There was a bit of redemption at Saturday night’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross series race at Angel Stadium. Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey of Belle Plaine, Minn., won his first 450cc class race last week in Phoenix. That was with top riders James Stewart Jr. and Chad Reed already out of the race.

In a less-than-auspicious start to a World Cup year, the U.S. men’s national soccer team was defeated, 3-1, by Honduras on Saturday night in front of a raucous and very much pro-Honduran crowd of 18,626 at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
