Padres at Dodgers, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox
RHP Joe Musgrove (1-0, 6.75 ERA) pitches for the Padres and LHP Julio Urías (4-3, 3.37 ERA) does the same for the Dodgers.
- 1947 During the pregame infield practice, a barrage of racial slurs is directed at Jackie Robinson by the Cincinnati fans during the Dodgers’ first visit to Crosley Field this season. Brooklyn shortstop Pee Wee Reese, captain of the team and a Southerner from Kentucky with friends attending the game, engages the black infielder in conversation, and then put his arm around his teammate’s shoulder, a gesture that stuns and silences the crowd.

Photo from Flickr by Gary Dunaier - 1952 Larry Miggins hits the first of his two major league home runs, going deep off Preacher Roe in the fourth inning of the Cardinals’ 14-8 loss to the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. The round-tripper hit by the Bronx-born outfielder, who had once shared his dream of playing in big leagues during a prep school assembly with a buddy with aspirations to be a baseball broadcaster, is called by an overwhelmed Vin Scully, Brooklyn’s play-by-play announcer who had wondered that day with his friend “what the odds against that would be.”
- 1958 San Francisco teammates Willie Mays and Darryl Spencer each have four long hits, driving in four and six runs, respectively, in the team’s 16-9 victory over the Dodgers at LA’s Memorial Coliseum. The Giants’ center fielder and shortstop combine for 28 total bases, with Mays hitting two homers, two triples, a single, and Spencer adding two round-trippers, a three-bagger, and a double to the offensive outburst.
- 2013 Thanks to a seventh-grade history class project, a three-mile stretch of the Kansas K-79 highway, from K-16 highway to Circleville, is designated by the Kansas legislature as the Barnes Brothers Memorial Highway in honor of Ozzie and Virgil, who grew up in the community and played with the Braves, Giants, and Dodgers in the 1910-20s. The McAlister middle schoolers’ research brought to light the many major league accomplishments of the two siblings, including being participants in first brother matchup in big league history.

If you look at Baseball Reference’s career ERA leaders Kershaw’s not at the top, but the Dodgers and Fox both say so. Here’s the deal:
Okay, but it’s hard to believe the 41 guys ahead of him were all pitchers whose careers were mostly if not completely in the dead-ball era. Looking at the names, though, I guess it’s accurate.

Sandy at 99.
Brusdal to battle the big guns in the 9th?
Yes sir.
Cosgrove replaces Musgrove? That’s … unusual.
Hopefully the Dodgers can keep the groove against the Groves…
Urias at $300-$350 million for 8 years or Ohtani at $500-$600 million for 10 years?
It would be great to have the Dodgers do both – but if they only do one – who would you prefer?
I do love Julio…
Agreed.
Hey, Link! I believe today’s game starts at 4:15pm pst.Also on FOX 11.
Day game tomorrow. 1:10 PM PDT
Night game, 10:10 PM in Berlin.
Fergie comes thru!
Nice game!
Had a bit of everything.
Even beach balls.
Dodgers win!!!
Woo-HOO!!!
Odor back pinch running.
The writer looking for the villain.
So, so close to being over on a great barehand pickup and throw with a long long stretch catch. This could motivate SD regardless of the outcome.
Here comes Fergie.
Thanks Fergie!
Oh man. Always like this with San Diego.
Never easy.
Throw a third slider?
Sliding two strikes by!
Okay, get the next one, Graterol. Oh lordy, and it’s Cruz.
I’m thinking he’s safe.
Looked safe.
Yeah.
Dodgers win?!
WOW!!! And also, maybe Woo-HOO?
Wow!!
Uno mas Brusdar!
One more!
2 away.
There’s $100,000 per at bat out
Let’s go Brusdal. There’s one.
The money guns up in the ninth for SD
What’s the Tatis booing all about?
He can be annoying but I would be overjoyed if he were the Dodger shortstop.
Maybe the illegal substance business?
Need the pen to lock another one down. Another tight game.
I’m feeling a home run by Outman
Only lacked 80 mph more exit velocity to get out.
And a bit more lift too.
No out, man.
Julito!
Urias the acrobat starting the doubleplay.
Really settled into a pitcher’s duel.
Nicely done, Julio!
Yes! Julio!
My goodness, Julio!
Oh baby! Nice DP!
Cruel.
Come on infield. Looking at you left-side.
Took care of Tatis. Nasty.
Not out man.
Nice inning Julio.
Keep grinding Dodgers.
Missed chances, Vol 2
Wish this was in SF right now. Lol
Dang. Up to Max now.
Ok Willie – make them pay.
Nice play by Vargas there.
Leather, cannon!
That would make a great nickname for a player.
Or a garage band.
Take another bloop here.
Or a blast.
Can’t believe they are complaining about that pitch being a ball. It was very high.
Manager supporting his hurler.
Prolong inning for Joe.
Best way to stop the Dodgers from scoring with 2 outs? Try and leave the field after getting the 2nd out. Nice try Padres.
Will Smith is so good.
Willie drives in Freddie.
Willie drives in Freddie.
Double for Freddie. That would have scored a couple of runs last inning.
Mookie mistake.
See what you did there.
Oh, man, Vargas.
Rookie mistake. Dang.
Oh shoot.
Let’s go, Freddie! Do your thing.
Vargas with a single?
It’s shocking.
RBI was right. The ball is flying today.
Woot!!!
JD for 3!!!
JD!!!!
Come on JD
Bloop, bloop…
Blam!
Haha. Yep
So we will be graced by the wisdom of Smoltz.
Cough cough
Ball is flying today.
EuroVision ends – and the Dodger game begins. Perfect timing.
Go Dodgers!
