SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Padres allowed an unearned run in the first inning of a 1-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels tonight in their first exhibition game at Petco Park in 2020. Like most sporting events around the world, fans were barred from attending under public health directives prohibiting public events and gatherings. Angels reliever Keynan Middleton took a knee and clenched his right fist above his head during the playing of the national anthem. David Fletcher...
GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer ANAHEIM (AP) - With his first child due to arrive shortly, Mike Trout thought hard about skipping this shortened major league season. The Los Angeles Angels' three-time AL MVP also isn't sure he'll still be in uniform in October if the Angels capitalize on the expanded opportunity by landing a playoff berth. Not much is certain about this unique baseball summer, but Trout is betting he'll be glad he took time out from impending fatherhood to...
BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fernando Tatis Jr. has become one of the faces of the San Diego Padres, with or without a facemask. The exciting young shortstop has been taking coronavirus protocols seriously, including wearing a mask during summer camp workouts. He even wore one during a Zoom session with the media. The 21-year-old Tatis wants to play as much of the 60-game season as possible while keeping his teammates safe, even if only one other Padres play...
STEPHEN WHYNO AP Sports Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday it is dropping the "Redskins" name and Indian head logo, bowing to recent pressure from sponsors and decades of criticism that they are offensive to Native Americans. A new name must still be selected for one of the oldest and most storied teams in the National Football League, and it's unclear how soon that will happen. But for now, arguably the most polarizing name in North...
DEL MAR (CNS) - A 3-year-old filly suffered a fatal injury during a morning workout today at the Del Mar. Lovely Lilia pulled up after the workout at about 5 a.m. and veterinarians said the horse could not be saved and was euthanized, according to Mac McBride, Del Mar's director of media. Lovely Lilia was eased in her final race, a mile turf race at Santa Anita Park June 12, which she led at the halfway point. Lovely Lilia made seven starts, winning twice and finishing second once, earning $37,551. Del Mar made the safety of...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego Loyal SC will resume their inaugural season Saturday by facing Real Monarchs SLC in Sandy, Utah, in the first professional team sporting event played in the United States with fans in attendance since March 11. Fans attending the game at Rio Tinto Stadium will be required to wear masks at all times, except while eating at their seats.

DEL MAR (CNS) - Del Mar will begin its 81st summer meet Friday with no fans in the stands for the first time because of the coronavirus pandemic and safety for people and horses the leading theme.

