Rookie RHP Bobby Miller (2-0, 1.06 ERA) takes the ball for the Dodgers while 9-year veteran RHP Aaron Nola (5-4. 4.30 ERA) gets it for the Phillies.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 2012 Bobby Abreu, who was tied with Mickey Mantle for 109th place on the all-time hit list, surpasses the Yankee legend with a second-inning double in L.A.’s 8-2 interleague victory over Seattle at Safeco Field. The 38 year-old outfielder has collected 2,416 hits playing for the Astros, Phillies, Yankees, Angels, and Dodgers.

  4. Dodgers on this road trip:
    Allowing 0 runs – 2-0.
    Allowing more than 0 runs – 0-3.

  5. Dodgers on this road trip:
    Allowing 0 runs – 2-0.
    Allowing more than 0 runs – 0-3.

  10. I went to the Dodgers-Yankees game last Sunday that Miller started and pitched six scoreless innings. I was sitting in the second row reserved between home and first so I had a pretty good view. All his fastballs were about 99 or 100 mph. He reminded me of Drysdale, who was listed at 6-5 and 190. Miller is listed at 6-5 and 220. Drysdale was 19 when he broke in; Miller is 24. I just don’t want Miller throwing too many innings this season compared what he has thrown previously.

    • Threw 112 last year, so what 150 this year? Has thrown around 37 already so at 6 innings per start he should be good for 18 more starts.

      • Yes, I hope he doesn’t go more than 150. Conceivably, barring injury, he could have about 18 or 19 more starts. He will inevitably have some starts in which he doesn’t reach the 5th inning. So, if he mostly goes 6 or 7 innings in the others, he would likely be under 150 innings. Of course, the number of pitches is a determining factor. Is he off to the best start by a Dodger rookie pitcher since Fernando in 1981?

  11. Phillies waving the white flag. Kody (son of – but not a pitcher – Roger) Clemens into pitch.

  13. I love stats (and making them lie):

    Dodgers have out-scored the opposition 33-22 so far on the road trip and only have 1 win so far.

  16. J.D. hit 16 home runs total in 139 games last year.

    Hit his 16th home run in his 49th game this year.

  28. Interesting that up to Mookie’s last at bat – and before Smith’s next one – they both have a .902 OPS.

    • First 5 Dodger batters have an average OPS of .904. Muncy’s .805 bringing the average down.

  37. Over on Facebook I remarked that I’d never read the full poem by Emily Dickinson that begins “Hope is the thing with feathers…” Bob Timmermann reminded me that it was a favorite of Vinnie’s and linked to the obituary Bob wrote about Vin for the LA Public Library.

  43. It’s been a long time since the Dodgers had a cleanup hitter, if ever, batting below .200 this late (40 percent completed) in the season.
