Dodgers set franchise attendance record, draw 4 million again in 2026

• September 25, 2026

LOS ANGELES — With their final home game of the season on Thursday night, the Dodgers surpassed the 4 million mark in attendance for the second time in franchise history and set a new franchise attendance record.

The Dodgers wrapped up the 2026 regular season with a total attendance figure of 4,034,219 for their 81 games at Dodger Stadium, with an average of 49,805 fans per game. The previous high was set last season with 4,012,470.

This season, the Dodgers announced 40 crowds of 50,000 or more, including 14 sellouts, and they have had at least 40,000 for 215 consecutive games, another franchise record.

Since the first time it happened in 1978, the Dodgers have surpassed 3 million in annual attendance 38 times, including every season not affected by the pandemic since 2012 – as well as every other season but one since 2001. This year, the Dodgers reached 2 million fans in their 40th home game and 3 million in their 60th home game, the same marks as 2025.

With three games left in San Francisco this weekend, the Dodgers also lead MLB in road attendance with 2,820,413, averaging 36,159 at opposing ballparks in 2026.

The MLB record for single-season home attendance is 4,483,350, set by the Colorado Rockies during their inaugural season in 1993, when they played at Mile High Stadium in Denver. The Dodgers are the first team to draw more than 4 million fans in back-to-back seasons since the New York Yankees did so in four consecutive seasons from 2005-2008.

Bijan Robinson runs roughshod as Falcons trample Packers

• September 25, 2026

By STEVE MEGARGEE AP Sports Writer

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Bijan Robinson rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons capitalized on the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and trounced the punchless Green Bay Packers, 35-14, on Thursday night.

Atlanta (1-2) erased an early 7-0 deficit by scoring 27 straight points to take control amid a chorus of boos at Lambeau Field. The Falcons outrushed the Packers 242 yards to 17.

Green Bay (1-2) lost a home opener for the first time since falling 30-22 to the San Francisco 49ers in 2012. The Packers had won 13 consecutive home openers from 2013-25 to share the NFL record with the Miami Dolphins, who also won 13 in a row from 1976-88.

Penix went 18 of 25 for 256 yards with one touchdown and an interception in his first action since tearing the ACL in his left knee during a loss to Carolina on Nov. 16. Atlanta (1-2) had struggled to produce any offense whatsoever with Cooper Rush starting at quarterback the first two weeks of the season.

That wasn’t a problem Thursday.

Robinson and Drake London became the first teammates to each compile at least 150 yards from scrimmage against the Packers at Lambeau Field. London caught nine passes for 194 yards.

Green Bay’s Jordan Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson combined for 17 yards on eight carries.

Love was working behind an offensive line missing left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, who tore his patellar tendon Sunday and will miss the rest of the season. Banks was dealing with a toe injury.

Jager Burton, a rookie fifth-round draft pick from Kentucky, made his first career start at left guard, and 2025 second-round selection Anthony Belton started at right tackle.

The lack of discipline that hindered Green Bay in its first two games cropped up again Thursday.

Green Bay led 7-0 and had forced an apparent third-and-11 incompletion late in the first quarter when Brenton Cox Jr. was called for roughing the passer. Robinson delivered a 55-yard carry on the next play to set up his own 3-yard touchdown run.

The Packers had committed an NFL-high 26 penalties through the first two weeks of the season.

Robinson long run allowed Atlanta to take a snap inside an opponent’s 20-yard line for the first time this season. Atlanta had been the first team since the 2008 Rams not to run any plays in the red zone through the first two weeks of a season.

Atlanta dominated the rest of the first half and led 17-7 at the break.

Nick Folk put Atlanta ahead by hitting a 44-yard field goal with 4:48 left in the second quarter. After Atlanta’s Zach Harrison blocked Trey Smack’s 47-yard field-goal attempt, Penix threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hooper on third-and-goal with 59 seconds left in the half.

Green Bay wasted a red-zone opportunity on its first drive of the second half when Love couldn’t connect with Christian Watson in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 7. Atlanta extended the lead to 24-7 on its next possession, as Brian Robinson’s 7-yard touchdown run capped a 10-play, 92-yard drive.