MICHAEL REZENDES Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Last month, when former Major League All-star Torii Hunter said he'd been called the N-word "a hundred times" at Boston's storied Fenway Park, the Red Sox were quick to back him up with a promise to fight racism. "Torii Hunter's experience is real," the team said in a June 10 Twitter post, adding that there were at least seven incidents as recently as last year where fans used racial slurs. The team promised to do a better job...
SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer Tim Flynn was looking forward to one final year as the mayoral host of training camp for the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, California. So much for that. The pandemic forced the NFL to abandon, at least for this year, the fading but still time-honored tradition of teams traveling to training camp. The league's version of a stay-at-home order will end the latest California run for the Cowboys, stop the 54-year streak for the Pittsburgh Steelers...
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles Dodgers will open the coronavirus-delayed season July 23 against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium, Major League Baseball announced. The scheduled 7:08 p.m. game -- one of two to be played on that date -- will follow a 4:08 p.m. interleague game between the defending World Series champion Washington Nationals and New York Yankees.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham has tested positive for the coronavirus, general manager A.J. Preller announced Friday. ``Tommy Pham has tested positive for the coronavirus,'' Preller told reporters on a Zoom call before the start of the team's first official Summer Camp workout at Petco Park. ``He began the self-isolation process immediately. He is asymptomatic. I've been in contact with him every single day. He feels fine/asymptomatic. As a staff,...
STEPHEN WHYNO AP Sports Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Redskins began a "thorough review" of their name Friday, a significant step toward moving on from what experts and advocates call a "dictionary-defined racial slur." Even though owner Dan Snyder had shown no willingness to change the name since buying the team in 1999, the recent national conversation on race has renewed opposition to the name and prompted sponsors to speak up. With support from the NFL, it may...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The USL Championship soccer league announced Thursday it will resume its 2020 season starting July 11 with local side San Diego Loyal SC facing defending title-holder Real Monarchs SLC at 1 p.m. in Salt Lake City. Launched on June 19, 2019, San Diego Loyal is the newest member of USL Championship and is coached by legendary former Los Angeles Galaxy and United States Men's National Team player Landon Donovan. The league shut down play in March due to...
ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - The 30-year wait is over. Liverpool is champion of England again. Liverpool clinched its first league title since 1990 on Thursday, ending an agonizing title drought without the players even having to take the field. Instead, the Premier League crown was secured when Chelsea beat second-place Manchester City 2-1, a result that means City can no longer catch Liverpool with seven games remaining. For the city of...
DUSAN STOJANOVIC Associated Press BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - Top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic announced Tuesday he and his wife tested positive for the coronavirus after he played in a series of exhibition matches he organized in Serbia and Croatia with zero social distancing amid the pandemic. Raising questions about the full-fledged return of tennis, including the U.S. Open planned for August, Djokovic is the fourth player to come down with COVID-19 after participating...
JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer Federal authorities on Monday confirmed they are investigating the discovery of a noose found in the Talladega Superspeedway garage stall of Bubba Wallace, NASCAR's only Black full-time driver who successfully pushed the stock car series to ban the Confederate flag at its venues earlier this month. U.S. Attorney Jay Town said his office, the FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division were reviewing the situation. "Regardless of...
JAKE SEINER AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Tiz the Law won an unprecedented Belmont Stakes, claiming victory Saturday at the first race of a rejiggered Triple Crown schedule in front of eerily empty grandstands. The 3-year-old colt from upstate New York charged to the lead turning for home and now can set his sights on the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby and Oct. 3 Preakness. All three legs of this year's Triple Crown schedule were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Belmont,...
BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer Every team in Major League Baseball will shut its spring training camp over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, a move that came in the wake of the Philadelphia Phillies announcing Friday five players had tested positive for COVID-19. The closures come while MLB owners and players try to negotiate a deal to begin the season, and raise the possibility the virus outbreak could scuttle all attempts at starting up this year. A person familiar...
HUNTINGTON BEACH (AP) - The Vans U.S. Open of Surfing, a summer competition that draws thousands each year to Southern California's Huntington Beach, has been canceled because of the coronavirus.

RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says there might be no major league games this year after a breakdown in talks between teams and the players' union on how to split up money in a season delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The league also revealed several players on big league rosters have tested positive for COVID-19. Two days after union head Tony Clark declared additional negotiations futile, Manfred reversed his position of...
DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer For more than 70 years, the Confederate flag was a familiar sight at NASCAR races. Through the civil rights era right on through the season opener at Daytona in February, the flag dotted infield campsites and was waved in grandstands by fans young and old. As the nation - and at last, NASCAR -- comes to grips with race relations in the wake of the death of George Floyd, it was time: The flag is no longer welcome in the stock car series. NASCAR banned the flag at its races and all its venues...
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Drew Brees was sharply criticized by fellow high-profile athletes, including some of his own teammates, on Wednesday after the Saints quarterback reiterated his opposition to kneeling during the national anthem. In an interview with Yahoo, Brees was asked to revisit former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick's 2016 protest of police brutality against minorities, in which Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem before games. "I will never agree with anybody...
MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Frank Reich jumped right into research mode when he knew Philip Rivers would hit free agency. The Indianapolis Colts coach studied tapes of Rivers' throws from an uncharacteristically poor 2019 season to compare with those he made earlier in his career. Reich saw no difference. When offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni and tight ends coach Jason Michael concurred with Reich's opinion, general manager Chris Ballard went all in...
DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer Tom Brady delivered the shot of the match that made it easy to forget the rest of his swings. Tiger Woods didn't miss a fairway and earned a small measure of revenge against Phil Mickelson. The PGA Tour is set to return in just over two weeks, and it has a tough act to follow. In the second and final charity match that brought live golf to TV, this exhibition was as entertaining as the real thing. Woods lagged a long birdie putt close enough that his partner, Peyton Manning, didn't have to putt....
TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer The NBA is in talks with The Walt Disney Company on a single-site scenario for a resumption of play in Central Florida in late July, the clearest sign yet that the league believes the season can continue amid the coronavirus pandemic. The National Basketball Players Association is also part of the talks with Disney, the league said Saturday. Games would be held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a massive campus on the Disney property near Orlando. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the...
