Angel City FC and San Diego Wave FC play to a scoreless draw
LOS ANGELES — The early stages of the Angel City FC-San Diego Wave FC rivalry has proven to be difficult to call, like a tightly-contested election race.
Entering the first meeting of the 2024 season on Thursday night, each team had three wins and two draws.
In front of 19,103 at BMO Stadium, two of the league’s less-than-lethal offenses battled to a scoreless draw in a match that saved its best nervous moments for the late stages. The draw leaves Angel City with a 1-2-1 record at home.
Just before the end of the nine minutes of stoppage time, San Diego nearly snatched the three points. Off a free kick, Emily Van Edmond’s header from near the penalty spot hit the crossbar and the rebound came to Alex Morgan and her header was swatted away by Angel City goalkeeper DiDi Haračić.
Haračić was credited with five saves for the night.
“Story of our season,” San Diego coach Casey Stoney said. “I thought we created a lot, still bitterly disappointed to walk away with a point. Our best chances didn’t hit the target.”
Angel City (3-5-2, 11 points) almost found a game-winning goal early in stoppage time. Alyssa Thompson made a darting run through the middle and laid it off to her right to M.A. Vignola. Vignola’s shot across the goal was kicked away by San Diego goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan.
“The goal was to keep it out of the back of the net,” Haračić said. “The entire team showed a lot of grit to get a point. It shows the depth we have on this team. We missed (injured) Sarah (Gorden), she’s a big piece of our team, but at the end of the day, I’m confident in whoever steps on the field.”
The game was Angel City’s first without vice captain and starting center back Gorden, who suffered an ankle injury last week.
This was the third shutout that Haračić and Angel City have recorded this season, the last coming against the North Carolina Courage (April 21).
That moment gave Angel City some life as it earned three consecutive corner kicks. Neither one put San Diego (3-4-3, 12 points) under any serious pressure.
The game was scoreless at halftime, which probably should have been expected, considering how much both teams have struggled offensively this season. San Diego had just nine goals through its first nine games, while Angel City had scored 11 through its first nine.
The teams will meet twice more this season. The second regular-season meeting is Aug. 24 in San Diego. Three weeks before that, they will meet in the NWSL/Liga MX Summer Cup on Aug. 1 at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium.
With the upcoming international break, Angel City will be off until June 8 against NJ/NY Gotham FC.

Padres Rise in National MLB Power Rankings Despite Middling Season
The San Diego Padres are playing middling baseball.
Following their 6-4 extra innings win on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds, the Padres sit at 27-26, one game above .500. The Padres have been hovering around .500 seemingly all season, and haven’t gotten too high or too low.
Despite their average season, the Padres are showing signs of life, especially with their run differential of plus-16. That is one of the many reasons the team actually rose in a recent National MLB Power Rankings on Newsweek.
The Padres rose just outside the top 10 at No. 12, one spot ahead of the defending champion Texas Rangers.
The Padres have gotten everything they could have asked for and more from Luis Arraez, who was acquired in early May in a surprising trade with the Miami Marlins. Since joining San Diego, Arraez is slashing .419/.449/.514 with an incredible OPS of .963.
Arraez’s role got much more important with the recent injury to All-Star infielder Xander Bogaerts, who’s been playing second base this season. Bogaerts has a fracture in his shoulder, and will be out indefinitely.
The Padres are in the midst of a 12-8 month of May, and are 6.5 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. They’ve won back-to-back series against the Atlanta Braves and Reds, and will look to continue that over the weekend against the New York Yankees.

Bad Break For Bogaerts Hurts San Diego’s Bid For First Flag Since 1998
San Diego’s bid for its first pennant since 1998 took a major hit when Xander Bogaerts broke his shoulder during a dive in the infield this week.
Bogaerts, whose adjusted payroll salary is listed by Spotrac at $25,454,545, is the highest-paid player on the Padres.
Now the team will have to play without him for at least two months, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune.
His spot will probably be taken by recently-acquired Luis Arraez, a two-time batting champion who had been serving as designated hitter because his defense at second base is undependable.
Officially, the roster spot occupied by Bogaerts went to David Peralta, a 36-year-old outfielder most recently with the Cubs. Pitcher Luis Patino transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Bogaerts on the 10-day list.
Even before the Bogaerts injury, which came while trying to field a hard grounder from Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr., the Padres faced a difficult if not impossible path to a division title in the National League West.
With a 26-26 record entering play Friday, the team is seven games behind the front-running Dodgers and barely hanging on to a wild-card spot in the post-season tournament that includes six teams per league.
First medical reports indicate Bogaerts won’t need surgery but will require considerable time for the shoulder to heal. More tests are planned but a return before late summer is unlikely, team sources said.
The initial imaging was negative but subsequent tests revealed a fracture.
The Padres had hoped Bogaerts would boost his atypical .219 batting average – 66 points below his 2023 mark of .285. He is a .289 lifetime hitter.
A four-time All-Star and four-time .300 hitter with the Boston Red Sox before signing with San Diego as a free agent, Bogaerts shifted from shortstop to second base this season. His power seemingly evaporated at the same time.
The 6-2, 180-pound native of Aruba had personal peaks of 33 home runs and 117 runs batted in for the Red Sox in 2019 but had only four home runs in 200 plate appearances this year.
He joined the Padres during the baseball winter meetings on Dec. 8, 2022, when he signed an 11-year contract for $280 million, according to ESPN.
The deal surprised the baseball world because San Diego already had established shortstops in Fernando Tatís, Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim.
Tatís moved to right field to make room in the infield for Bogaerts. The Padres, an expansion team that began play in 1969, are the oldest team that has never won a World Series. They lost twice, in 1984 and 1998, to the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees, respectively.
Bogaerts brought World Series experience from Boston, where he won two world championship rings, but so far, that hasn’t helped.
