Dodgers at Diamondbacks, 6:40PM PT, TV: SPNLA, FS-A, MLB.tv
Zack Greinke (8-3, 3.84 ERA) faces his former team for the first time, but he faced them before he ever became a Dodger too. He was 2-0 with a 2.52 ERA against them before 2012. Greinke has won five straight starts. He’ll be opposed by Mike Bolsinger (1-3, 5.75 ERA), who has yet to go past the sixth inning in any of his four starts.
Lineup:
Utley 2B
Seager SS
Turner 3B
Gonzalez 1B
Thompson RF
Pederson CF
Grandal C
Van Slyke LF

RISP = RISK for this Dodgers offense.
On the verge of falling six games back.
See you tomorrow friends.
Dodgers not good in 1 run games. 7-13 or something like that.
0-for-11 with RISP. The season of our discontent rolls on.
We are terrible with RISP. Just terrible.
Donald Trump would say, “Terrible, Terrible, Terrible.”
And raise conspiracy theories.
Feels like half the outs in this game are of the highlight variety.
Why can’t we hit when the bases are loaded?
We can. We simply choose not to.
That one was so close. Good knock by Howie.
Ok Kendrick big moment here.
Never mind.
Ok Hernandez big moment here.
Why do we ever pitch to Goldschmidt? He too good.
Interesting how an inch one way or another can make a player a goat or a hero.
TWSS?
Because even the very best hitters make outs more frequently than they get hits.
Love that Howel faced only one batter and got two outs – one in each inning he pitched!
Oh boy. If this was a playoff game I would be so crazy with frustration right now. So crazy.
Hit it to right
Just the same, Greinke knows he threw another dinger. Turner’s blast was long enough.
Man. Turner hitting the ball long and hard but no luck.
Seager!
Take that Greinke
Gopher balls!
Bolsinger has been giving them up with great voracity this season.
His eventual role is long reliever/spot starter.
Hit it to the right fielder
That lead didn’t last long.
OK, Ballslinger, there’s your run.
“Please, sir, might I have some more?”
Herr Scherzer pitching an extremely interesting game through 5-1/3 v. the Cubbies.
Then, as quickly as I write that, Addison Russell dingers him.
Uribear hurt in terrible way.
