Dodgers at Colorado Rockies (tonight, 6 p.m., Prime; Saturday, 5 p.m. Prime; Sunday, noon, Channel 9). Vin Scully will be in the broadcast booth in Denver for this three-game series against the Rockies, who were swept at Dodger Stadium last weekend.

Baltimore Orioles at Angels (tonight, 7 p.m., Channel 13; Saturday, 12:45 p.m., Channel 11; Sunday, 12:30 p.m., FSNW). For the second week in a row, the Angels' Saturday game is on Fox. The Orioles have cooled off after a hot start.
Boxing, Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes (Saturday, 7 p.m. HBO). Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Emanuel Steward will be at ringside for the first fight at the Home Depot Center's soccer stadium.

Track and field, USC at UCLA (Saturday, 1 p.m. Prime). The meet between the crosstown rivals was once a seminal event in Los Angeles -- newspapers would even publish a dope sheet. Dwight Stones, Ato Boldon, Tom Feuer and Lindsay Soto will report from Drake Stadium.
A side note on Soto: She will be working for NBC at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in an assignment to be announced.
PGA Tour Wachovia Championship (today, noon, the Golf Channel; Saturday and Sunday, noon, Channel 2).
