Giants at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: MLBN (out-of-market only), NBCS BA, SPNLA
LHP Kyle Harrison (1-0, 3.00 ERA) pitches for the Giants this evening; RHP Tyler Glasnow (1-0, 2.45 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers. This is the 22-year-old Harrison’s ninth start in the big leagues; he was 2-1 last year after making his debut in August. It’s the 30-year-old Glasnow’s 130th game and 91st start; he’s got a lifetime record of 31-27 and a 3.86 ERA. By the way, according to MLB.com Glasnow’s nickname is “Baby Giraffe.”
- 1966 In his first at-bat against Juan Marichal since the pitcher’s bat-yielding incident last season, Johnny Roseboro hits a three-run inside-the-park home run in the Dodgers’ 8-4 victory over the Giants. Before starting the spring training contest, San Francisco GM Chub Feeney attempted to arrange a handshake between the combatants, with the Los Angeles catcher, who has a $110,000 lawsuit pending against the right-hander and the hurler’s team, declining the offer.
- 1968 The Tigers trade left-hander Hank Aguirre to the Dodgers for a player to be named later, minor leaguer Fred Moulder. The All-Star southpaw, better known for being the worst hitter in major league history, will compile a .085 batting average during his 16-year major league career, striking out in an astounding 61% of his 388 at-bats. In his sole season with the Dodgers he appeared in 25 games, threw 39 innings, earned three saves and put up a .069 ERA, living up to his reputation by going 0-3 at the plate.
- 1974 The Indians trade Pedro Guerrero to Dodgers for pitcher Bruce Ellingsen. The 17 year-old infielder/outfielder will compile a .309 batting average and will be named to the All-Star team five times during his 11 seasons with the team.
- 2008 Twenty minutes before their game, the Dodgers announce reliever Hong-Chih Kuo will start in place of Chad Billingsley, who in turn will be in the bullpen. The unusual move, made due to the threat of rain at the start of the contest, is also employed by the Giants with Merkin Valdez beginning the game on the mound and the announced starter, and eventual winner Tim Lincecum entering the game in the fourth inning.
Lineups when available.
Let's finish the roadtrip strong

NPUT
Looks like one of the game balls is now worth more.
Maybe worth a Toyota Camry?
Well, I guess we will see Kelly. Hope it is Bueno and not Guano Kelly.
Roj-Hoo..
Slider didn’t slide. Left it up and in the middle.
Keeks. Glad we traded Margot and signed Kike.
Absolutely.
Yee-haw!
Woo-HOO!!!
Yay!! Dodgers win!!
Just as Dave planned it!
Winnipeg Dave?
A further audition for Lamet.
Hope Roberts doesn’t lament.
No comment.
Joe reminding me of Jerry Doggett with that fly ball to right.
¡Miércoles!
Rats!!
Phillips had a pretty easy save last night. Is he available for the 9th?
SHOHEI!!!
Woot!!

Patsy Baibey reverts to form!
I wish I knew what that means.
Gnatfans call him “Patty.” It’s a minor variant.
El Mariachi gets an out!
Rally Time. Clap…Clap. Score some runs.
Whew.. Let’s get some runs.
Got the out!
Breathe out…
Last batter Doc.
Great play, Rojas.
There goes the DP. He’s really spiking those pitches.
He’s gassed.
This is like deja vu all over again. (Last night)
Really need that RPI DP.
Yes we do!
Glasnow running out of gas.
Get somebody up in the bullpen Doc.
Even if holding a banjo in your hands, you can still make good contact.
Is that a Yogiism.
Really hoping Glasnow can give us 7 innings tonight.
Struggling a little with six.
Yep. 6 might be it.
¡Rojitas!
MIGGY!!!
Gnats look a little dejected tonight.
Well… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/769ffbde98f75b08930822b6ac0d0c2df655f6923828a9d8f0166ce690945f13.png
I think I would have challenged that.
That’s more like it.
Keeping Ebel busy this inning.
He knows what he’s doing.
Woot!
A Dilly Double. Woot.
Ohtani out runs the pitcher. Nice hustle.
Inexcusable.
Unfortunate but excusable.
At Wrigley, Cubbies have blown a 8-2 leads v. the Rox, now trying to regain lead in eighth.
Good job Rojas. Put the ball in play. Strike outs suck.
Miggy brings one in. Good job.
Glasnow is dealing!
The guy is an ace. Just got to keep him healthy.
But now that CGSO will take him 81 pitches.
Good start!
Relaxing inning. On pace for a 63-pitch CGSO.
Let’s go, Blue!
Go Dodgers. What did you have to eat at the ballpark last night?
All-beef dawg and a churro. A healthy night!
Sounds delicious.
I did bring an apple.
In 1966, I thought Marichal should’ve been charged with felony assault.
It’s Night Four of Blackout Week. Friday the Dodgers play in Chicago, where Cubbies and Rox nearly got snowed out today.
I recall that 2008 game. It was very strange, such that it was labeled the Bizarro game on DT.
Bills would appear out of the pen but was ineffective and blew a save.
An astute analysis of the gambling crisis in sports, with only peripheral reference to Ohtani: https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?guid=0a14fc10-c0d6-45cf-b4da-058981dab339&v=sdk
There’s another one going on in the NBA.
