Sunday morning in Los Angeles comes with four practical themes. First, the weather: a Heat Advisory begins with downtown expected near 94, and a stronger heat wave is building for Tuesday through Friday. Second, traffic: the southbound 405 remains reduced to three lanes through the Sepulveda Pass until early Monday as Caltrans continues pavement work.

Alek Thomas did not need long to make his first Los Angeles contribution. In his Dodgers debut Saturday, Thomas drove in a run as the club beat Pittsburgh 4-3 for its fifth straight victory. Normally, one RBI in a debut would be a pleasant footnote. The timing makes it more significant because outfielder Andy Pages has fractured his hand and is expected to miss at least four weeks.

Kyle Tucker finally broke through at Dodger Stadium Saturday, and the timing could hardly have been better. Tucker entered a key fifth-inning at-bat stuck in an 0-for-26 home slump.

People who missed the first rounds of LA28 Olympic tickets will get another chance in 2027, but the buying process is expected to change. Organizers say the next public release will use first-come, first-served purchasing instead of the earlier draw-registration system. That means preparation will matter: buyers will need to know which sports, dates and price ranges they want before popular sessions disappear.