Folk added a 31-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter before Love threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Golden with 8:18 remaining. Bijan Robinson capped the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run.

INJURIES

Falcons: Cornerback A.J. Terrell (groin) didn’t play after getting placed on injured reserve this week.

Packers: Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was evaluated for a concussion in the second half. Guard Jacob Monk hurt his quadriceps late in the fourth quarter.

Real Housewives of Orange County: Carmella takes on Vicki

• September 25, 2026

As Vicki Gunvalson tries to wriggle out of the tight spot she finds herself in on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” on Thursday, Sept. 24, she violates the Third Commandment of Housewifery: Thou shalt not lie if the trash thy talked was talked on camera.

Carmella Garcia is the new housewife this season, a position that puts her in the natural line of fire for Vicki, who never met a new housewife she liked.

And unlike Jenn Pedranti, whom Vicki still considers a new housewife even though this is Jenn’s fourth season on the show and Vicki only this year was invited to return, Carmella is all too happy to bite back.

Vicki has criticized Carmella throughout the first dozen episodes of the season, forgetting her name or calling her by the wrong one, criticizing everything from the food in her pantry to the absence of a big-screen TV in her home. But it’s what Vicki says about Carmella’s parenting that brings things to a boil this week.

Imagine that our housewives are actually middle schoolers, and what comes next makes a lot more sense:

Shannon Storms Beador told Gina Kirschenheiter that Vicki said Carmella’s boyfriend Danny is actually raising Carmella’s four kids. Gina never heard gossip that hot that she didn’t share, so she tells Shannon to her face that she’s going to tell Carmella to her face what Vicki said.

Shannon looks worried, like she might not be invited to Vicki’s next sleepover at her house, or houses, given that Vicki has one in Orange County, one in La Quinta, and one in Cabo San Lucas.

Shannon throws a luau party for the other housewives and the boys they’re going steady with. And there, before the first round of umbrella-adorned cocktail glasses are emptied, Gina tells Carmella what’s up.

“I hope she has some reputable life insurance because I’m about to dropkick an OG,” Carmella says to the camera, delivering a one-two punch to Vicki, who is very proud of her insurance business and who fancies herself “the OG of the OC” as the last cast member standing from the first season of the franchise.

“Gina just told me that [Vicki] said you raise my kids,” Carmella whisper-shouts to Danny. Then Tamra Judge helpfully tells the whole table about it.

“That’s actually not the truth,” Vicki says. “[Danny] said he’s in their lives. I did not say he raised them. That’s a lie.”

Heather Dubrow’s husband Terry, Gina’s fiancé Travis, Jenn’s fiancé Ryan, and Tamra’s husband Eddie simultaneously push back their chairs and head to the bar.

“Perfect time to leave, right?” Terry says.

“Shannon was there, did she say he’s raising the kids?” Heather asks, dragging, if not entirely throwing, Shannon under the bus.

“I’m gonna be honest with you,” Shannon replies, looking like she’s really not sure that’s the best idea. “Yes.”

Cue Vicki for the kind of eye-roll new housewives only wish they could someday master.

“Don’t put words in my mouth,” she says. “You guys take things and twist it. They’re both raising the kids.”

And then, she literally says: “Rewind the tape.”

Oh, Vicki. No. No.

The screen flickers in that way we all remember when we were being kind and rewinding. Then it begins to play.

“It works for them because Danny’s there raising the kids,” Vicki says in the videotaped flashback, which is followed by Shannon doing a full eye-body roll of disbelief that Vicki just said what she said.

At some point in all this, Jenn politely notes that Vicki is actually a new girl this season, having returned to the show after being fired from it a few years back.

“I’m not new,” she angrily replies. “It’s 21 years ago I started this franchise. So don’t do that.”

Carmella, who’s tougher than most of the new housewives of recent seasons, looks Vicki dead in the eye.

“Everything has an expiration,” she says, and as Vicki fumes, the other housewives hoot and holler like they’re watching a fight on the playground during lunch in junior high.

