• Game Center: Chargers vs. Denver Broncos, Sunday, 1:05 p.m., Dignity Health Sports Park

  05-10-2019 22:43 via ocregister.com
  
  The Chargers and their injury-ravaged lineup take the field Sunday for their first AFC West game of the 2019 season, facing the Denver Broncos at Dignity Health Sports Park. This game will likely mark the return to the field of Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, who said this week he’ll be inspired to answer those analysts who were critical of his holdout during training camp and most of September.
  The Chargers are 2-2 after the first quarter of the season, the Broncos 0-4. Ret

  ANAHEIM — The Ducks skated and skated and skated some more during their season-opening victory Thursday over the Arizona Coyotes at Honda Center. They passed and shot the puck. They intercepted passes and denied scoring chances. They gave up one goal, but scored twice.
  One thing was missing as the minutes ticked past.
  Where was their steady march to the penalty box, a dubious distinction of their play at times down the seasons? By game’s end, the Ducks were whistled for one minor pen

• Dodgers’ Hyun-Jin Ryu, Russell Martin bring mutual respect into NLDS Game 3 assignment

  LOS ANGELES — Asked to pinpoint the source of his struggles this season, Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu blamed himself.
  “Whenever I have an off game,” he said Friday, “it’s usually the balance when I make the delivery and that led to mistake pitches.”
  Publicly and privately, Ryu has resisted blaming the man in a crouch behind home plate. Call it a coincidence, but Ryu was irrefutably bad during a stretch of three summer starts with rookie Will Smith catching.

  The shorter the series, the taller the pitcher.
  That shadow over this National League Division Series belongs to Stephen Strasburg.
  He is 6-foot-5 and he throws delicately-located 95 mph fastballs, and he also has changeups and a jumping frog of a curveball. He made the Dodgers flail and flounder on Friday night, when Washington won Game 2, 4-2, and tied the best-of-five series, 1-1. The Dodgers suddenly have to figure out how to win around him.
