RIO DE JANEIRO -- Looking for an Olympic venue? The IOC has acknowledged that the Rio Olympics are missing part of the so-called look that characterizes the games.Its a very unfortunate situation where the look could not be delivered on time, Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi said Sunday.Organizing committee officials admitted just days before the games opened that only 15 percent of the signage had been installed at Olympic venues. Signs give the Olympics their unique branding and help fans get around.There were many other things that were supposed to be installed, and they could not, said Dubi, who said Ukrainian suppliers had failed to deliver at the last minute, forcing organizers to improvise.Signage was absent along part of Sundays womens marathon route, relying on famous backdrops like Sugar Loaf Mountain to remind television viewers that the race was being run in Rio de Janeiro. Rios famous Sambadrome was largely barren of decorations, except very close to the marathons finish line.Rio organizers have made deep budget cuts hitting all food service, transportation, and volunteers. The cuts were supposed to affect only behind-the-scenes aspects, but have crept into other areas.We understand that the look of the games needs to be improved in some venues, especially in the Olympic stadium, Rio spokesman Mario Andrada said. We understand also that in some areas of the marathon we could have had a little bit more.Yiannis Exarchos, chief executive officer of the Olympic Broadcasting Services, has called the look of the games a disappointment. He said many venues were not what we expected or hoped for and lacked colorful designs, logos and graphics.OBS, the broadcasting arm of the International Olympic Committee, delivers the live video and sound from all the venues to television rights-holders around the world.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .

LOS ANGELES -- After taking two of three from the Boston Red Sox over the weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers will try to keep the good times flowing when they host the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game set beginning Monday.Dodgers 19-year-old rookie Julio Urias (1-2, 4.98 ERA) will face Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (3-4, 4.77 ERA) in the series opener.Urias, who has gone back and forth from Triple-A Oklahoma City to Los Angeles, appeared in relief for the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs in three innings in a loss to the Colorado Rockies. Urias hasnt won a start since beating the Milwaukee Brewers on June 19.He has never opposed the Phillies.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was tight-lipped when asked if Urias would be on a pitch count.Hes going to go as long as I think he can go, Roberts said.Eflin, who will be facing the Dodgers for the first time, is 3-2 with a 4.28 ERA in his past seven starts with 22 strikeouts and 11 walks. However, he yielded a total of 13 runs in 10 innings in his past two outings, a road loss to the Miami Marlins on July 27 and a no-decision at home against the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 2.The Phillies (52-61) won two of three in a weekend series at San Diego. In a 6-5 win over the Padres on Sunday, the Phillies turned a triple play, the first one recorded at Petco Park.The big play to that game was the triple play, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. Were leading by one, two on, no one out ... and just like that, were out of the inning.Phillies reliever Edubray Ramos opened the bottom of the seventh by issuing back-to-back walks to Derek Norris and Jose Rondon. That brought up rookie Jabari Blash.TThe option there was the bunt, but I had the swing sign, Blash said.ddddddddddddHe swung and hit a one-hopper to Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco, who stepped on the bag to force Norris at third. Franco threw to second baseman Cesar Hernandez, who forced Rondon. Hernandez completed the play with a relay to first baseman Tommy Joseph to beat Blash to the bag.I tried to get down the line as quick as I could, Blash said.Rookie Rob Segedin was the headliner in Los Angeles 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Segedin had four RBI, the first Dodger to ever do so in his major league debut.Justin Turner, Adrian Gonzalez and Enrique Hernandez hit home runs for the Dodgers, who closed within a game of the National League West-leading Giants. Gonzalez collected his 300th career homer.Its pretty cool to take a step back and enjoy it for a few hours and go back at it again tomorrow, said Gonzalez, who became the seventh active player to reach 300 home runs and 400 doubles. Alex Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, Carlos Beltran, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz and Miguel Cabrera are the others.The Dodgers (62-49) will remain without Rich Hill through the Phillies series. The left-hander was bumped from starting Sunday because of another blister developing on his left middle finger. He is now scheduled to start Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.Hill, who is on the 15-day disabled list because of the first blister, has yet to make his initial start with the Dodgers since being obtained in a trade with the Oakland As on Aug. 1.
