The Dodgers and Padres are finally face to face, and the National League West is about to get real. Starting Monday night at Petco Park, these two heavyweights open a three-game series with Los Angeles holding just a half-game lead. Both clubs won Sunday, so the margin is razor thin and the intensity is going to be through the roof.
Shifting to the pitch, Gian Piero Gasperini is making history in Rome. The AS Roma manager has become only the second coach in fifty years to win both city derbies in his debut season, knocking off Lazio and keeping his side firmly in the hunt for Champions League football. One more result in Verona tomorrow could seal the deal.
And in the NBA Playoffs, Oklahoma City and San Antonio are set to tip off in Game One of their first-round series. The Thunder come in as heavy favorites, but the Spurs have shown all season they refuse to be counted out. Tip-off details are locked in, and this one has the makings of a genuine battle.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
