Game 29. 2024

Posted on by

Dodgers at Blue Jays, Time: 12:07 PM PDT, TV: SN1, SPNLA, SportsNet+

RHP Tyler Glasnow (4-1, 2.52 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-1, 2.28 ERA) goes for the Jays.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1981 Fernandomania continues to explode at Chavez Ravine when Dodger rookie sensation Fernando Valenzuela pitches his fourth shutout in five starts. The 20 year-old Mexican southpaw, who is batting over .400, beats the Giants, 5-0, and lowers his ERA to a microscopic 0.20.

  • 2004 At Dodger Stadium, Mike Piazza ties Carlton Fisk for the most career homers by a catcher as he hits Hideo Nomo’s sixth-inning pitch into the stands for his 351st round-tripper as a backstop. The homer, which was his 362nd overall, moves the Mets’ star past Yankees’ Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio on the all-time list.
  • 2007 On the night in which the ceremonial first pitch is thrown by his three sons, Trevor Hoffman is unable to hold on to a two run lead when the Dodgers score three in the ninth and eventually beat the Padres, 6-5. It’s ‘Trevor Time Desk Clock’ Night, and the usually reliable Padres closer blows the save, thanks to some shady defense, for the second consecutive game.
  • 2010 The suddenly streaking Mets win their sixth consecutive game with a doubleheader sweep of the Dodgers, 4-0 and 10-5. The victories mark the first time since August 28, 1971 that the club has taken both ends of a twin bill from L.A.

  4. Now they say Glasnow was suffering from “cramping,” whatever that might mean.

  6. Prior to today’s game, the Dodgers in their preceding five games (all victories)::
    …Batted .351 (66 for 188)
    …Outscored the Mets, Nationals and Blue Jays, 39-7
    …Had a team ERA of 1.20
    …Committed just one error

  8. A fine effort all around. Everybody gets a hit. Glasnow was filthy. Bullpen shuts them down.

    • Traditionally a slow starter, though never this slow (March/April the worst OPS over his career).

  16. Freddie having trouble keeping up with the Jones. His OPS+135 coming into today is respectable, but only ranked fifth among the regulars.

        • I’m hoping to do both Dodger Stadium and The Litterbox, probably also Oakland though I hate to contribute even a penny to scumbags like Fisher.

          • Buying a ticket to attend a game there makes me cringe (though it’s still a better fan experience than SF’s Software Stadium, under the auspices of even more loathsome billionaires).

  23. Dodgers (17-11)
    Blue Jays (13-14)
