LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers already had what was quite arguably the best starting rotation in baseball this year. Dustin May’s electric 2022 debut on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium — 476 days since his last Major League start — proved that even the best can get better. In his return from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in May 2021, May baffled Marlins hitters over five scoreless innings of L.A.’s 7-0 victory. May struck out nine — one shy of his career high — while limiting Miami to a walk and one hit, all of which came in the…

By Barry Holbrook: Tyson Fury wasn’t impressed with what he saw tonight with IBF, WBA & WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) defeating Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) in a defensive battle in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The less than a thrill a minute performance by Usyk seems to have boosted Fury’s self-confidence, as he’s now saying he’ll beat both fighters, and he wants the promoters to get their checkbook out to come up with the money for him to come fully out of retirement. Granted, Usyk’s win over Joshua wasn’t the knockdown, drag-out fight that many boxing fans…