Angels rally to get a victory for Grayson Rodriguez in his final start

• September 25, 2026

SEATTLE — Grayson Rodriguez ended his first Angels season with a victory.

Rodriguez gave up four runs in five innings of the Angels’ 6-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.

The Angels (61-98) need to win two of their last three games to avoid what would be the first 100-loss season in franchise history.

This one started with Rodriguez allowing three runs in the second, but after that he pitched better and the offense came to life. The bottom three hitters in the order – Josh Lowe, Christian Moore and Bryce Teodosio – combined for five hits and five RBIs. Moore drove in three, including a go-ahead, two-run double in the sixth.

Moore’s hit came just in time for Rodriguez, who had finished his 20th start of the season with a 6.02 ERA. He pitched 98⅔ innings, striking out 85.

It ended a season that Rodriguez began with questions because he’d been hurt since July 2024. The Angels took a flier on him with a trade because of the upside he showed with the Baltimore Orioles before he got hurt.

Rodriguez had turned 26 days before the trade, and he was not due to become a free agent for four more years, so the Angels had plenty of time to get value from him if he could bounce back.

Although the Angels never said it publicly, it was clear early that their plan all along was to use this season as an extended rehab assignment to get him on solid footing for 2027.

Rodriguez was on the injured list twice, once out of spring training and once in the middle of the season, and he continued throwing both times, which suggested it was more a case of workload management that serious injury.

Rodriguez got better throughout the season, posting a 4.37 ERA in his last 11 starts. In seven of those, he allowed three runs or fewer.

Rodriguez has shown good enough stuff for most of the season, but he’s run into problems with his command.

That’s exactly what happened in the three-run second inning on Thursday. After a leadoff walk to Cal Raleigh, Rodriguez threw a fastball over the middle to Julio Rodríguez, who hit a two-run homer. Rodriguez gave up two more hits in the inning on fastballs over the middle.

He settled down for the next couple of innings, before giving up another run in the fifth. That one could have been avoided if second Moore had not misplayed what should have been a routine double play.

Moore made up for that with his bat. His bloop single in the first drove in the first run of the game.

In the fourth, he struck out on a ball in the dirt, but he reached base because Raleigh, the Seattle catcher, threw ball into right field. That set the stage for two runs.

Teodosio drove in an insurance run in the eighth, which was surprisingly enough for an Angels bullpen that has struggled all year.

Left-hander Sammy Peralta worked three scoreless innings in relief of Rodriguez. Ryan Watson then pitched the ninth to record the save and secure the Angels’ first win in Seattle in their past 10 games there.

Here’s why it can take a long time to extinguish a lithium battery fire

• September 25, 2026

Lithium-ion battery fires can continue generating heat and reignite even after flames and smoke have disappeared.

So while temperatures inside two fire-damaged lithium-ion battery storage units at a Metropolitan Water District facility had stabilized by Thursday afternoon, hundreds of nearby residents remained under evacuation orders as crews worked to make the batteries safe.

Firefighters must cool the batteries enough to keep heat from triggering additional cells while determining when the systems are stable enough to safely approach, de-energize and eventually dismantle and remove them.

A lithium-ion cell can enter thermal runaway, a self-sustaining reaction that rapidly releases heat and energy, said Jon M. Williams, CEO of Viridi, a battery energy storage company.

The larger problem occurs when the heat triggers surrounding cells, a process known as propagation.

“The one cell is the size of a double-A battery sometimes, but it’s the 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 cells next to it that it chain-reacts into,” Williams said. “So there’s thermal runaway, which is an individual cell, and then there’s propagation.”

At the La Verne facility, firefighters have repeatedly poured water onto the damaged battery systems, then stopped the streams and monitored temperatures to determine whether the units could remain stable without continuous cooling.

On Wednesday, temperatures rose again after crews stopped the water. One section of the unit that initially caught fire Tuesday climbed to about 300 degrees, while the adjacent unit also experienced a temperature increase, prompting firefighters to resume cooling.

