The Los Angeles Dodgers had finished a series in San Diego and were next heading to Dallas (for a series against the Rangers), but ended up having to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles.
Per the LA Times, here are the details:
About 7:15 p.m., United Airlines Flight 2207 departed San Diego International Airport en route to Dallas, where the Dodgers face the Texas Rangers on Monday. But an unspecified
mechanical issue forced the pilot to land in Los Angeles, LAX spokesman Nancy Castles said.The plane, which had 176 passengers and crew onboard, safely landed at LAX about 8:16 p.m., United spokeswoman Mary Ryan said.
