Game 64, 2022

Posted on by

Guardians at Dodgers, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox

RHP Cal Quantrill (4-3, 3.38 ERA) goes for the Guardians and LHP Julio Urías (3-6, 2.80 ERA) goes for the Dodgers. Quantrill was sick before his last start, but he recovered well enough. “His stomach settled down in the second or third inning and he did as well. The A’s second batter, Ramon Laureano, touched him for a solo shot to the Home Run Porch in left field. It was the only run Quantrill surrendered in his six innings. He allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four.” Urías “allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out 10 in six innings, but he took the loss Sunday versus the Giants. Despite allowing only eight runs in his last 23.1 innings, Urias has now gone four starts without a win.” Last year he got plenty of run support; this year he’s gotten very little.

Not the Dodgers’ best baserunning moment:

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1938 After accepting GM Larry MacPhail’s offer to coach first base, Babe Ruth wears a Dodger uniform for the first time as a coach and takes batting practice with the team. The ‘Bambino’ will quit at the end of the season, ending his ties with major league baseball.
  • 1940 Dodger Ducky Medwick, acquired in a trade less than a week ago, is beaned by former Cardinal teammate Bob Bowman and needs to be carried off the field on a stretcher. Brooklyn president Lee MacPhail accuses the St. Louis pitcher of deliberately hitting Medwick in the head because the two had quarreled in a hotel elevator prior to the game.
  • 1996 Brant Brown hits the first three home runs of his career on the same day. The 25 year-old rookie goes deep as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning off Chan Ho Park in a 9-6 loss to the Dodgers in the opener of a Wrigley Field twin bill, but his two additional round-trippers contribute to Chicago’s 7-4 victory in the nightcap.
  • 2014 With the only batter reaching base as a result of a throwing error by shortstop Hanley Ramirez in the seventh inning, Clayton Kershaw no-hit the Rockies at Dodger Stadium, striking out a career-high 15 batters. The left-hander’s teammate Josh Beckett also threw a no-hitter 24 days ago, making it the shortest span between no-hitters by a team since the Reds’ Johnny Vander Meer accomplished it in consecutive starts, four days apart, in 1938.

  2. The Padres pitching coach is named Niebla. This startled until I recalled that the hero of “Around the World in 80 Days” is Fogg.

  4. Perhaps we will break out of the funk we have been in for the month of June.

    • It’s really a dramatic
      stance! I love it. (Up there with the Jackie steal statue!)

  30. I am at the game. Most relaxing contest in quite a while. Koufax statue is special.

      • Enjoying myself tremendously. Trying to figure out how to attach a photo. Happy Father’s Day tomorrow to all who observe. I will be driving home, listening to the game on SiriusXM.

  36. CT3 with another bang, bang (bang he catches the ball, bang his body takes a blow)

  38. Recalling Cal’s dad being the first reliever up back in the day for the Dodgers, followed by Mota and then closed by Gagne.

  48. Is there a more loathsome scammer than Michael Milken? (Wait, don’t answer that).
