Padres at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports San Diego, SPNLA
LHP Blake Snell (0-5, 5.60 ERA) takes the mound for the Friars and RHP Tony Gonsolin (9-0, 1.58 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers. Snell’s record is startlingly bad for a former Cy Young winner (2018 while with the Rays). On the other hand, against the Dodgers he’s been very good over his career:
- 1-0, 1.75 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in six regular season starts (25.2 innings)
- 0-0, 2.70 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in two World Series starts (10 innings)
Gonsolin was on the hook to lose his last start despite giving up just one run in 5 2/3 innings. Fortunately for him the Dodgers came back to tie the game against the Braves and then won it in the 11th inning.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1968 Bob Gibson’s scoreless inning streak ends abruptly at 47 with a questionable call when the official scorer rules a wild pitch, and not a passed ball, allowed Len Gabrielson to score in the first inning of the Cardinals’ 5-1 victory over the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Without the hometown decision, the Redbird right-hander, who will blank San Francisco in his next start, would have been within three innings of breaking the mark of 58 scoreless frames established in June by Don Drysdale, tonight’s losing pitcher.
- 2011 Dee Gordon, in the seventh inning of a 5-0 inter-league victory over the Angels in Anaheim, steals second and third base, and then completes the stolen base cycle by swiping home. The Dodger shortstop becomes the 40th major leaguer to accomplish the trifecta in the same frame.

NPUT
No way he throws him out with pitcher late to cover
KKKT3.
Everyone in the lineup now wears the K badge.
I like KT3 better than anything starting with 3K’s…

I don’t get it Doc. Lux should be in the lineup over Trayce or Muncy.
I guess the computer doesn’t like Lux against Snell?
Let’s see here. Against lefties this year…
Trayce – .118/.118/.118/.235 That’s 2 singles in 17 AB’s in case you’re wondering
Muncy – .148/.281/.278/.559
Lux – .306/.370/.367/.738
Gather he is giving Lux a day off, rather than it being a question of match ups. Probably come off the bench if need be.
Gnats lose to the ChiSox. 1-0.
Yeehaw!
Twenty games over .500 for the first time this season!
Crazy that the Yanks are 35 games over .500. Not used to a MLB team doing that much better than the Dodgers over the last 5 or so years.
This guarantees Dodgers will finish the series in first place.
Yes. At worst they are 1.5 up – which is where they started the series. Hoping for 3.5 – or 5.5!
5 games up in the loss column.
Key for sure.
Woo-HOO!!!! Had grandchildren here but game was on in the background!
Thanks for the Woo-Hoo then!
How sweet it be!
Oh Oh, there goes San Diego,
Go Go Gonzilla.
Starter for NL in ASG?
Should be.
By the numbers, Tony. By sentiment, Clayton.
Dodgers win!
Chisox have taken a 1-0 lead over the Gnats in the gninth.

Said that during his interview tonight with Joe and Orel.
Nice play by their kid at SS.
Very fine D, but no chance to get Trayce.
Excellent situational hitting.
5-1.
4-1!
Ok. Let’s score more here. 2nd and 3rd and nobody out.
Bad break that it bounced over the fence.
A very good idea, WD.
Thanks Scoop. Just a little something I learned about baseball – it’s never a bad idea for the team you are rooting for to score more runs.
Hmmm, let me think about that.
No K for CT3 – nice solid hit.
When he makes contact, good things usually happen.
Who the Sam Hill is this Padre pitcher?
Gonzilla. Outstanding Tony.
Great work by Tony tonight.
So now – finish it off strong Dodger bullpen.
Catman take a bow!
Machado is meat. Sit down.
Barnes and Goose!
C’mon JT. One more.
Yeah, more runs. Have had enough drama tonight.
Yeah, more runs. Have had enough drama tonight.
Freddie ribbie
Fribbie?
Free ribeyes?
Prefer bife de chorizo.
An excellent choice.
You need to try Argentine entraña (sometimes known as skirt steak here).
Prefiero entraña.
Yeah, though since I don’t eat steak all that often anymore, I treat myself to a little bit of fat.
Frisbee?
Ultimate!
3-1!
Trea with the Trea slide.
Conejo!
78 pitches for Tony.
Snell was at 78 pitches through 4 I believe.
All or nothing. Way to go Cody.
Truly an outcome!
Belli!!
Why isn’t Dave here tonight? https://twitter.com/linusalf/status/1543080070214025216?s=20&t=LxadYP27B2hOSQlYQp48og
You talkin’ to me?
Congrats, neighbor!
Thank you. I am working at a camp all next week – so I might not be able to return the greetings on Monday.
With pitch count, might get 7 out of him tonight. Hasn’t done that yet this year.
Conceivably even more.
With Doc, I try not to count chickens.
O for 5 RISP. All strike outs. At least two with runner at 3rd and less than 2 outs. Not gonna cut it.
Yet they have the best record in the league.
Oh Max. Another K.
Dodgers 3 true out coming it tonight: 1 home run, 4 walks and 11 strikeout – so far.
Why do they call them “true” outcomes?
No fielder interference? So it’s truly on the pitcher? Maybe something like that?
And on the batter as well, no?
Dodger catchers can run.
Snell has 10 Ks in 4 1/3 innings.
11 in 4 2/3
Unacceptable.
It’s not great that’s for sure.
It’s pathetic.
Very high pitch count.
And that’s with ump squeezing him.
Won’t be sorry to see him leave.
Hadn’t realized that Sam, the back up catcher, is the team captain.
They have a team captain? When’s the last time that happened?
That’s what Mook said.
Ha!
Squandering scoring opportunities early usually comes back to bite you in the rear.
Another major failure.
Dodgers are 19 games over .500, which ties for their season high. First time was at 33-14.

Looks like we are back. Max as well?
On Gibson, following the blanking of SF, he had four more complete games in July: two more shutouts and two one run games.
Muncy back! (Back, back)
Beautiful D by Muncy and Freddie.
Little known Anaheim fact. https://twitter.com/nut_history/status/1542969825760530433?s=20&t=bfeSVp6DWdWugIjhf4ecaQ
Machado not it the starting lineup for the Puds.
Wonder if he’s suffered a relapse.
Yeah, likely pushed it a little bit too much in order to be available for this series.
I think his first-inning double last night was a stretch.
