LOS ANGELES Cody Bellinger could use a break. He’ll get one soon, but even next week’s All-Star Break won’t be quite enough for the workhorse rookie. The curse of a breakout year like Bellinger’s is that his spot in the All-Star Game and the Home Run Derby robs him of some much-needed time off. “I think the four days to reset is important for a lot of people,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s what I hear of from players who make All-Star Games: They don’t get essentially an All-Star Break.” Since being promoted April 25, Bellinger has been held out of the starting lineup only three times, including last Thursday’s win over the Diamondbacks. Even then, he was called upon to pinch Continue to Article

LOS ANGELES You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave. Hotter than a guy in a Wookiee suit (it was Star Wars Night), the Dodgers shouldn’t be in any hurry to leave California. They have won 16 of their past 17 games at Dodger Stadium after handing the Kansas City Royals a 4-1 defeat Friday night. The extreme heat warning blanketing Southern California might as well apply to the Dodgers. They haven’t left Southern California since June 18, rolling up a 15-3 record in Anaheim, San Diego and LA in that time. Their record at home this season (37-11) is the best in baseball. The home remedy even worked on Kenta Maeda Friday night. The right-hander allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings Continue to Article

Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy managed to find some humor in being randomly drug-tested 12 times in three months. Eric Thames isn’t the only major leaguer getting drug tested at a ridiculous pace this season. As Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy revealed on Friday, he’s been “randomly” drug tested 12 times already this season. In revealing that information, Duffy also offered up a pretty funny quip to help convey his confusion while reiterating how seemingly nonsensical the process of who’s being tested and when really is.
