Padres at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports San Diego, SPNLA
RHP Joe Musgrove (8-1, 2.12 ERA) goes for the Padres while RHP Mitch White (1-1, 4.25 ERA) does the same for the Dodgers. Musgrove took his first loss of the year in his last start, giving up six runs on seven hits in six innings against the Phillies. White has started half of his ten appearances this season and has gotten through the fifth inning twice.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1962 Sandy Koufax becomes the first Dodger southpaw to throw a no-hitter since Nap Rucker accomplished the feat in 1908 when he keeps the expansion Mets hitless in the team’s 5-0 victory in Los Angeles. The 26 year-old left-hander, en route to fanning 13, strikes out the first three batters he faces – Richie Ashburn, Rod Kanehl, and Felix Mantilla, on nine pitches to start the game with an immaculate inning.
- 1973 With an 8-7 extra-inning loss to L.A. at Riverfront Stadium, the Reds finish the day 11 games behind the first-place Dodgers. Led by the eventual National League MVP Pete Rose, who will win the batting title with a .338 average, Cincinnati will go on a 60-26 tear to capture the Western Division by 3.5 games.
- 1985 Pedro Guerrero ties a major league record by hitting 15 home runs in June when he goes deep off Bruce Sutter in his final at bat of the month. The eighth inning two-run round-tripper will prove to be the difference in the Dodgers’ 4-3 victory over Atlanta at Chavez Ravine.
- 1997 Rangers’ hurler Bobby Witt becomes the first American League pitcher to hit a home run in a regular-season game in nearly 25 years. His round-tripper off Ismael Valdes helps Texas to beat the Dodgers in interleague action, 3-2.
- 2013 “When it comes to compassion, the Rays are batting .000.” – DELCIANNA WINDERS, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Captive Animal Law Enforcement at the PETA Foundation.
Miguel Cabrera, joining Luis Gonzalez of the Dodgers, becomes only the second player to hit a homer into the 10,000-gallon touch tank at Tropicana Field. The Tigers slugger’s round-tripper draws the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who, in a written letter to the Rays’ organization, requests the team to allow the 30 or more captive cownose rays be returned to their natural habitat because the animals are subject to harassment, loud crowds, and at the risk of being injured by baseballs.

The opposite of the Coiiseum’s left field.
The right fielder could probably cover enough ground in a wheelchair.
Lux misplays one, resulting in a run that should never have scored.
Nobody seems to be getting good reads.
Casual spectators, until now.

Dodgers whitewash the mustard off Padre uniforms.
Best reliever ever 😉
Snort!
Kismet.
Woo-HOO!!!!! Sweet K!
That’s the pitch Bellinger got rung up on last night.
Hi all. Looks like I’ve missed quite a game!
Mitch did well, but didn’t look promising. Musgrove was just rolling along, until he wasn’t.
CT3 really bailed him out.
Why not promising?
Good question.
In terms of scoring runs. The way Musgrove was pitching with low pitch count could have gone 9.
Ah, I thought you meant Mitch didn’t look promising.
The Justin Turner show.
Yeah that was nice to see.
Yes it is/was.
Runs would be nice, though the bottom of the Pads lineup for the 9th.
De acuerdo.
Looking like Kimbrel will get the bottom of the order in the 9th.
Whew!!
Excellent futuring!
OK, Voit, that’s enough!
Sombrero for KT3.
Still a major contributor to the Dodgers’ lead.
Musgrove’s last batter?
JTHR2
90 mph cutter right down the middle.
Woot!!
Muncy having much better ABs.
Nice easy inning for Phillips.
We need a Dodger Dong.
SD lineup lacks a little.
Outhitting Dodgers 6-3.
home runs
And imagine, they just got Machado back tonight.
And imagine, they just got Machado back tonight.
Brain freeze by JT.
Back to losing the challenges…
Runs please.
Nice job Mitch.
He was very good. Lotsa soft contact, and tough when he had to be (with help from CT3).
very nice
Nice smack Max.
Pop up, not so much.
I fear Max is out.
Great to have Orel back in the booth.
He’s knowledgeable, but can be a bit too homer-ish.
Hard for an ex Blue Guy not to be.
I like my broadcasters to be neutral like Vin.
was he?
Vin always gave credit where credit was due – even to the opposition. He set the standard for quality announcing.
JTHR.
Just your routine 9-2 DP…
Heckuva throw and tag by CT3 and Will Smith.
Nice toss CT3.
Nice tag Willie.
Musgrove needs to match his previous outing v. the Fillies.
