From Jack Harris: At the start of the fifth inning Monday night, the Yankee Stadium scoreboard implored a quiet crowd in the Bronx.
The subdued 49,368 in attendance hardly reacted.
As he’d done so many times before this time of year, Walker Buehler had already extinguished any belief.
For much of this season — his first back from a second career Tommy John surgery — Buehler looked nothing like his old self. His once-overpowering fastball was getting crushed by opponents. His secondary stuff didn’t have the same life. His mechanics were so out of whack that, during a month-long stint on the injured list in the summer, he went to a private facility in Florida in search of any shred of consistency.

What was supposed to be a final showcase before a long-awaited free agency, instead devolved into a frustrating six-month grind.
October, however, has been a different story. And on Monday night, it culminated in what could be a poetic finish.
In a 4-2 Dodgers win that gave them a three-games-to-none lead in the World Series, Buehler delivered a vintage October gem to put them on the doorstep of a championship.

LAKERS
From Dan Woike: Before his first regular season game as the Lakers head coach, JJ Redick made a prediction.
“It’s going to drive me crazy if we lose,” he said. “I will tell you that.”
It took a week for the Lakers to get to see what that looked like.
Redick, in his postgame news conference, took accountability for the Lakers’ 14-point second quarter and for the hesitation in double-teaming Kevin Durant, two key factors, he said, in his team’s 109-105 loss to the Suns Monday night.
“He’s pissed,” Anthony Davis said of his new coach.
Postgame, Redick was visibly agitated when talking about the Lakers’ offense in the second quarter, their worst of the young season.
“We should never have a 14-point quarter,” he said after. “So that’s on me as well. Part of that is me. I gotta make sure we’re running good offense. I felt like it was a little random. We got stalled out. We talked about it at halftime. For us to be a high-level offense, we gotta move bodies and we gotta move the ball. They gotta screen. They just kinda took us out of what we were doing initially, and we were great in the second half. We executed great in the second half.
“It’s just that second quarter really hurt us.”

RAMS
From Gary Klein: The NFL trade deadline is a week away.
Coach Sean McVay last week all but extinguished buzz that the Rams will deal star receiver Cooper Kupp — especially with the Rams on a two-game win streak and positioned to possibly win the wide-open NFC West.
But on Nov. 5, the Rams still could be in the market as a buyer or seller.
McVay confirmed Monday that veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White and his representatives have been given permission to seek opportunities elsewhere.

The Rams signed White, 29, with the belief that the former All-Pro could rebound from Achilles surgery and help them in some role this season. White appeared to recover faster than expected and, with the Rams’ secondary hit by injuries during training camp, he started the first four games.
