It was 18 up and 18 down for the Padres, who only four nights earlier had been no-hit by four Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers in Monterrey, Mexico. And here they were back home, looking totally lost against Hellickson’s curveball and changeup. “Everybody says they don’t think about it, but once you get the fifth, sixth inning, you can’t help but think about it,” Hellickson said after leading the Washington Nationals to a 4-0 win Tuesday night by allowing only two hits while striking out eight in 6 2/3 innings....

Messi has been in irresistible form so far this season for Barca, scoring 11 league goals in seven matches as the Catalan giants have taken control at the top of the table. The 30-year-old provided another timely reminder of his immense ability during the international break, netting a hat-trick as Argentina crucially beat Ecuador 3-1 to avoid an embarrassing failure to qualify for the World Cup. And Filipe Luis accepts he will likely have to play the “butcher” role again to stop Messi when Barca visit the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday, as there is no other way to halt the forward....

Kelechi Iheanacho eventually scored the equaliser 16 minutes from time, but it was Choudhury – who robbed Douglas Luiz in the build-up to the leveller – earning Rodgers’ praise....
