Dodgers' Betts unseats Yankees' Judge for MLB's top jersey
Dodgers star Mookie Betts supplanted Yankees slugger Aaron Judge on Friday for baseball's top-selling jersey in his first year on the West Coast. Judge's pinstriped No. 99 had been the most popular uniform in the majors for three straight years, but he's been bumped by his former AL East rival, according to data released by Major League Baseball. Betts was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Dodgers in February, and Los Angeles signed the 2018 AL MVP to a $365 million, 12-year deal that runs through the 2032 season.

Dodgers 5 HRs, bounce Angels 9-5; Astros get last AL spot
Justin Turner homered twice and AJ Pollock, Will Smith and Edwin Rios also went deep as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the Angels 9-5 on Friday to open the first-ever season-closing Freeway Series. The loss mathematically eliminated the Angels from postseason contention in Joe Maddon's first season as manager, and gave the final AL playoff spot to the Houston Astros.

Astros clinch final AL playoff spot despite loss to Rangers
Ryan Pressly had no interest in waiting to see if the Astros would get the help they needed to clinch the last spot in the expanded American League playoffs after the Houston reliever couldn't finish it himself when he was a strike away. The Los Angeles Dodgers pitched in anyway by beating the Angels to give Houston a franchise-record fourth straight trip to the postseason, and a shot at redemption after the offseason sign-stealing scandal that tarnished a 2017 World Series championship. Joey Gallo's run-scoring fielder's choice in the 10th inning completed a 5-4 victory for Texas as the Rangers rallied from a run down in each of the last two innings Friday night, starting with Ronald Guzman's two-out, two-strike solo homer off Pressly in the ninth.

Padres optimistic on Lamet's injury, split DH with Giants
The San Diego Padres are still very much counting on a healthy Dinelson Lamet making his playoff start next week. The big right-hander gave them a scare when he reported biceps tightness and made an early exit Friday night - but, for now, Lamet will throw in a couple of days with expectations of pitching Wednesday at Petco Park in San Diego's first postseason berth in 14 years. ''Everybody is pretty optimistic right now,'' manager Jayce Tingler said.

Column: No asterisk needed for most unusual baseball season
Defying all skepticism that this was nothing more than a watered-down money grab with little chance of reaching the finish line (yep, I'm raising my hand), Major League Baseball has pulled off its two-month sprint of a regular season amid the coronavirus pandemic. With the playoffs set to begin next week, the 60-game campaign of 2020 certainly deserves a place right alongside those 162-game, six-month-long marathons of past years. ''They're probably feeling like they would if they had played 162 games, really, with the mental drain and everything else that was on 'em,'' said Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker, who guided his team to a third straight NL East title.
