Giants pounce on Dodgers early, hang on for 5-4 win to take series

After scoring 11 runs Saturday night, the Giants offense continued their hot hitting, jumping on Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw early and never looking back, giving Giants starter Kevin Gausman and the bullpen just enough to hang onto for a 5-4 victory Sunday afternoon. The Giants (33-20) earned their first series win of four or more games at Dodger Stadium since May 8-11, 2014, when they won the series 3-1. Austin Slater and Donovan Solano led off the game with back-to-back singles, and both wer

Soaring Mike Tauchman robs Pujols, opens door for Giants 10th-inning win

A phenomenal leaping catch at the wall from Mike Tauchman in the ninth inning robbed a game-winning home run from Albert Pujols, opening the door for LaMonte Wade Jr. and Evan Longoria to drive home an 8-5 Giants win in 10 innings at Dodger Stadium Friday night. Pinch-hitter Austin Barnes had just smacked a game-tying, three-run homer off Tyler Rogers when Pujols came to the plate poised to win the game for the Dodgers (31-20). It looked like the future Hall of Famer had done just that when Tau

Big or small, Kings look to build around De'Aaron Fox in draft

The Sacramento Kings are coming off a disappointing season, especially when expectations around a young team were starting to brew. They finished 12th in the West at 31-41 in 2019-20, and replaced GM Vlade Divac after he stepped down in August. New GM Monte McNair is tasked with helping head coach Luke Walton transform this budding core into a playoff team. That won’t be an easy task. Last season, the Kings struggled against top tier teams; it doesn’t take an MIT grad to understand 10-23 agains

Sacramento Kings: The 3 steps needed to make the playoffs next season

After firing Dave Joerger following a decent season, it’s clear that the hiring of Luke Walton was no question to get the Kings over the hump and back to the playoffs. On paper, Walton brings stability to the position but he struggled mightily with his one head coaching stint in Los Angeles. Albeit this is a completely different situation and the pressure is slightly less, it is still concerning nonetheless. Walton can be successful if he gets players to buy into his system and spread the floo
