Game 151, 2021

Dodgers at Rockies, 5:40 PM PDT, TV: ATT SportsNet RM, SPNLA

The Dodgers’ LHP Julio Urías (18-3, 2.99 ERA) goes for his 19th win of the season at Coors Field. He’ll face the Rockies’ RHP Antonio Senzatela (4-9, 4.06 ERA).

On this date in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1934 “If I’da known he was gonna throw one, I’da thrown one, too.” – Dizzy Dean, after his brother threw a no-hitter in the nightcap of a double-header. In the second game of a doubleheader at Ebbets Field, 22 year-old Cardinal hurler Paul Dean, called Daffy by his teammates, becomes the fifth rookie to throw a no-hitter, beating the Dodgers, 3-0. His brother Dizzy held Brooklyn hitless until the eighth inning in the opener, settling for a two-hitter in the team’s 13-0 blanking of the Bums.
  • 1952 In front of the second largest crowd this season, with many of the 8,822 fans rooting for the Dodgers, the Braves play their final home game in Boston. Brooklyn catcher Roy Campanella hits the last home run at Braves Field in an 8-2 victory over the Milwaukee-bound club.
  • 1969 In a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the tenth inning at Candlestick Park, LA’s Pete Mikkelsen quickly retires the first two Giants batters, but then is ordered to intentionally walk Willie McCovey, who is 4-for-4 in the game. The Dodger reliever proceeds to issue free passes to the next two hitters unintentionally, loading the bases, and then loses the game when shortstop Maury Wills boots pinch-hitter Jim Davenport’s ground ball.

Lineup when available.

  1. Two singles and a Tatis strikeout in between, and then Machado grounds into a double play. Game over, Giants win. Dodgers remain one-half game back.

  2. I wish I hadn’t read that stuff about Treinen and his conspiracy theories. It makes me trust him less as a pitcher, which makes no sense but there it is.

  3. Musgrove just got out of a very tight spot. 1-0 Gnats. Bases loaded, one out. Got Crawford to ground into a DP.

  4. After a very slow start with the Nats (gnot the Gnats), old friend Keibert Ruiz has figured it out. He’s 11 for his last 22.
