ST. LOUIS (AP) — Justin Wrobleski tossed six scoreless innings to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak.

Wrobleski (5-0) allowed six hits and a walk. Tanner Scott pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save of the season.

Dustin May (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings in his first career start against the Dodgers since they traded him to Boston on July 31, 2025.

St. Louis had won six straight heading into Sunday’s contest.

Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 3 with a walk and was hit by a pitch from Justin Bruihl in the seventh inning. He is 0 for 14 over his last four games, his longest hitless streak since going five straight games without a hit as a member of the Los Angeles Angels from May 24-28, 2022.

Alec Burleson lined a single up the middle off Will Klein in the eighth inning to drive in Jordan Walker for his team-leading 28th RBI.

Freddie Freeman stroked a two-out RBI single up the middle in the fifth inning to put the Dodgers ahead 3-0.

Andy Pages hit an RBI double to left field, and Hyeseong Kim followed with an RBI single to right field in the second inning to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.

Dodgers: RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-2, 2.87 ERA) will start in the opener of a three-game series at Houston, which has not yet named a starter.

Cardinals: RHP Kyle Leahy (3-3, 5.52) will face Milwaukee RHP Chad Patrick (2-1, 2.57) to open a three-game series at Busch Stadium.

Inter Milan seals the Italian league soccer title with 3 rounds to spare

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan sealed the Italian league soccer title with a 2-0 victory over visiting Parma on Sunday.

Inter, which needed only a draw to secure the trophy, moved an unassailable 12 points clear of 2025 champion Napoli with three rounds remaining.

It’s Inter’s 21st Serie A title, trailing only the record 36 held by Juventus. But Inter hadn’t sealed the title before its home fans at the San Siro since the 1989 title — nearly four decades ago.

Marcus Thuram scored just before the break with an angled shot placed just beyond the reach of Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. Then 37-year-old Henrikh Mkhitaryan added another in the 80th after taking a pass from Serie A scoring leader Lautaro Martinez, who came off the bench to mark his return from an injury layoff.

Thuram was born in Parma while his father, Lilian Thuram, played there.

“Since I arrived at Inter, it’s been a team that loves to stay together — on and off the field — and that’s our strength,” Thuram said.

For Cristian Chivu, Inter’s first-year coach, the trophy was secured against the club he coached last season — having helped Parma avoid relegation.

Chivu, who was hired to replace the departed Simone Inzaghi nearly a year ago, played on the Inter team that won a treble under José Mourinho in 2010.

In the running for two trophies this season, Inter will face Lazio in the Italian Cup final in 10 days.

The domestic success has come in sharp contrast to Inter’s ouster from this season’s Champions League playoffs by tiny Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt. Last season, Inter was routed 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.

Still, it’s an improvement from last season’s Serie A when Inter finished one point behind Napoli.

Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella was reminded how he was a leader on the Italy team that failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup.

“That’s football and life. There are difficult moments,” Barella said. “For example, last season we came so close to everything and won nothing. In life you’ve always got to get back up on your feet.”

While Inter was celebrating, AC Milan and Juventus were at risk of losing their Champions League places.

Milan was reduced to 10 men and beaten 2-0 at Sassuolo for its fourth loss in seven matches. Then Juventus drew 1-1 with relegated Hellas Verona.

Third-placed Milan was left only two points ahead of fourth-placed Juventus, which is just three points ahead of fifth-placed Como, which is trying to get into the top four and secure a Champions League spot.

Three rounds remain in the Italian league.

Domenico Berardi scored early on for Sassuolo for his 12th career goal against Milan and Fikayo Tomori was sent off before Armand Lauriente doubled the advantage after the break.

Milan has scored only one goal in its last five matches.

Christian Pulisic, who came on in the second half, extended his goalless streak to a career-high 17 league matches.

Juventus also dropped points at home against Verona but extended its unbeaten run to nine matches.

Kieron Bowie put Verona ahead after intercepting a pass from Juventus defender Gleison Bremer then Dusan Vlahovic equalized for Juventus with a free kick around Verona’s wall for his first goal since October.

Also, Bologna was held 0-0 by Cagliari in a regional derby.
