    Cutter Gauthier, Ducks edge depleted Oilers
    ANAHEIM — A year ago, the Ducks facing the Edmonton Oilers signified a track meet in which the Oilers were the sprinters and the Ducks were the track.
    Yet with Monday night’s 3-2 triumph at Honda Center, the Ducks took three of four games in a season series that they legitimately carried against the defending Western Conference champions.
    Though the Ducks remain an eyelash below a .500 points percentage while the Oilers are bound for their sixth straight postseason, they took three o

    FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The Trump administration says the sweeping tariffs it unveiled April 2, then postponed for 90 days, have a simple goal: Force other countries to drop their trade barriers to U.S. goods.
    Yet President Donald Trump’s definition of trade barriers includes a slew of issues well beyond the tariffs other countries impose on the U.S., including some areas not normally associat

    NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is opening a new salvo in his tariff war, targeting films made outside the U.S.

    KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Los Angeles Galaxy defender Maya Yoshida had the only score on Sunday night, unfortunately, it was an own goal that led to a 1-0 victory for Sporting Kansas City — continuing the worst start by a defending champion in league history.
    The Galaxy (0-8-3) are still looking for their first victory 11 matches into the season and even a 3-0-2 record in five previous matchups with Sporting KC (3-7-1) didn’t help.

    ATLANTA — The last team bus left Truist Park for the Dodgers’ hotel at 2:20 a.m. Sunday, after the longest day of the season – a three-hour rain delay followed by a three-hour game that didn’t even start until after 10 o’clock Saturday night.
    Late nights like that often lead to hangovers, and the Dodgers managed just four hits in the first six innings Sunday night, coming up short in a 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

He was the guy who shouldered the load for 79 games, leading the Clippers to a good season, a 50-win season, a better-than-expected season, a fun season! But he’s not that guy.

    Advocates push for mandatory retrofitting of existing homes in fire zones
    For years, fire prevention groups have pushed residents to harden homes in wildfire-prone areas.
    With the frequency and severity of such blazes on the rise, people need to replace old vents, roofs and windows with upgrades that protect their home against a whirlwind of heat and embers during a conflagration, they say.
    Yet limited incentives exist to spur homeowners to take on the expense of such upgrades.