By Thursday afternoon, crews had stopped the water for about three hours. The temperature in the second unit rose to about 150 degrees but stabilized, allowing specialists to approach the batteries and begin the process of de-energizing them, La Verne Fire Chief Brandon Coatney said.

Water is particularly effective on lithium-ion battery fires because its role extends beyond extinguishing visible flames, Williams said.

“It’s really not the water putting the fire out,” he said. “It’s the water absorbing the heat and transferring that heat away from the fire.”

The challenge is removing enough heat from the entire battery system, including cells firefighters cannot immediately reach.

“You really have to get enough water around it that it almost acts like a radiator,” Williams said. “It continues to pull the heat away until you get it to a stable point.”

Judy Jeevarajan, vice president and distinguished scientific advisor at UL Research Institutes, has worked in battery safety for more than 25 years and previously led battery safety and advanced technology work at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

Jeevarajan said firefighters need to cool the cells themselves, rather than simply the exterior of the system. If cells remain hot, that heat can continue spreading and trigger additional thermal runaway.

“The heat can linger and reignite days, even weeks later,” Jeevarajan said. “All cells must be brought to room temperature.”

Lithium-ion cells and larger battery systems typically incorporate safeguards, including electronic monitoring and vents designed to release built-up gases, Williams said.

At the cell level, systems can be designed to interrupt electrical faults and vent gases if a cell begins overheating. Larger battery arrays also can include ventilation and other measures intended to manage a failure.

But once a cell enters thermal runaway, the rapid release of heat and energy can overwhelm those safeguards, Williams said.

“The challenge is simply that there is a tremendous amount of energy in those arrays,” he said.

That stored energy is one reason firefighters cannot necessarily treat the incident like a conventional structure fire once the visible flames are gone.

In a remote location, allowing a lithium-ion battery to burn and consume its remaining energy can sometimes be an option, Coatney said. He said Wednesday that firefighters could take that approach if the La Verne batteries were “in the middle of nowhere.”

But the Metropolitan facility is surrounded by neighborhoods, and officials have said an uncontrolled fire could produce smoke and hazardous vapors that could travel into surrounding areas.

Instead, firefighters have worked to control the heat while monitoring the systems until specialists can safely approach them.

Coatney said the first unit was largely consumed by the original fire, leaving melted components behind, but officials believe some energy could still be stored in the system.

Once the batteries are de-energized and no longer producing concerning levels of heat or hazardous vapors, officials have said they can be dismantled and transported to a hazardous waste facility for disposal.

The cause of Tuesday’s fire remains under investigation.

The two battery storage systems were installed within the past 18 months and placed into service in June, Metropolitan officials said.

Williams said battery safety technology increasingly focuses not only on detecting a failing cell and shutting down a system but also on preventing heat from a failing cell from spreading to neighboring cells.

“We should be able to have batteries, and we should be able to have safe batteries,” Williams said.

Mt. SAC asked to host four events in 2028 Olympic Trials

• September 25, 2026

Mt. San Antonio College, the site of world record-setting track and field performances for more than 60 years, has been asked by USA Track & Field to host the 2028 U.S. Olympic Trials for the men’s and women’s 10,000-meter runs and the decathlon and heptathlon, the Southern California News Group has learned.

The Olympic Trials events will be held at Hilmer Lodge Stadium on the Walnut campus on May 20-21, 2028.

While there is no contract between the college and track’s national governing body, an agreement is expected to be reached in the coming weeks if not days.

“They’ve requested we host four events and we’re determining if it’s practical for us,” said Jill Dolan, Mt. SAC director of public affairs.

“We are still working out the details but are looking forward to sharing more information soon about this important event on the journey to LA 2028,” USATF spokesman Jay Holder said in an email.

SCNG has also learned that LA28 will hold a meet at the Coliseum sometime in the early summer of 2028 as a test event for the 2028 Olympic Games.

Eugene was awarded the 2028 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials on August 17. But the June 17-22 Eugene meet, with a reduced six-day competition format, is just three weeks before the Olympic Games track competition, 10 fewer days than the window between the 2024 Trials in Eugene and the opening day of track and field at the Paris Olympic Games.

