We'll see if the Ducks can bounce back in Vegas. The blown icing aside, they blew multiple chances to make that blown call irrelevant. Can't go 0-4 on the power play if you want to win. But the Ducks should expect the Golden Knights to be better than they were on Monday.

Brock Stewart closes it out in his first game of 2026. The Dodgers brought the bats today. Especially Andy Pages, who had a hat trick with 3 homers. The Dodger bullpen picked up Tyler Glasnow and only gave up 1 run. Road trip could've been better, but it also could've been worse.

Alex Freeland brings home Hyeseong Kim. It's 11-1 Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani with his 2nd hit of the game. Dalton Rushing scores. Double digits for the Dodgers. 10-1.

Andy Pages staying hot. 2nd of the game. Home Run number 7 gives the Dodgers a 9-1 lead.

RBI double for Freddie Freeman. Shohei Ohtani scores. 7-1 Dodgers.

Andy Pages apparently has a train to catch, because he tried to reach the train tracks. Home Run number 6 gives the Dodgers a 6-1 lead.

Back to back wild pitches result in 2 runs for the Dodgers. They'll take it. 3-1 LA.

Uh oh. Tyler Glasnow leaves the game before throwing a pitch in the 2nd inning. Not good.

That will work. A wild pitch scores Kyle Tucker. Tied game at 1.

Brice Matthews takes Tyler Glasnow to the Crawford boxes. 1-0 Houston.

Today's #Dodgers lineup at Astros:

Happy Cinco!

A pathetic showing in Houston. After scoring 8 runs last night, they score on 1 tonight, and ruin another gem from Shohei Ohtani. The offense once again is inconsistent. Tyler Glasnow in the rubber game tomorrow.

What exactly is Santiago Espinal's role on this team again?

Base hit Kyle Tucker. Alex Call scores. Dodgers finally on the board. 2-1 Houston.

Shohei Ohtani finishes 7 innings on just 89 pitches. He's done his job. It's the offense that needs to do their job.

Bro, what was Jose Altuve swinging at????

I don't get why this offense completely freezes up when Shohei Ohtani is on the mound.

Funny, I don't remember Kyle Tucker getting booed when returned to Houston as a member of the Cubs.

Braden Shewmake goes the opposite way to the Crawford boxes. 2-0 Astros.

Christian Walker. Still a Dodger killer. 1-0 Houston.

A scoreless 1-2-3 1st inning for Shohei Ohtani. Struck out Jose Altuve and Isaac Paredes.

I'm fully aware that Cinco de Mayo is not celebrated in Mexico. I'm still having 5 margaritas tonight.

Tonight's #Dodgers lineup at Astros:

The non-icing call aside, you can't go 0-4 on the power play and expect to win. That was the game. Anaheim must clean that up by Wednesday. Still a chance to get a split in Vegas.

Empty net goal. Vegas takes Game 1. Ducks played a solid game. But that no icing call is going to drive fans in Orange County nuts.

That should've been icing. Instead, it's allowed to play on, and Ivan Barbashev takes advantage. 2-1 Vegas.

Granlund! Tied game!

Ducks power play, which was a big reason why they beat Edmonton, now 0-3. That's not going to get it done against Vegas.

Good to see the bats come to life. They do what they should against a struggling pitching staff, and pound them. Was plenty for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who was solid after a shaky 1st inning.

Nice pass by Mitch Marner. Finds Brett Howden in front. 1-0 Vegas.

1st period on the books. Both teams with chances. Both goalies coming out strong. Leo Carlsson just missed on a backhand attempt.

Big time early save by Lukas Dostál on Rasmus Andersson.

Another RBI hit for Freddie Freeman. Alex Freeland scores. 8-2 Dodgers. The offense has finally broken out.

Just like the 1st round, I have no expectations for the Ducks. Just here to enjoy the ride. Do I believe they can beat the Golden Knights? Absolutely. But I'm not expecting it either. Just enjoy this Ducks fans.

A base hit by Freddie Freeman scores 2, as the ball is mishandled in the outfield. 7-2 Dodgers.

Kyle Tucker blasts one in his return to Houston. Home Run number 4 gives the Dodgers a 4-2 lead.

Will Smith hammers a ball that Zach Cole can't come up with. Shohei Ohtani scores. Dodgers back on top, 3-2.

Alex Freeland goes opposite field into the Crawford boxes. The first Dodger home run in over a week. Home Run number 2 ties the game.

Now a wild pitch gets away from Will Smith, and Isaac Paredes scores. Astros take a 2-1 lead.

Tonight’s #Dodgers lineup at Astros:

Found this while going through my drawers. From the old playoff runs last decade. Pulling it out for Game 1 tonight. #FlyTogether

Just got a rejection letter from a job I applied for one year ago. To say looking for a new job has been a frustrating process would be an understatement. Thankfully I still do I have my current job. But man, this sucks.

Can't believe how bad the Tigers fumbled this. The opportunity to cash in on Tarik Skubal was right there, and they could've gotten a nice haul. Now, they may very much lose him for nothing. Just complete mismanagement in Detroit.

John Sterling was an iconic voice in the Bronx for decades. RIP John Sterling

The Dodgers offer our condolences to the family, friends and fans of renowned Yankees announcer John Sterling, who has passed away at age 87. We share in remembering this beloved broadcaster.
