Mandatory Credit: William Liang-Imagn Images Roki Sasaki allowed one run on four hits over seven innings and Kyle Tucker went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game Freeway Series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 10-1 victory on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.
Sasaki (2-3) didn’t walk a batter for the first time in 16 career starts and struck out a career-high eight batters. He threw 91 pitches, 69 for strikes, while garnering his third career victory.
Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a run scored, Hyeseong Kim also had two hits, an RBI and two runs scored and Andy Pages drove in two runs for the Dodgers, who won their fifth straight game.
Nolan Schanuel had two hits and a run scored, Mike Trout had a double and Yoan Moncada had an RBI single for the Angels, who lost their sixth straight game and for the eighth time in nine games.
Grayson Rodriguez (0-1), obtained in a trade in the offseason from the Baltimore Orioles for outfielder Taylor Ward, made his first start since July 31, 2024, after undergoing Tommy John surgery and suffered the loss. Rodriguez, who hit 99 mph with his fastball, allowed seven runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out four.
The Dodgers, who outscored the Angels, 31-3, in the three-game sweep, took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Tucker led off with a single and advanced to third after back-to-back walks to Max Muncy and Dalton Rushing. Miguel Rojas then drove in Tucker with a sacrifice fly, and Kim followed with an RBI single.
The Dodgers broke the game open in fourth inning with five runs on five hits, including two-run singles by Ohtani and Pages.
The Angels cut the lead to 7-1 in the bottom of the fourth on a two-out ground single to right by Moncada, driving in Schanuel, who had singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch.
The Dodgers added three more runs off reliever Ryan Johnson in the ninth, highlighted by a two-run double by Tucker.

Edgar Quero's game-winning homer lifts White Sox over Cubs
May 17, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago White Sox catcher Edgar Quero (26) hits a one run single against the Chicago Cubs during the second inning at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images Edgar Quero smacked a game-ending two-run home run in the 10th inning and joined Andrew Benintendi with a three-hit game to lift the host Chicago White Sox to a 9-8 victory against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
The White Sox finished 7-2 on a nine-game homestand while earning their fifth series victory in the past six. They prevailed after a wild finish in which they outscored the Cubs 5-4 from the eighth inning onward.
Quero and Tristan Peters, who delivered a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth, both went deep for the first time this season. Quero connected against Cubs reliever Ryan Rolison (3-1).
Closer Seranthony Dominguez couldn’t hold the lead for the South Siders after the Peters homer, yielding a tying three-run blast to Michael Conforto after a walk and third baseman Miguel Vargas’ one-out error.
Alex Bregman had two hits and two RBIs for the Cubs. He drove in a run on a groundout in the top of the 10th. Conforto also had two hits.
The Cubs took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Michael Busch opened the scoring two batters into the game, reaching White Sox starter Erick Fedde for a two-run home run to right field on a full count.
Fedde has yielded a home run in four consecutive starts and seven of nine appearances overall. He later uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Bregman to score.
Quero delivered an RBI single in the second to put the White Sox on the board. After Bregman’s run-scoring single in the fourth restored a three-run advantage for the Cubs, the White Sox responded with Benintendi’s RBI double in the bottom half.
Vargas tied the game with a two-run double with two out in the fifth, sending a ball the opposite way to the gap in right center.
Both starters took no-decisions. Fedde, who pitched with a blister issue on his right throwing hand for much of the afternoon, spaced four runs and six hits with four walks and two strikeouts over three innings.
Rea scattered four runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out four.
Tyler Davis (2-1) was the winner, allowing an unearned run in the 10th while working around three walks.
A crowd of 38,608 attended the game, the third sellout in as many contests in the crosstown series.

Rebilas-Imagn Images The Seattle Mariners recalled top prospect infielder Colt Emerson prior to Sunday’s game against the San Diego Padres.
Seattle placed infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (groin) on the 10-day injured list to open up a roster spot. The IL move is retroactive to May 16.
Emerson, 20, is set to make his major league debut. He is in the lineup at third base and batting ninth against the Padres.
Emerson is rated as Seattle’s No. 1 prospect and the sixth overall in the majors by MLB Pipeline.
According to the Mariners, Emerson (20 years, 301 days) will be the youngest player to make his Seattle debut since right-hander Felix Hernandez (19 years, 118 days) on Aug. 4, 2005.
Emerson is the second-youngest player to debut in the majors this season behind Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin (age 19).
The left-handed-hitting Emerson is batting .255 with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 38 games at Triple-A Tacoma this season. He was a first-round pick (22nd overall) in the 2023 draft.
On March 31, Emerson signed an eight-year, $95 million deal with the Mariners through the 2033 season with a club option for 2034.
Donovan, 29, is batting .274 with three homers and eight RBIs in 25 games this season. He was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in the offseason.

Astros 2B Jose Altuve placed on IL with Grade 2 left oblique strain
May 12, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (27) reacts after batting during the eighth inning against the Seattle Mariners at Daikin Park. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will go on the injured list after exiting Saturday’s game with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, Houston manager Joe Espada told reporters Sunday.
Altuve underwent an MRI exam Sunday morning after he was removed ahead of the ninth inning. During his eighth-inning at-bat, he grimaced after connecting on a grounder to third and did not run out the play, instead walking back to the dugout in pain.
Espada did not share an idea of a timeline for how long Altuve could be sidelined.
“Obviously just not what we wanted to hear,” Espada said. “But we find ourselves having to fight through this one here. So these young players are going to continue to get opportunities.”
The Astros are already without third baseman Carlos Correa, who had season-ending ankle surgery, and Jeremy Pena, who has been sidelined since April 11 with a hamstring strain but could return as soon as Monday in Minnesota.
Altuve, 36, is hitting .245 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 42 games this season. The nine-time All-Star has played his entire 16-year career with Houston, posting a career .302 average with 259 homers and 901 RBIs.
