Dodgers at Giants, 6:45 PM PDT, TV: NBCS BA, SPNLA
RHP Walker Buehler (10-1, 2.31 ERA) goes for the visiting Dodgers and RHP Anthony DeSclafani (10-4, 2.87 ERA) does the same for the Giants.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1991 Expos right-hander Dennis Martinez pitches a perfect game, defeating Los Angeles 2-0 at Dodger Stadium. Ron Hassey becomes the first backstop to ever catch two perfect games, as he also was behind the plate on May 15, 1981 when Indian hurler Len Barker faced 27 batters, beating the Blue Jays, 3-0.
- 2017 Alex Wood won his twelfth game against just one loss, going seven innings while giving up eight hits and four runs to the Giants. The Dodgers came from behind with four runs in the seventh and won 6-4.

NPUT
Belli can’t catch up to the high heat. And the pitchers know it.
Yippee!
Buehler is now 11-1.
Dodgers 8-7 vs San Fran so far this season.
Definately in the Cy Young discussion.
Ballgame!! Whoopie!!
Dodgers win!
Now please don’t lose by 1 run tomorrow. Actually maybe just don’t lose at all.
Woo-HOO!!!
Another quick one please, Mitch.
worried about an 8 run lead?
No. Want to watch an episode of Lupin.
I can’t watch anything in French. In deference to my heritage, I go for the Nordics.
Doc and Mitchy, gettin’ kind of itchy, to leave the SF Giants behind.
A good friend in Kingston, Ontario, knew Zal Yanovsky well. Zal had a restaurant there.
Very cool..
I had hoped to dine at Chez Piggy and meet Zal, but then he died. His wife still owns the restaurant.
Only 57.
Yeah, he was relatively young.
Like Jim Croce. He died young in that plane crash and his wife ended up running a restaurant in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter.
Croce’s son is a better singer than he was. Does a great version of Randy Newman’s “Have You Seen My Baby?”
Didn’t know that. I’ll try to find it.
Any thoughts on who the Dodgers pick up at the deadline? I hope they get one starter, a reliever or two, and another bench piece.
Word is that they are in the Scherzer scrum.
that would be good. 1 starter, 1 reliever and when Betts and Seager return, we should be ok for position players
They had better be. There are other possible pitchers but there is definitely room for another Max on the team.
White pitched well!
and now gets to bat
Awesome outing for Buehler. Happy Birthday Walker.
A lead that’s safe enough for Mitch White?
It had better be.
Nice play there for the out.
Pujols gave Belli a big hug.
Pujols has to be the best hugger in MLB right now.
That’s more like it
¡Despídalo con un beso!
Belli bomb!!!!
Back to hitting above .160!!
It’s a start!
From such humble beginnings, the tiny acorn becomes the mighty oak tree.
Is .160 the official Belli Line?
This year it kinda feels like it.
Sadly.
Buehler is definitely the Dodger starter I feel most confident in/comfortable with this season.
Yep. Not even close.
Price has done a very nice job recently. He just does whatever the Dodgers ask him to do!
Price is a quality pitcher and a quality person.
Yes and yes.
Urias is like – this is usually my run support when I pitch!
I saw his face in the dugout. Bemused.
nice indeed
This is… better.
Max!
The Muncter Mash.
Muncy double!!!
We are finally getting some breaks.
Caught a break there. Dropped the ball.
Never caught it (according to replays).
Looked like he had it for a half a second.
Fair enough.
He should have caught it.
Safe!
McKinney keeps it going!
That will leave a mark.
Pollock is in the groove. He should share some of his hits with Belli.
Or store them up for Oct.
Buehler certainly back in the 7th. If he is really economical maybe make into the 8th as well.
Yes! Nice recovery!
Walker is a pretty cool cucumber. He doesn’t get shook easily.
He gets calmer.
Seems to.
Rats. Tough break for Buehler with that crazy bounce.
C’mon Cody.
I so want him to find his swing.
That would be nice. And helpful.
Fast ball at the knees. Take a seat, meat.
Swung at ball 4.
Who did?
Buehler
On a 1-2 count?
Meant to say at a ball. My bad.
Squeeze.
No eyes here, but it sounded as if Cody hit that pretty well.
He did. Very close.
Game less interesting now.
Through four, Ferris has still not exceeded Disco’s pitch count.
But only slightly that is.
Too easy.
Might have to start shading JT more to right field soon. Lol.
Having your starting pitcher bat first two innings in a row is certainly more good news than bad.
Even Gnatfans admit that Disco sucks. https://twitter.com/McCoveyChron/status/1420575561454284801?s=20
Did the Poseur hurt himself again?
Disappointing that Disco’s departing.
But the Dodgers are Staying Alive.
Nice.
Thanks
Into the bullpen!
Amazing inning. Like old times.
I’m loving Disco’s pitch count.
40 plus pitches more than Buehler (but has gotten 2 more outs than Buehler).
AJ!
Another Belli flop..
Disco is finding his groove! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b934eb8d4d0785941ecc00e1dd41ee26d9660f846aa1c552cdbe3bc8952606e4.png
Beautiful at bat by Will.
Singling them to death! And now – triple!!!!
DP pretty please.
Thank you!
Wow. McKinney. What a heck of a pick up. BaZinga
Just back from my son’s flag football games. Did McKinney make a strong defensive play?
No. He mad his usual out. I was being sarcastic. Hence the BaZinga.
Gotcha!
Oakland kicking the crap out of the Puds. Yay.
Tough way to lose a game. The error was bad but the offense was horrific.
Per LA Times, the Dodgers “have committed 63 errors on the season, third-most in the league, have allowed a major league-high 57 unearned runs, are 13-18 in one-run games and 1-10 in extra innings.”
Really missing Quique.
That was a big mistake – letting him go.
He wasn’t going to have a full-time job with the Dodgers, which he does have with the Sawx. Still, his versatility is impossible to replace.
There is a lineup. https://twitter.com/DodgerYard/status/1420507601939439617?s=20
