SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Lakers coach Luke Walton was ejected with 4:14 left in the first quarter of Monday nights 116-92 loss to the Kings after he shouted at the officials following a non-call.Walton was livid and was restrained by Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson after Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Lakers forward Julius Randle became tangled up and both went to the court. No foul was called on the play, and Walton immediately voiced his displeasure to the officials before being ejected. He could be seen in replays yelling what appeared to be obscenities in the direction of an official.I just felt like I needed to stand up for my guys, Walton said after the game. What happened on the floor wasnt right, and my only concern is our guys in the locker room and our team. If I feel like somethings not right, Im going to stand up for my guys.Walton said he didnt receive an explanation of that specific play from the officials.Like I said, the referees dont matter. The other team doesnt matter, Walton said. Im a huge fan of DeMarcus Cousins game. I thought that it wasnt right what happened out there, so I stood up for my guys, like I will every time.Walton continued, saying of Cousins, I dont care that he fouled us. I just care that they decided not to call a foul on that foul.Lakers assistant Brian Shaw took over for Walton after the ejection.It happens, Cousins said of Waltons being ejected. He was angry. He did what he had to do. Im not mad at it. It helped us out. Im not mad at it.Randle declined to answer questions about being tangled up with Cousins, but Randle praised Walton.Oh, I love Coach, man, Randle said. Coach, thats my guy. He backs me up with everything. He has all of our backs 100 percent. I love Coach. He has our back 100 percent. It makes you want to go out there and bust your butt for him.There were seven technical fouls called in the game, six of them on the Lakers.I just think there was a new ref out there, Lakers guard Nick Young?said. I think we need to crack down, talk to the league, go from there.Walton, 36, is the NBAs youngest head coach and is in his first year leading the Lakers after spending two seasons as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The last time Taijuan Walker faced the Los Angeles Angels, he had one of his worst starts of the season.He made some changes to his mechanics, and on Tuesday night he had one of his best outings -- of his career.Walker pitched a three-hitter for his first career shutout as the Seattle Mariners beat the Angels 8-0 to win their season-high seventh straight.It starts with Taijuan Walker and ends with Taijuan Walker, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. He looked like a guy out there who had a fear of no one.Walker (6-10) was perfect through 5 2/3 innings before Kaleb Cowart hit a grounder to shortstop Ketel Marte, who threw wild to Daniel Vogelbach at first base. Vogelbach couldnt pick the low throw and Cowart reached safely on an error charged to Marte.Kole Calhoun ended Walkers no-hit bid with a leadoff single through the right side in the seventh inning. Only two balls left the infield until Calhouns single. Walker matched a career high with 11 strikeouts -- the fifth time hes reached that mark. It was his first complete game since July 31, 2015.My legs were getting heavy, my stomach was starting to tingle, Walker said. The game was so long, it was taking forever. The offense was going out there every single inning and getting hits and I was just like, `Ugh, this is getting longer. But right after I went out there and gave up the hit I felt really good. I got a chance to go from the stretch and I feel really good going from the stretch.In his last start against Los Angeles on Sept 3, Walker gave up five earned runs in only two-thirds of an inning, his shortest start of the season.

Cruz was a triple away from the cycle when Mike Freeman pinch-hit for him in the ninth.They said, Its going to be hard to get a triple, Cruz said. But they need at bats. Ill let the kid hit.Angels rookie Alex Meyer (0-3) gave up four earned runs and five hits over four innings in his fourth major league appearance.Smiths grand slam, his second this season, came off of reliever Mike Morin with two outs in the sixth. He drove Morins 1-1 off-speed offering over the scoreboard and into the right field stands.The Mariners hit Meyer -- acquired from Minnesota along with Ricky Nolasco at the trade deadline -- hard from the beginning. Cruz launched a massive two-run shot that nearly reached the concourse in left field in the first inning and Leonys Martin scored on sac fly in the second before Aokis home run, making the score 4-0.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: SS Andrelton Simmons remained out of the lineup for the second straight day with a bruised right hand.
