victory Tuesday night over the Oakland Athletics.“It just feels good to have offensive production like that,” New York first baseman Anthony Rizzo said.Diaz launched a solo shot in the fourth inning, a leadoff drive in the seventh and a two-run homer in the eighth. The 22-year-old second baseman from Colombia connected off three different pitchers, giving him four home runs in 30 major league games.“For me, it’s a very special day,” Diaz said through a translator. “I’m just really excited and happy for what happened to me today — especially here.”Diaz said he’d never hit three homers in a game before — at any level — and he plans to keep the souvenir ball from No. 3 at home.

NEW YORK (AP) — This Buddy Holly no longer has to sigh, “That’ll be the day.”A petit basset griffon Vendéen named for the late rock ‘n’ roll legend won won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show Tuesday night, a first for his rabbit-hunting breed. Buddy Holly bested six other finalists to garner the most prestigious dog show award in the United States. PBGVs, as they’re known for short, are the 154th most prevalent purebreds in the country, according to recent American Kennel Club rankings.“I never thought a PBGV would do this,” handler and co-owner Janice Hayes said. “Buddy Holly is the epitome of a show dog.”His competitors included Rummie, a Pekingese that aimed to bring home the third trophy in 11 years for his small-but-regal breed. Winston the French bulldog was gunning for the title after coming oh-so-close last year.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Mets lost for the 12th time in 15 games and Buck Showalter was ejected for the first time as New York’s manager as Jonathan India drove in three runs in the Cincinnati Reds’ 7-6 win on Tuesday night.With New York trailing 4-1 in the fifth, Cincinnati’s Kevin Newman hit the ball up the middle and a sliding Wil Myers, with his right arm extended in the direction of Francisco Lindor, was hit by the ball, preventing the shortstop from making a clean play. The 66-year-old Showalter, hired by the Mets before the 2022 season. was tossed by crew chief Mark Wegner.“It’s pretty obvious what it was,” Showalter said. “But It’s hard to imagine four guys not being able to see what happened. There’s about three ways you could get that play right. We had opportunities for it to not matter. We just didn’t pitch very well early on.”Bench coach Eric Chavez took over as manager.Lindor thought the play should have been subject to video review.“I ...Nuggets beat Suns 118-102 in Game 5 to regain series lead

The crash happened Tuesday evening near 39th Avenue and Forest Street. “A car comes around, or a truck comes around the corner, hits the pothole.

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- A tough situation is getting even more difficult for several families displaced by a Christmas Eve fire in Aurora. Options have run out and now they must find new homes by May 17. A portion of the Shadow Tree Apartments was left with extensive damage after the fire, including the presence of exposed asbestos. Aurora Fire Rescue confirms the cause was accidental. The management placed the residents at a nearby hotel. “We can’t cook, we can’t eat, right. I go to work, come home and have to sit in one room,” said Moreen Luna, who is a grandmother.

There could be a light at the end of the tunnel for MBTA passengers, and not from a subway train that’s on fire.As the Herald reported, safety oversight of the T could fall under a new independent agency, if Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro gets his wish.Shapiro was responding to legislation filed by state Rep. William Straus that called for safety oversight to be moved to Shapiro’s office. The IG gave that idea a thumb’s down.Testifying Monday at a Joint Committee on Transportation hearing, Shapiro said that he instead favors moving this watchdog role from the Department of Public Utilities to a new independent agency “focused solely on safety of the MBTA.”Amen to that.MBTA safety is too big of a chronic problem for it to share bandwidth with other department functions.
