Plumbing issues put a damper on the Dodgers' spring training finale Tuesday night.
Their Freeway Series exhibition against the Angels was called after five innings because sewage was pouring onto the field and into the third-base stands near the Dodgers' dugout.

Groundskeepers tried vainly to keep the area dry. Umpires eventually decided to end the game with the Dodgers leading 4-3.

A broken water main was the culprit, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.

“I smelled it,” Andrew Toles said. “It was nasty. I’m not gonna tell you what it really was. That’s messed up. That’s a tragic thing.”

Stadium operations has a day to fix the problem: The Dodgers will open their regular season at home Thursday against the Giants. The Angels, meanwhile, will open on the road . . . in Oakland . . . in the Coliusem . . . where sewage leaks are a common occurrence.
