Dodgers at Giants, 6:45 PM PDT, TV: NBCS BA, SPNLA
RHP Dustin May (1-0, 0.69 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and LHP Alex Wood (0-0, 3.00 ERA) goes for the Giants.
- 1912 Rube Marquard begins a nineteen-game consecutive winning streak by beating the Dodgers, 18-3, in a game which features 13 ground rule doubles hit by the visitors because of the overflow crowd being placed in the outfield and along the foul lines. The future Hall of Fame southpaw’s streak will end in July when the Giants lose to Chicago at the West Side Grounds, 7-2.
- 1961 Robin Roberts, in his twelfth-straight Opening Day start, is tagged with the loss when the Phillies lose to the Dodgers in the LA Memorial Coliseum, 6-2. The right-hander’s effort ties Grover Cleveland Alexander’s National League record for consecutive season openers.
- 2006 Jeromy Burnitz, Ryan Doumit, Jack Wilson, and Craig Wilson hit solo home runs in the Pirates’ 7-6 victory over the Dodgers at PNC Park. The quartet of round-trippers blasted by the Buc sluggers is each player’s second homer of the season. (Ed. Note: Our thanks to L. Cole for suggesting this entry – LP)

NPUT
I can live with everything except for Greasylocks, the most loathsome Gnat, going deep.
This is not the kind of hitting I hoped to see this season.
As in, sporadically non-existent?
Hit the lefty, Trayce!
Other way around.
Lefty hit the righty.
Muncy sits one lousy game and the Dodgers get shut out.
Miserable. I’m out.
Good call. Sleep tight.
Well, at least we don’t have to worry about Kimbrel coming in to implode.
Phillips did it;
Oh Brusdar.
Got out of it.
May wasn’t sharp, but, did his job. Offense has dropped the ball.
Other than the four walks he did okay, although far fewer strikeouts than I normally expect of him.
Dodgers setting up for a big comeback win.
We need a Willy Dilly.
We look awful tonight.
Not sorry I’m blacked out?
You should not be too sorry, no.
Not sure Doc should be pulling May.
Respect for Joc
Lefty to pitch to Joc, who can’t hit them.
Joc did okay last year but looked bad doing it.
The Turner the Dodgers are really missing is Trea.
Two Ks from our two backup shortstops.
We’ve seen that before.
Miserable showing on our side.
Pathetic.
Vargas keeps getting on base. Who needs a bat?
KT3. Saw that coming.
This is our shot.
Pretty DP
Time to score some runs.
¡Miércoles!
That should be on the Dodgers alternate jerseys.
It sounds as if Seager suffered a serious hammie injury tonight.
Expensive
He has been injury-prone.
Reminds owners of the perils of big contracts.
Ump helping the pitchers
Not as much as Wood would like though.
Could Joc have swung any harder at that first pitch?
Outman saved that
Indeed. Heads up play.
KT3.
Difference in the game is the location of ground balls down the first base line between Joc and James.
Attention everybody–Outman is up
The Devil Rays won their 11th straight tonight, before a home crowd of… 12.649.
I like it.
Me too. No team is setting the world on fire so far except the Rays.
Them Devil Rays fans must be truly enthusiastic.
My sorta-hometown Mariners took an early 7-0 lead at Wrigley and now trail 14-8 after six.
blowing out.
Glad that’s over and he can leave the mound and reset.
Well, Joc says hello.
¡Traídor!
Gordo. Not really a traitor. Dodgers let him walk.
And there has been a hole in LF ever since. Although he would be DHing this year.
Yep. In retrospect, probably should have kept him and KiKi and let Taylor walk.
Kiké wanted to play fulltime, which he wasn’t getting here.
So did Joc. They tried it in Chicago, but it didn’t work out. DH has been good for him.
He was getting full time ABs and playing time as the utility guy.
Last year perhaps, but AJ put up OPS+ 124 in 20-21 in LF.
Not!
Trust your stuff Dustin.
Muncy consigue día de descanso… https://twitter.com/LosDodgers/status/1645914330519724032?s=20
