Game 46, 2022

Posted on by

Dodgers at Diamondbacks, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: FOX

RHP Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.62 ERA) gets the ball for the Dodgers and RHP Merrill Kelly (3-2, 3.49 ERA) gets it for the D-Backs. Gonsolin has already won as many games this season as he’s ever won in a single big league season. Kelly has the idential record so far this season as he had in all of the Covid-shortened year of 2020.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1957 Walter O’Malley and Horace Stoneham are given permission by the National League to negotiate deals with cities on the West Coast, with the proviso that the future location of their respective clubs, the Dodgers and the Giants, be known by October 1. The Brooklyn and New York owners both deny there is any significance to the unanimous vote other than being given an opportunity to explore all the available options for their possible relocation of their clubs.
  • 1969 The day after he becomes a father, Randy Hundley hits a grand slam and a double, driving in five runs in Chicago’s 9-8 victory over San Francisco at Candlestick Park. The eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy named Todd will follow in his dad’s footsteps, becoming a major league catcher, receiving for the Mets, Dodgers, and the Cubs.
  • 1989 With runners on second and third, no outs, and the Mets and Dodgers tied at 3-3 in the 12th inning, home plate umpire Bob Davidson calls a balk against Roger McDowell which scores the winning run in the Chavez Ravine contest. Dave Anderson is waved home when the New York reliever fails to pause and make a discernible stop.
  • 2001 In an 11-inning slugfest with Colorado, LA catcher Paul Lo Duca goes 6-for-6 in the team’s 11-10 victory at Dodger Stadium. The backstop’s five singles and a three-run homer tie a National League record for hits in an extra-inning game.
  • 2011 The game between Los Angeles and Florida continues as fans in a section of the upper deck seats at Dodger Stadium are evacuated due to a small fire in a nearby storage area. With plumes of smoke visible coming from the top level of the ballpark on the first base side, the crowd is informed by the public address announcer that it will not be necessary to evacuate the entire stadium.

Lineups when available.

  1. I guess the Dodgers only needed 23 or 24 outs to win. But wow – that’s a lot of outs on base.

  25. I expect the Snakes to overtake the Gnats in the standings. They have plenty of young talent, and SF has almost none.

  31. Mookie steals second. Seems like Dodgers stole more in April than they have in May. (Which could be completely wrong – but feels true.)

  34. I can’t synch either radio broadcast with the video, so I appear to be stuck with Fox.

  36. In the end, the Reds swat the Gnats again, 3-2, in an especially amusing manner. Catching “prospect” Joey Bart – he of the 55 percent K rate – now appears to be a pinch-running specialist, and gets thrown out at the plate to end the game.

  38. Dodgers (31-14)
    Diamondbacks (23-24)
    SP Tony Gonsolin R
    4-0 1.62 ERA 39IP 37K

    Lineup:
    RF Mookie Betts R
    1B F. Freeman L
    SS Trea Turner R
    C Will Smith R
    DH Edwin Rios L
    3B J. Turner R
    CF C. Bellinger L
    LF Chris Taylor R
    2B Gavin Lux L

  39. In the first at Cincy, old friend Kyle Farmer has dingered off old friend Alex Wood, and the Reds are swatting the Gnats 3-0.
