Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1890 On Labor Day at Brooklyn’s Washington Park, the Bridegrooms, later to be known as the Dodgers, win all three games against Pittsburgh in the first tripleheader ever played. The home team sweeps the visiting Alleghenys, who will be renamed the Pirates next season, 10-9, 3-2, and 8-4.
- 1953 The Cardinals tie a major league mark, hitting five homers in a 12-5 loss to Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. The solo shots hit by Stan Musial, Harry Elliot, Rip Repulski, and Steve Bilko (2), all off starter Preacher Roe, aren’t enough to offset the Dodgers’ 17-hit attack, which includes six doubles but no round-trippers.
- 1969 At Dodger Stadium, Willie Davis ties the franchise record by hitting in 29 consecutive games with his second-inning single in LA’s 10-6 victory over New York. The mark was established by Zack Wheat in 1916.
Lineups when available.
Kersh is back.

NPUT
The good news from last night is that we beat ourselves. The bad news is that, we beat ourselves..
First back-to-back losses since July 25-26 vs. Washington.
That’s remarkable.
Taylor: 32 Ks in 69 ABs since returning.
Unacceptable..
Now CT3 I could see sitting for a few games.
Embarrassing effort by our boys today. Excluding Kersh. These guys (Mets) are going to be tough in the playoffs.
So are the Dodgers.
Tiresome….
No, the Dodgers are not tiresome.
Coulda been much worse. He was missing the zone by a lot. It wasn’t as if the Mutts were laying off close pitches.
Not an auspicious beginning, looking a little rusty.
Gonsolin and Graterol going for MRIs. Could both be lost for the rest of the season. Hoping for the best.
Well that’s not good!
So, Pepiot finishes up the four-game sweep of the Yanquis.
Next game tomorrow evening at 7:10 PM.
It’s too early for doomerism.
Fewer things go right in a loss and more things go right in a win.
Wise.
I borrowed that from Confucius
More like Elmer Fudd.
I get the two mixed up
Can’t go wrong there…John Madden used to say that winning is the best deodorant. We played stinky today. I think we’ll smell better after tomorrow night’s game.
Mets holding home court.
We need at least two this inning.
Really not appreciating this home plate ump’s GameDay strike zone. Maybe it’s better live.
It’s not.
Or not.
Could use a DP right about now.
103 mph fast ball. Yikes.

When it goes bad, it goes bad.
Might be the year’s ugliest inning.
For a team that is 90-39, we’ve had a few lately. I am more concerned about Gonsolin’s MRI.
Dodgers need to work on the fundamentals.
No consequences for poor play with Roberts.
What in the world does that mean?
He doesn’t bench guys when they screw up.
So, you’re saying he should show up his players on the field? That would be great for morale on a team with baseball’s best record by far.
Not on the field . He can have a talk with them and sit them the next game or two..
Mookie? Really?
Lux
Both.
In truth, Dodger fans have had precious little to complain about this season, and benching players for mistakes would be to limit in-game options. Even if it’s out of the public eye, it would be a negative.
Negative reinforcement has proven to be effective.
That’s not what he was saying.
Coulda fooled me.
It did.
Touche
Ambiguous at best.
Okay that’s on Caleb.
Should not have come to that AB.
Now Caleb’s all freaked out.
WTH?
Ump’s fault.
The fly ball that fell?
No eyes so I didn’t see the actual play just watched it unfold like clockwork on Gameday. What did I miss?
A popup either Lux or Mookie could’ve caught, and both gave up on it.
Oh good grief.
The two strikes called balls so Caleb threw one almost down the middle that he could hit.
Ump cost us that for sure. So frustrating.
You have got to be kidding me. Good grief.
UMP!!!
Taylor’s ABs to HR ratio this year is 40 to 1.
Taylor this year for you is my AJ Pollack way back when. But remember how AJ rediscovered his offense?
Yep, KT3 swinging for the fence on 3-2 count.
As always, regardless of the count, how many outs there are and whether or not there are any baserunners.
RALLY TIME!! Clap…Clap
One bad play and we are behind.
Ex-Gnat gets lucky.
Dodgers need to win to get back to .700.
So much for Clayton’s great outing.
It does nothing to detract from a fine outing. The Dodgers needed to see he was healthy and effective, and he delivered.
I didn’t say it detracted from his great outing. He’s just not going to get a W.
It’s most important that he round back into form.
I know that.
I doubt he’s worried much about the W.
Why do you always feel you have to get the last word in? It’s tiresome.
I would never presume to do so.
Predictable response.
Could there be an epic collapse in the Bronx? https://twitter.com/jonweisman/status/1565204227705544704?s=20&t=InqLSRQv_il1VBhmSQx8Aw
Lux still prone to mental lapses.
Lux misplayed that one into a hit.
Cost us a run.
Good job Kersh.

Playoff baseball in September.
More significant for Mutts than it is for the Dodgers.
Why is that?
Mets still trying to outrun the Braves for first.
I hadn’t considered that. I guess their lead has shrank quite a bit. I haven’t been paying much attintion to that race.
The NL East is close. The NL West is not.
Thanks.
Ump needs glasses suddenly.
JT maintains his 1.000 batting average in September. (Still SSS).
He really scorched that one.
JT hit .314 in August and is hitting 1.000 in September (SSS).
What’s the delay?
Lights flickering on in the middle of an inning.
Thanks. No eyes. Traveling.
That’s more like it for Clayton.
The first inning was just rookie nerves.
Ha!
That was more like it.
Did Ebel send Thompson or did he run through a stop sign?
Unclear. Crew says both he and Lux arrived at same time at third, and there may have been confusion.
Thanks. It would have been unusual to clear the bases on a single.
I was surprised Taylor didn’t end up on second.
CT3 delivers!
Borderline strike two.
JT woulda scored easily on the bad throw, but that’s easy to say in retrospect.
OK, CT, make Roberts look good for starting you.
Thank you, particularly with two strikes.
This season he had walked four in a game once, but otherwise never more than two.
I wonder if he has ever walked three in an inning before.
Atta boy.
Shake off the rust, Clay.
This is an odd starting time for a cross-country getaway day.
Dodgers’ magic number over the Paddies remains 14; 5 over the Gnats and Snakes. SF likely to be eliminated before Labor Day.
In the race for best record, the figure remains 24 over the Mutts, and the Barves 22.
