Game 143, 2018

Dodgers at Rockies, 12:10 PM PDT, TV: SPNLA, ATTSportsNet- RM

The visiting Dodgers ask LHP Rich Hill (7-5, 3.73 ERA) to get them back within a half-game of first place by defeating the Rockies’ Tyler Anderson (6-7, 4.80 ERA) and his buddies. Hill and Alex Wood have flipped starting spots due to “matchups,” per Dodger manager Dave Roberts. In Hill’s one start at Coors Field this season he gave up two runs in six innings. Anderson’s last start was against the Giants; he went 5 1/3 innings and gave up three runs.

On this day in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1948 At the Polo Grounds, Dodger Rex Barney no-hits the Giants, 2-0. The Brooklyn 23 year-old right-hander had to endure a one-hour rain delay, as well as showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish his gem.
  • 1965 Sandy Koufax’s perfect game against the Cubs bests Bob Hendley’s one hit effort, 1-0. The Dodger Stadium gem is the southpaw’s record fourth no-hitter.

    “And there’s 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies.” – Vin Scully’s description Of Koufax’s masterpiece.

  • 2013 Juan Uribe homers in each of his first three trips to the plate in the Dodgers’ 8-1 victory over Arizona. Los Angeles goes yard six times in the Chavez Ravine contest, falling two shy of the franchise record established in 2002.