Because of concerns with the reduced window between the Eugene Trials and the Olympics, USA Track & Field officials opted to move the 10,000s and multi-event competitions to an earlier date “to allow additional recovery time before the Games.”

The men’s 10,000 should feature a pair of Olympic medal contenders, former Newbury Park High School phenom Nico Young, and Grant Fisher, a bronze medalist in both the 10,000 and 5,000 at the 2024 Paris Games. The heptathlon is expected to be headlined by Anna Hall, who last September became the first American to win the World Championships heptathlon in 32 years, and should also feature Worlds bronze medalist Taliyah Brooks. Former University of Georgia standout Kyle Garland, the 2025 Worlds bronze medalist, leads the list of decathlon Trials contenders.

The decision to hold the Trials events at Hilmer Lodge Stadium comes eight years after USATF stunned Mt. SAC officials and American track and field in May 2018 by pulling the 2020 Olympic Trials from the school just nine months after awarding U.S. track’s premier event to Mt. SAC.

USATF selected Mt. SAC to host the 2020 Trials in June 2017 over Eugene and Sacramento against the backdrop of concerns over the funding of the renovation of Eugene’s Hayward Field needed to hold the 2021 World Championships. A month earlier, billionaire Phil Knight, the Nike co-founder and former Oregon miler, had pulled out of the Hayward renovation project. At the time, Mt. SAC was in the midst of an $87 million renovation of Hilmer Lodge Stadium.

“The board, and especially our active athletes, were clear in their desire to take the Olympic Trials back to Los Angeles,” said Steve Miller, USATF board chairman, in announcing Mt. SAC’s selection. “Mt. SAC has long been one of the top meets in the country, from an athlete performance perspective as well as from an organizational perspective.”

In April 2018, Knight recommitted to an updated plan to rebuild Hayward Field overseen by the former sports agent Howard Slusher, a longtime Knight confidant.

A month later, the USATF pulled the Trials from Mt. SAC and reopened the bidding process, contending that two lawsuits regarding the stadium renovation filed by citizen groups against the college had created “delays on planning for a successful 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.”

The 2020 Trials were awarded to Eugene three months later. The Hilmer Lodge Stadium renovation was completed in March 2020, three months ahead of the completion of the $270 million Hayward project, which was funded primarily by Knight.

The USATF move to pull the 2020 Trials from Mt. SAC came weeks after Walnut’s city attorney signed a stipulation on lifting a preliminary injunction that was preventing grading on a renovation project and a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a citizen group’s bid for a preliminary injunction that would have prevented the college from using taxpayer funds on a stadium renovation project. In issuing her temporary ruling denying the United Walnut Taxpayers request for the injunction, Judge Holly E. Kendig said that group was “not likely to prevail” at trial.

Hilmer Lodge Stadium’s place in American track history is perhaps behind only the Coliseum and Hayward Field. The venue and the Mt. SAC Relays, the world’s largest track meet, are the last pillar remaining from a golden era when Los Angeles and California were the center of the track and field universe and meets such as the Coliseum Relays and Compton Invitational were every bit as influential and record-shattering as Zurich’s Weltklasse or Brussels’ Memorial Van Damme are today.

Twenty-one world records have been set at Mt. SAC, including in the decathlon. Taiwan’s C.K. Yang, the UCLA standout, became the first man to break the 8,000-point barrier in the decathlon, finishing with 8,010 at Mt. SAC on April 28, 1963. Yang’s score is also the first mark to crack the 9,000-point standard under the current scoring system.

Seven world records were broken or tied at Hilmer Lodge on a single night in August 1960. In a pre-Olympic meet for the U.S. team on its way to Rome, five world records were broken, two more equaled. The highlight that night was Ralph Boston, a 21-year-old Tennessee State student competing with stitches in his leg after a spike wound, long jumping 26-11¼ to break Jesse Owens’ 25-year-old world record of 26-8¼.

“This is the fastest runway I have ever competed on,” said Boston, who went on to win the Olympic gold medal in Rome.

