Dodgers at Giants, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox
RHP Walker Buehler (2-0, 2.98 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers. He’ll face old friend LHP Scott Kazmir (0-0, 0.00 ERA), who’s replacing the injured Logan Webb.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1998 The Mets trade Preston Wilson, Geoff Goetz, and Ed Yarnell to the Marlins for Mike Piazza. Florida had acquired the All-Star catcher last week from the Dodgers along with Todd Zeile in exchange for Gary Sheffield, Bobby Bonilla, Charles Johnson, Jim Eisenreich, and Manuel Barrios.
- 1999 Mark McGwire becomes the third player to launch a ball out of Dodger Stadium when one of his two home runs travels 483 feet in the Cardinals’ 10-7 victory at Chavez Ravine. The slugging first baseman joins Willie Stargell, who accomplished the feat twice in 1969 and 1973, and Mike Piazza, whose Ruthian blast cleared the ballpark two seasons ago.

Just read that we are still paying Kazmir. $8M a year. Geez, what a terrible signing that was. One of AF’s few bad mistakes.
Poor Seattle is just terrible this year.
They have some great young talent, but it’s not quite there and they’re also suffering COVID issues.
They’re my favorite AL team.
Jansen picks up career save 323. He is one behind Huston Street for 19th all time.
C’mon Mariners!!
Let’s go!

Yahoo!
That was satisfying.
Soooo satisfying.
Agreed!
Absolutely
How sweet it is!
Tres. Yippee!!
Woo-HOO!!!!!!!
Dos
There’s two!
2 outs
One away.
Uno
Ok KJ. It’s up to you.
Just hold them to zero runs and I will be happy. 😉
I wonder if it’s Jansen time because the lead has tightened?
Joe answered my question for me.
Surprised that Doc is using him so soon in the series, but not reliable options.
Those extra runs are so important now!
Flaxseed strikes again!
Ugh
Multi-tooled Sam.
Barnes can play small ball as well.
Albert again w the rbi!
Albert flashing all the signs. Barrels overrated. Dunking on the pitcher. Lol
RBI man.
Butter and eggs man up. Or something like that…
Love the tumble over in the outfield. Good start to the inning!
Finally have eyes! Wow. Walker bringing down the hammer.
Walker Buehler!
What. A. Pitch!
Typical SF luck.
It’s who they are.
As long as they lose, I’m fine with the dumb luck stuff. But it makes it more of a struggle…
Especially when it follows a flaxseed-fueled double.
Exactly.
And again!
¡Miércoles!
The flaxseed oil just kicked in for Brandi C.
Zelmo delivers, and then Peters!
Beaty is in beast mode!
Low pitch count through six for Ferris.
Has never gone less than six and averages 93 pitches per game. The boy once over 100.
I was ambivalent about Bauer’s acquisition, but enjoyed his full Lasorda.
Nice easy fifth.
DJ steals a 2B!
Quite a blow by Sam!
First of the year.
Brandi B knows he can’t hit Buehler.
Few can!
.203 BA against.
I want a blowout.
Yeah, though normally these games are close.
A bit of breathing room now.
Coming into the game, Max was leading the NL in WAR among position players.
Surprised when he sat yesterday
Has appeared in 44 of 46.
Splash!
I loathe Fox, but at least it’s not a blackout and we have Dodger commentators in Joe Davis and Karros.
