Football

The final week of Cal's 2015 spring football practices got underway Monday with a workout that saw lots of different players see action during the team's two live team periods.

Inside the Lair: Q&A with Kyle Kragen

As the Cal football team begins its final week of spring ball, there is one Golden Bear who is happy to be back on the field after having to redshirt last season due to recovering from mononucleosis. Senior defensive end Kyle Kragen has worked the rust off and is back in action for the Golden Bears. CalBears.com had a chance to sit down with Kragen and discuss how his return to the field has been thus far.

CalBears.com: How has it been being able to get back out on the field again?

Kyle Kragen: They've been good. I started off pretty rusty. I hadn't practiced full speed in a while. Each week, I've just been trying to get my technique down again and play better.

CB.com: How much time did you miss because of the illness?

KK: All of the 2014 summer workouts, so I came into fall camp without really having done much.

Head Coach Sonny Dykes and Heisman Trophy candidate Jared Goff will chat with Cal fans on the Cal Athletics facebook page on Tuesday and Thursday at 2 pm, respectively.

Major League Baseball

Tyson Ross and Brandon Morrow headline a Padres starting rotation that has been in dominant form to start the season.

They've come from Toronto, Kansas City, Arizona, Oakland, Chicago and Cuba.

But they have come together in San Diego to form the Padres starting pitching staff, a group that early-on is proving to be among the best in the game.

Through the season's first seven games, James Shields, Tyson Ross, Andrew Cashner, Ian Kennedy, Brandon Morrow and Odrisamer Despaigne (who came in for Kennedy when he tweaked a hamstring) have posted a 2.65 ERA with 43 strikeouts in 44 innings.

"The energy on this staff is really good," said Morrow, who threw seven shutout innings in his first start against the Giants on Friday and will start Wednesday against Arizona.
