José Soriano dominates for 8 innings in Angels’ victory over Diamondbacks

Soriano had faced the minimum 21 hitters through seven innings, thanks to four double plays. He lost his bid for a shutout when he allowed a solo homer to lead off the eighth.

Angels manager Ron Washington thrilled with players’ response to extended pregame meeting

PHOENIX — Class went long for the Angels on Wednesday afternoon.
The Angels have met almost every day this season to go over what went wrong – and right – from the previous game, but the “classroom,” as Manager Ron Washington calls it, was different this time.
Washington said “there were some things we wanted to address,” so the session ended up being much longer than usual.

Reaction: Jerry West honored before Game3 of NBA Finals

COSTA MESA — Khalil Mack said Wednesday he was willing to restructure his contract during the offseason in order to stay with the Chargers because he believed it was his best chance to win. Joey Bosa said he was willing to restructure his contract because he, too, believed it was his best chance to win.

Swanson: A Lakers legend, Jerry West found a loving home with Clippers

Regrettable, that the rift between the Lakers and Jerry West lasted until his death on Wednesday at 86.
A shame that the man whose inspiring life and legacy can’t be talked about without mentioning the Lakers – for whom he played 14 years and whose front-office tenure led to five NBA titles – was on poor terms with the franchise when he passed away.
West would have liked to end his NBA career with the Lakers – if they’d wanted him back. They didn’t, though, so

Board trying to nanny OC e-bike riders

Whenever we see lawmakers rush to impose new regulations, we like to remind readers about one of the core traits of a free society: self-regulation. If most people behave in a reasonable and conscientious manner, there’s little need for government intervention. This concept is the starting point on our thoughts about Orange County’s new e-bike rules.
Orange County’s Board of Supervisors recently passed rules governing those electric-powered bicycles that now are ubiquitous on r

Stanley Cup Final: Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner needs more help in Game 3

EDMONTON, Alberta — The play of goaltender Stuart Skinner was the biggest question for the Edmonton Oilers going into the Stanley Cup Final.
Through two games, Skinner has done his job and is not the reason his team trails the series 2-0. The onus is on his teammates to get the job done at the other end of the rink against Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers in Game 3 on Thursday night as the series shifts to Alberta.

Alexander: Jerry West’s indelible impact on Southern California

Jerry West taught multiple generations of Southern Californians various lessons through the years.
For children of the ’60s, his and the Lakers’ struggles through the decade against the Boston Celtics reminded us that life wasn’t fair, and valiant effort wasn’t necessarily its own reward. What else could you divine from someone who was named MVP twice of postseasons in which his team lost (the 1960 NCAA Tournament and the 1969 NBA Finals)?
For those who came of age in the
