LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin O'Malley, who owned and operated minor league baseball teams in California, was a part-owner of the San Diego Padres for years and a son of former Los Angeles Dodgers president Peter O'Malley, died Tuesday. He was 50.
He died from complications of sepsis while in hospice care in Santa Barbara, the elder O'Malley said.
Kevin O'Malley was in New York on business last fall when he fell ill. He returned to Los Angeles for further care, but his health gradually declined, his father told The Associated Press.
His grandfather, Walter O'Malley, owned the Dodgers from 1944-79 and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as an executive who expanded MLB to the West Coast. Peter O'Malley was president of the Dodgers from 1970-98.
Kevin O'Malley worked in the Dodgers organization at Great Falls, Montana, and Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Florida, in the late 1990s. He was co-founder and owner of Top of the Third Inc., which owned and operated the Stockton Mudville Nine and Visalia Rawhide, minor league teams in Central California.
In 2012, he became a part owner of the Padres along with the Seidler and O’Malley families, who sold the team in April.
“Baseball was important to him,” the elder O'Malley said. “Family came first, but baseball was a close second.”
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kevin O'Malley played baseball at Harvard-Westlake School and the University of Pennsylvania. He earned an MBA from The Wharton School at Penn in 2004.
In 2010, he founded Carmelina Capital Partners, a growth equity firm where he was managing partner.
Besides his father, he is survived by his wife Allison and children Grace, Brendan, Brooke and Margaret, as well as sister Katherine, brother Brian, two nieces and two nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother Annette.

SEATTLE (AP) — Julio Rodriguez had three hits and scored twice, Bryan Woo took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners put together a five-run sixth on Tuesday night to beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3.
Rodriguez and Colt Emerson both had three of Seattle’s 13 hits. Randy Arozarena and Cole Young scored two runs apiece.
Woo (7-6) allowed just four hits and struck out five in 6 1/3 innings. The Angels’ first two runs in their three-run seventh were charged to him after he gave way to reliever Eduard Bazardo. That ended Woo’s streak of home shutout innings at 32 1/3, which stretched over a span of five games dating to May 6 against Atlanta.
Michael Rucker pitched a scoreless eighth for the Mariners, and Andres Munoz set L.A. down in order in the ninth.
The Mariners batted around in the sixth, with their first five hitters reaching base on four hits and one walk. Rodriguez and Josh Naylor both singled, then Arozarena singled to score Rodriguez with the first run and chase Los Angeles starter Jose Soriano (8-5).
Cal Raleigh walked to load the bases, and Young singled to right, scoring Naylor. Arozarena scored on a wild pitch to Emerson. Raleigh and Young came home on Weston Wilson’s single to right.
Los Angeles rallied with three in the seventh, the last two of those scoring on Zach Neto’s single to right.
Seattle answered with three in the bottom of the seventh. Emerson’s single that floated just above the outstretched glove of Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel drove in the first two.
Wade Meckler had two of the Angels’ six hits.
Los Angeles will send RHP Walbert Urena (5-6, 3.14 ERA) to the mound on Thursday against Seattle RHP Bryce Miller (3-2, 1.97 ERA) to wrap up the three-game series. Wednesday will be an unusual midseries off day because of the World Cup round of 32 game between Belgium and Senegal being played right across the street at Lumen Field /Seattle Stadium.
