Cardinals at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: SPNLA, FS-M, ESPN
The Cardinals send RHP Jack Flaherty (7-6, 3.05 ERA) to the mound to face the Dodgers’ RHP Walker Buehler (6-4, 3.19 ERA). Flaherty has a .095 ERA in three August starts. Buehler went six innings in his last start and got the win.
On this day in Dodgers’ history:
- 1917 In a 22-inning contest against the Dodgers, Pirates’ outfielder Carson Bigbee sets a major-league record with 11 at-bats. The game was also the fourth straight extra-inning game played by Pittsburgh (total of 59 innings), which sets a National League record.
- 1965 Juan Marichal thinks Johnny Roseboro throws too close to his head returning the ball to Sandy Koufax and attacks the Dodger catcher with his bat. The Los Angeles backstop suffers cuts on the head during the 14-minute brawl.
- 2000 Hitting a solo blast and a three-run round-tripper during a nine-run sixth inning of a 14-6 victory over the Expos, Dodger first baseman Eric Karros becomes the first player in the 111-year franchise history to hit two homers in an inning.
