BALTIMORE — When Chad Billingsley was put on the 15-day disabled list Sunday because of pain in his throwing elbow, Manager Don Mattingly wondered if the former All-Star's season would end on an operating table. "It's hard not to think about it,"...

Look out Clayton Kershaw, seems the Dodgers now have a pair of good-hitting starting pitchers. Hyun-Jin Ryu, who did not pick up a bat for the last seven years while playing in South Korea, had three hits Saturday against the Diamondbacks. Apparently...

It was only the ninth game of the season, but it figures to be one the Dodgers will remember. And possibly for a very long time. Following a brawl that erupted in the bottom of the sixth inning, Dodgers starter Zack Greinke left the game. [Updated...
