After losing on Saturday night in a walk-off heartbreaker, Max Scherzer and the #Dodgers look to even the #NLCS in Game 2 against the Atlanta Braves.

Get live updates from the game at latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The Dodgers were one timely hit, one blast, one crooked number away from withstanding the Atlanta Braves’ best punch Saturday night.

But the mercurial offense didn’t produce for the final five innings.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The wasted chances opened the door for the Atlanta Braves to steal Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, which they did when Austin Riley’s single drove in Ozzie Albies for a walk-off 3-2 victory

Lake Tahoe’s water level has dropped so low that water is no longer flowing into the Truckee River and salmon aren’t expected to spawn in a major tributary this year.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The receding water level, which is driven by climate change & drought, comes as the latest insult to the treasured tourist destination nestled in the Sierra Nevada. Already its waters have been clouded by smoke & ash from multiple wildfires this summer.

Lake Tahoe’s water level is always fluctuating. It is typically lowest in December and January and then increases in the spring as melting snow from nearby mountains flows down.

The business card, tossed w/ expert precision from a motorcycle as it sped away, landed at Park Chui-woo’s feet just as he was nearing the end of his wits.

The brightly colored card advertised quick low-interest loans, especially to small business owners.
latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Maxed out on all other lines of credit, Park, the owner of a small chain of coffee shops dialed, the phone number.

With that call 3 years ago, he entered the underground world of illegal private lending that tempts desperate South Koreans.

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Soon, motorcycle-riding, tatted-up skinheads showed up to talk terms with Park. They dropped off a wad of cash and began coming by his store daily to collect interest, at an annualized rate of about 210%.

The image epitomized an opportunity fumbled, a chance lost, a game blown.

Chris Taylor, sitting on the dirt between second and third base, helmet in hand, head shaking, frozen in failure.

In what should have been yet another strong step in their seemingly preordained journey back to the World Series on Saturday, the Dodgers staggered, stumbled and ended up on their backs while staring up at somebody else’s party.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The opener of the NLCS featured a trademark Dodgers playoff game-winning hit, but this time the bat was swung by Atlanta's Austin Riley, who singled home Ozzie Albies from 2nd base with one out in the ninth to give the Braves a 3-2.

Some 300,000 migrant merchant sailors have been stranded on vessels at sea or in ports around the world. Many are stuck just off the coast of Southern California.

@RonWLATimes reports on their experience: latimes.com/business/story…
Abrorizki Geraldy Aulia is part of the new generation that moves more than 80% of the world’s raw materials, parts & merchandise on commercial cargo fleets. He has already traveled farther by ship than most people ever will.

Still, he feels powerless.
latimes.com/business/story…
Maritime union protections say Aulia should sail no more than 11 months a year on a contract, but the Indonesian native has worked 15 straight months without a break — setting off in summer 2020 without the vaccine he dearly wanted.