Boston isn’t the only athlete to experience a Hilmer Lodge Olympic springboard effect. Athletes competing in the 1984 Mt. SAC Relays went on to win 35 medals at the Olympic Games later that summer in Los Angeles.

Dodgers’ Dalton Rushing to get brief audition for postseason spot

• September 25, 2026

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers will activate Dalton Rushing on Friday before their final regular-season series, giving the left-handed power hitter at least a few more days and a handful of at-bats to unleash his swing.

The Dodgers are not ruling out a possible spot on a playoff roster, but as of now, they are just focused on giving Rushing the chance to take a few swings in San Francisco in a sign of respect.

“At the most it would be three pinch-hit at-bats, so just conduct at-bats and see what you got,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Just the circumstances of his situation, it’s just tough to just be hurt, come back, then be hurt again, and then take three pinch-hit at-bats to potentially then say, ‘Hey, you’re on the roster.’

“What he’s done for us this season certainly deserves some (playoff) consideration. That’s kind of giving him the respect and thoughtfulness of what he’s done for us.”

Rushing understands the situation and is fully on board with whatever decision is made.

His season was put in jeopardy when he went on the injured list in early August with an elbow injury that was diagnosed as a small UCL tear with a forearm flexor strain.

Determined to return as both a hitter and a catcher, Rushing worked at both sides of his game and returned on Sept. 1. But the continued throwing work outside of games led to a setback and he went back on the IL less than a week later.

“The at-bat’s really are the only side that I can truly help them in,” Rushing said Thursday. “Even then, it’s just a pinch-hit opportunity and no defense included, so I know that ties their hands up a little bit. But yeah, I’m excited.”

Without much time to make an impact, and the Dodgers also having the option of using left-handed-hitting rookie Josue De Paula on the playoff roster, Rushing is well aware of what he is up against. The club even has the option of using the lefty hitting Hyeseong Kim in the playoffs for his defense and speed.

“No hard feelings on either end,” Rushing said about getting a chance to play in the playoffs. “Obviously you want to play baseball. You feel healthy again to an extent. You feel healthy swinging a bat, so yeah, I want to get back soon.”

The next challenge is determining the extent of his elbow injury. Rushing is swinging pain-free after a platelet-rich plasma injection, but figuring out when he can throw again remains in question.

He is determined to rehab the injury, knowing that some kind of surgical procedure might be needed.

“I think as soon as we get into the offseason, that’s decision time,” Rushing said. “Progressing the way that I’m progressing right now, I’m very optimistic it is going to be totally fine and just think it was a lot of workload increase very quickly. I think that’s what sparked it. Once I got the shot, it felt really, really good.”

Roberts did not say what the full roster move will be on Friday.

VIEW FROM THE TOP

Shohei Ohtani was back in the leadoff spot on Thursday after batting second in his return from the IL on Wednesday.

While his turn as a No. 2 hitter came because the San Diego Padres had left-hander Robbie Ray on the mound, Roberts has not said if batting second against a lefty will be a regular feature of the lineup.

“I’m kind of toying with it clearly,” Roberts said. “But I’m not sure exactly whether he’s going to stick in the one or rotate him depending on the pitcher.”

Ohtani went 1 for 4 with a walk on Wednesday, but the comfort level he showed at the plate pleased Roberts.

“I hope that’s a sign of things to come,” Roberts said. “Taking the first slider from Robbie Ray for a ball, (that) got him into a good count, whereas the last couple weeks he was just hair-on-fire swinging and chasing. It’s a hard way to make a living that way, right? I thought (Wednesday) the patience was really good. I hope that’s more to come.”

CATCHING ON FAST

After starting the first two games of the series against the Padres, catcher Will Smith gave way to backup Hunter Feduccia on Thursday but was available off the bench.

Smith is also set to start two of the three games in San Francisco over the weekend before settling into an everyday role in the playoffs.

In the last five games Smith started, he was batting .421 (8 for 19) with three home runs and five RBIs. Since returning from neck inflammation on Sept. 1, he is batting .255 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 19 games.
