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.

NPUT
Gnats tie it up. 4-4.
Now up 5-4.
5-5 in the 8th.
Machado homers again! 3-1 Pads.
3-1.
Yeah. Conflated a few games.
Machado just tied it up! 1-1.
¡Miércoles del martes!
¡Miércoles doble!
The Padres are 2-8 in their last ten games. Can’t rely much on them for help.
I am hopeful about tomorrow. No reason to be, but I am.
May the force be with you.
🙂
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.
So completely irritating.
I thought it was one game behind.
Might be. Dunno for sure.
*Pads lose. BALCO Flaxseed Oil scores the winning run on three bloops.
Why couldn’t Manny homer again
6-5 Giants, bottom of the 9th.
I am in Albany, NY. going to Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame tomorrow. Great win tonight!
It is 12:20 Wednesday morning here after a long day of flying, but no complaints.
Woo-HOO!!!!
Brewster!
I will be pacing my office.
Pacing the entire house!
Both teams with nine hits.
Go Brusdar go!
Somehow Pads cling to a one run lead.
We needed at least two.
We’ll see.
It’s Coors.
Rats!
Okay Mookie! Bring Catman in!
Tio Albert! RBI!
Breathe out…
And the gnats sneaking back into their game.
Out of respect, we must capitalize “Gnats.”
why?
It’s a proper noun.
Uggh
Kenley for the… stop?
Oh man. What a throw by their catcher. A bullet off a lucky carom.
Reluctant yes on both counts.
Lux looks SO much better!
Are we really going to squander a potential gnats loss?
Phooey! Darn you Blackmun.
Homer by Pham, Pads lead 4-1.
Now we need to do our part
Dumb flare single.
Badly timed by Seager.
K’d him!
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.
It makes it harder to root for him.
I know. And we need him to do well.
It’s hard when he puts the team at risk.
We need Kelly to bear down.
Why pull Julio at 73 pitches? Saving his arm?
He’s gone far more this year than ever before, so possibly.
Poor Gavin getting schooled big time out there.
That was not an easy play.
Argh.
Enough with the doubles!
Musgrove just got out of a very tight spot. 1-0 Gnats. Bases loaded, one out. Got Crawford to ground into a DP.
Max double!!!
Gavin took an awkward route there. Good effort but terrible execution.
Demonstrates his inexperience.
Yes. Big outfield as well.
Very true. I actually like Coors, though, because it’s not a cookie-cutter ballpark. Also, when I go to a Dodger game there, I have a free place to stay with my cousin,.
I like it as well.
At the old Mile High Stadium, I saw Móndesi make one of the greatest throws ever to throw out a runner at the plate from deep right.
Wow. Sounds amazing. I do love those powerful outfield throws.
Móndesi was one of the best.
Bellinger on the IL, Raley called up to replace him.
Very nice AB by Raley. Pollock will be back on Thursday.
Tie game!
¡Julito!
Sweeeet!
¡Dulce!
In a typical pitchers’ duel at Coors, Julito needs to bear down.
We need hits and runs.
Julito highly efficient so far, but Dodgers need to get him some runs.
This is an interesting observation. https://twitter.com/themunson/status/1440478085120331793?s=20
Bellinger’s having a lost season. https://twitter.com/SportsNetLA/status/1440451106815942660?s=20
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.
Is Treinen putting the Dodgers at risk? https://www.sfgate.com/athletics-column/article/Athletics-Dodgers-pitcher-Treinen-conspiracies-16473910.php
Idjit.
He’s channeling Alex Wood. https://twitter.com/JohnSheaHey/status/1439612702922473476?s=20
Hard to believe this.
Extremely discouraging.
