Shohei Ohtani lines into triple play and later homers, but Angels rally to beat Dodgers 7-6 in 10

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani lined into a triple play in the sixth inning and hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth, but the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Jo Adell's walkoff single in the 10th on Tuesday night. The defending World Series champion Dodgers fell into a first-place tie with San Diego atop the NL West after their third consecutive loss. Ohtani put the Dodgers up 6-5 when he homered in his fourth consecutive game, crushing a cutter from Kenley Jansen for his NL-leading 43rd. He also rebounded smartly after being involved inthe eighth triple play in Angels history. Shortstop Zach Neto caught Ohtani's liner up the middle, stepped on second to get Miguel Rojas and threw to first, where Nolan Schanuel tagged out Dalton Rushing. The Angels rallied in a drama-filled ninth. Luis Rengifo singled and scored on Schanuel's sacrifice fly before Ben Casparius (7-5) struck out Taylor Ward with the bases loaded. After Connor Brogdon (3-1) pitched a clean 10th for the Angels, Christian Moore moved Ward to third with a bunt single. Adell ended it with a high chopper that got over the Dodgers' drawn-in infield. Rushing hit his second homer for the Dodgers, who have lost all five meetings with the Angels this season. They're also sharing the NL West lead for the first time since June 13 afterSan Diego won its fourth straightat San Francisco. Ward hit his 28th homer and drove in two runs for the Angels. Key moment Ohtani's blast had a 114.8-mph exit velocity. He moved past Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the NL homers lead after hitting five in six games. Ohtani also has an 11-game hitting streak. Key stat Jansen hadn't allowed an earned run in 21 consecutive appearances, the longest streak of his stellar career. Up next Ohtani (0-0, 2.37 ERA) pitches at Angel Stadium on Wednesday, facing Kyle Hendricks (6-8, 4.63). ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/MLB

McDonald's Japan's Pokemon card Happy Meals promotion comes to an unhappy end

McDonald's Japan's Pokemon card Happy Meals promotion comes to an unhappy end

TOKYO (AP) — Fast-food chain McDonald's Japan has canceled a Happy Meal campaign that came with coveted Pokemon cards, apologizing after resellers rushed to buy the meals and then discarded the food, leaving trash outside stores. The meals, called Happy Sets in Japan, were meant for children. They came with a toy, such as a tiny plastic Pikachu, and a Pokemon card. They sold out in a day, according to Japanese media reports. Mounds of wasted food were found near the stores. "We do not believe in abandoning and discarding food. This situation goes against our longtime philosophy that we have cherished as a restaurant to 'offer a fun dining experience for children and families.' We sincerely accept that our preparations had not been adequate," the company said in a statement Monday. McDonald's said it was working on ways to prevent such a situation from happening again, such as limiting the number of meals each person can buy and ending online orders. It said it might deny service to customers who fail to abide by the rules. "We vow to return to the basics of what lies behind the Happy Set, which is about helping to bring smiles to families so we can contribute to the wholesome development of the hearts and bodies of children, who are our future," the company said. Collecting Pokemon cards is popular among adults and children in many places, with the most popular cards selling for $1,000 or more. Unusually large crowds were seen flocking to McDonald's stores when the meals with Pokemon cards went on sale. The cards were later being resold for up to tens of thousands of yen (hundreds of dollars) online. McDonald's has been selling Happy Meals for more than 40 years. In Japan, they usually sell for 510 yen ($3.40). ___ Yuri Kageyama is on Threads:https://www.threads.com/@yurikageyama

Rondale Moore's comeback bid with Vikings ends painfully with season-ending knee injury

Rondale Moore's comeback bid with Vikings ends painfully with season-ending knee injury

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rondale Moore, the fifth-year wide receiver and return specialist who was making a comeback attempt with theMinnesota Vikings, will miss a second consecutive season with a new team because of a knee injury. The Vikings announced Tuesday that testing on Moore's left knee confirmed a season-ending injury, without specifying the diagnosis. Moore, who spent his first three years in theNFLwith the Arizona Cardinals, dislocated his right knee during training campwith the Atlanta Falcons in 2024and never played for them. Moore was hurt while returning a punt Saturday in Minnesota's first exhibition game, tackled by Houston Texans linebacker Jamal Hill as he approached the sideline after a 2-yard return. Moore clearly sensed the seriousness of the injury, once he was helped onto a cart slamming his hand down so hard out of frustration the sound was audible throughout the stadium. Afterward, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell described the situation as "heartbreaking" after seeing Moore's comeback cut painfully short. "I make a life out of trying to leave others better than I found them, and in that situation, there's really nothing to do or nothing I can do, which is the worst feeling as a head coach," O'Connell said. "So you just console them and make sure that he knows he's not going to be alone." The Vikings were hopeful Moore could use his speed and experience to be an effective fourth wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor, but his absence and athree-game suspension for Addisonwill test their depth at the start of the season. Third-round draft pick Tai Felton and two players who were on the practice squad last year, Lucky Jackson and Jeshaun Jones, will have their opportunities increase. Moore was a second-round draft pick out of Purdue in 2021 by the Cardinals, for whom he played 39 games in three seasons plus one in the playoffs. He missed nine games to injuries in 2022. Moore had 1,201 receiving yards and three touchdowns plus 249 rushing yards and one score over three years with the Cardinals, serving as their primary returner for kickoffs and punts as a rookie before injuries pushed him away from that role. He was traded to the Falcons in 2024, became a free agent and signed a one-year contract with the Vikings this spring. The Vikings placed Moore on injured reserve and also made two other roster moves Tuesday, waiving fourth-year backup linebacker Brian Asamoah and waiving undrafted rookie center Zeke Correll with an injury designation. Asamoah was a third-round draft pick in 2022 out of Oklahoma who'd become one of the team's most reliable special teams players. ___ AP NFL:https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Astros All-Star closer Josh Hader placed on 15-day injured list with shoulder strain

Astros All-Star closer Josh Hader placed on 15-day injured list with shoulder strain

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros All-Star closer Josh Hader was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left shoulder. The move, retroactive to Monday, comes after the left-hander reported shoulder discomfort before Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. "It's (a) punch in the gut," manager Joe Espada said. "But ... he's seeing doctors right now. We're getting more tests done and hopefully this is not going to be a long-term thing." Espada added that they don't yet know the severity of the injury and should know more after additional testing. Espada said he would not name a closer to fill in while Hader is out, but would use his relievers based on matchups. "I feel good about all those guys," Espada said. Hader, who is in his second season in Houston, is 6-2 with a 2.05 ERA and is tied for third in the majors with 28 saves in 48 appearances this season. To take his spot on the roster, the AL West-leading Astros reinstated right-hander Shawn Dubin from the 15-day injured list. They also designated right-hander Hector Neris for assignment and recalled left-hander Colton Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
