Dodgers at Mets, 4:10 PM PDT, TV: AppleTV+
In a matchup of aces who haven’t completely found their games yet this season, LHP Julio Urías (6-5, 4.76 ERA) takes the Citi Field mound for the Dodgers and RHP Justin Verlander (3-4, 3.60 ERA) does so for the Mets.
- 1968 In the nightcap of a twin bill, Don Wilson strikes out eighteen batters in a nine-inning game to tie the then major league record, shared by Bob Feller (Indians, 1938) and Sandy Koufax (Dodgers, 1959 and 1962). The Astros right-hander fans future Hall of Famer Johnny Bench for the last out of his 6-1 victory over the Reds on a wind-swept night at Crosley Field.

via Astrosdaily.com - 1995 Ramon Martinez throws the 22nd no-hitter in franchise history when he beats the Marlins at Dodger Stadium, 7-0. The Dodger right-hander, who was booed by the home crowd in his last outing, was perfect before walking Tommy Gregg on a 3-2 pitch after getting the first out in the seventh inning.
- 2005 Defeating their historical arch-rivals, the Giants become the first team to win 10,000 games as a franchise by edging the Dodgers in LA, 4-3. The Giants, who started as the New York Gothams in 1899, have posted a 10,000-8,511 record during the club’s 123 seasons in the National League.

Woo-HOO!!!
Evivva!
Ding Dong. Its Martinezly.
Muncy batting cleanup is a joke. I would bat him 6th or 7th.
His power numbers are good. It’s just his BA which is bad. He’s frustrated by it.
OPS+ 135 RISP and Doc gets to have the R,LR,L…thing. So, no joke.
Scrub Jays now lead Snakes 6-2 in seventh.
Rojas got greedy. But, got the run in. Semi-Tootblan.
No Kershaw for a few more weeks. Already at 95 innings compared with about 125 annually in recent years. Say that 140 is feasible, that would be about 8 more starts of about six innings each over the next couple of months.
Kind of saw this coming. No big surprise. Still sucks.
Yahoo!
Yay!! Dodgers win.
Way to hustle Willy.
Cash’em in Freddie.
Caleb!!!!
In the seventh, leading the Gnats 4-3, Pirates have inserted a reliever named “Holderman.”
…who fails to hold the lead.
Pile it on Dodgers.
That was a lot of walks given to the Dodgers by Kate’s husband.
Willy having a rough night.
Yay Freddie and the Mook.
Obrigado, Canha!
I’m paying enough to the greedy cheapskates at AMPTP already for Hulu and Disney + and ESPN +, so I’m not springing another $7/month to Apple to watch a ball game on Friday. Radio and Gameday for me!
Screw Apple. Radio is just fine. Did it for many years.
I may not be here at gametime, as we have a tax meetup with our accountant.
Likely to be otherwise engaged at gametime myself. I had actually planned with my buddy to do a road trip to catch the Dodgers versus the Mets this weekend, followed up with the series against the O’s. But, mice and men and all that…
Things gaft agley, did they?
