Game 29, 2023

Posted on by

Cardinals at Dodgers , 1:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports Midwest, SPNLA

RHP Jake Woodford (1-2, 5.47 ERA) takes the hill for the Cardinals and RHP Noah Syndergaard (0-3, 6.58 ERA) does so for the Dodgers.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1940 The Dodgers tie the major league mark for consecutive wins from the beginning of the season with style as James ‘Tex’ Carleton no-hits the Reds, 3-0, for the team’s ninth straight victory since Opening Day.
  • 1944 In the first game of a doubleheader split, first baseman Phil Weintraub gets 11 RBIs, and player-manager Mel Ott scores six runs, drawing five walks in the Giants’ 26-8 rout of the Dodgers. Brooklyn wins the nightcap 5-4 in a game shortened due to darkness.
  • 1988 Dave Winfield ties the major league RBI record for April established by Dodger infielder Ron Cey in 1977 and matched by Dale Murphy of the Braves in 1985. The right fielder, who was on base at least once in every game, drives in his 28th and 29th runs of the month in the Yankees’ 15-3 rout of Texas in New York.

Sad news for the Cardinals’ radio listeners: Mike Shannon has died. He spent nine years playing for the team and 50 years broadcasting their games on radio.

Lineups when available.

  2. Orel: “pushing the back of the envelope “ when referring to Dodgers starting to steal more often, mixing metaphors.

  3. C’mon Noah, you’ve got a lead, don’t immediately blow it.

    Pfft. So much for that. This reclamation project is not going well so far.

  4. Dodgers now tied for first as Snakes lose to Rox. Pads one game out as the Gnatpen blows it in CDMX.

  6. That’ll do it for now. This time tomorrow we’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic en route to Stockholm. The time difference may affect my participation over the next few weeks.

  9. Just noticed at The Athletic:

    The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up pitching prospect Gavin Stone, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Saturday. MLB.com first reported the news. Here’s what you need to know:

    The plan is for Stone to start Wednesday against the Phillies, the source said.
    Stone is 2-2 with a 4.74 ERA through 24 2/3 innings pitched with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
    The 24-year-old was the Dodgers’ No. 4 prospect heading into the 2023 season, according to The Athletic’s Keith Law.

      • The Kings certainly deserve praise. I think they won close to 20 games more this year than last. But when you go up against the defending champs…

  15. I feel blessed(?) that I saw Arenado commit two errors in one game. Both grounders through his legs hit by Nationals batsmen.

  18. Rox have rolled the Snakes 12-4 at Coors, so Dodgers can regain a tie for first today.
