Nationals at Dodgers, 5:00 PM PDT, TV: ESPN

LHP Alex Wood is winless in the still-young season at 0-2, but he’s got a 3.91 ERA and gave up only one run and two hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Padres his last time out. He’ll face the Nationals’ RHP Jeremy Hellickson (0-0, 3.86 ERA), who replaced A.J. Cole in the rotation on April 16 against the Mets, going 4 2/3 innings with no decision. This is his first appearance at Dodger Stadium.

On this day in Dodgers’ history:

• 1955 The NY Giants behind Marv Grissom defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers and Johnny Podres at Ebbets Field, 5-4. Grissom was later traded by the Giants (with Ernie Broglio!) to the Cardinals in 1958, and after retiring he was the Angels’ first pitching coach. Podres, of course, won the seventh game of the World Series that year, beating the Yankees 2-0 and giving Brooklyn its only World Series title. He came West with the Dodgers to LA and also became a pitching coach after his playing days were done, most successfully with the Phillies
