Game 70, 2023

Giants at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: NBCSBA, SPNLA

RHP John Brebbia (2-0, 3.25 ERA) goes for the Giants and the Dodgers have yet to announce their starter in what’s planned to be a bullpen game.

Update: The Dodgers have brought up Emmet Sheehan from AA Tulsa. While

the right-hander has not pitched above Double-A Tulsa this season. Sheehan went 4-1 with a 1.86 ERA, striking out 88 batters over 53 1/3 innings of work. That dominance earned him a callup to Triple-A Oklahoma City over the weekend, though he hasn’t pitched at the level yet.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1933 Last year’s National League batting champ, Lefty O’Doul, and pitcher Watty Clark, a 20-game winner last season, are traded by the Dodgers to the Giants for first baseman Sam Leslie. Brooklyn’s newest infielder will bat .311 during his three seasons with the team, before returning to New York in 1936.
  • 2019 Trailing by three runs in the ninth, the Padres rally to eventually beat the Rockies at Coors Field, 14-13. The contest ends the highest-scoring four-game series in history with the teams combining for 92 runs, surpassing the record of 88 players crossing the plate, set by the Phillies and Dodgers in May 1929.

    June 14 – SD 16, COL 12
    June 15 – COL 14, SD 8

Game 72, 2019

Cubs at Dodgers, 4:05 PM PDT, TV: ESPN

LHP José Quintana (4-6, 3.89 ERA) takes the mound for the Cubs to face LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-1, 1.36 ERA) of the Dodgers. Quintana struggled for 4 2/3 innings against the Rockies last Tuesday while giving up four runs in a Cubs loss. Ryu could have won his tenth game of the season last Monday night had the bullpen not blown a two-run lead after he left the game, just as Buehler could have won his eighth last night had Jansen not surrendered a go-ahead home run in the ninth.

Jansen gave up five HRs in all of 2017, then 13 in 2018, and now five in 28 games in 2019.

Game 69, 2018

Giants at Dodgers, 5:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox

The Giants’ LHP Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 4.76 ERA) got a late start thanks to a broken finger on his pitching hand, so this is just his third start of the year. He gave up four runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings against the Marlins his last time out. He’ll face the Dodgers’ LHP Alex Wood (1-5, 4.43 ERA), who’s still trying to find the form which made him 16-3 last season. He’s had hamstring and abductor muscle “issues” this season.
