Dodgers at Brewers, 4:10 PM PDT, TV: FS1, FS-WI, SPNLA
The Dodgers give LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-0, 3.07 ERA) the ball 12 days after he left a game in the second inning with a mild groin strain. The Brewers counter with RHP Chase Anderson (1-0, 4.50 ERA), who’s making a spot start replacing Freddie Peralta. Anderson’s longest outing from the bullpen this year was 43 pitches.
Kiké’s go-ahead HR from last night:
- 1999 A crowd of 37,317 fans enjoys a 3-2 victory over the Braves when LA surpasses the 100 million mark in attendance at Dodger Stadium. The ballpark opened in 1962, four seasons after the franchise moved from Brooklyn to the west coast.
- 2011 Bud Selig announces MLB is taking over operations of the Dodgers because of concerns over team finances and the ability of Frank McCourt to run the franchise. Los Angeles is facing substantial debt payments, which the owner plans to meet by using funding from the club’s new $2.5 billion, 20-year media-rights deal with Fox Sports, but the Commissioner has withheld his approval of the agreement between the News Corp.’s media company and the team.
- 2012 The Reds become the fifth major league team to record their 10,000th franchise victory with a 9-4 win over Chicago at Wrigley Field. Cincinnati joins the Giants, Cubs, Dodgers, Cardinals, and Braves in reaching the milestone.

Around the game: look at this catch.

Barnes is 2-for-25 since Martin went down, so I am glad to see he is getting the day off, which means he should be fresh for the day game tomorrow. I hope Gale can come through, although I expect he will flourish in the Windy City starting Tuesday.
Gale is more like a light summer breeze.
Your post reminded me of my favorite Sinatra Song, “The Summer Wind.” I just went on YouTube to listen to it. Still great.
The best! Used effectively in the movie “The Pope of Greenwich Village”.
There’s also Seals and Crofts’ “Summer Breeze”

Thanks. Another great song that also takes me back in time. Wonderful video accompaniment. Seals and Croft were a great duo.
When my parents were alive they often rented a place at South Lake Tahoe for the summer. My wife and I would go there from the Bay Area for long weekends. Idyllic.

We live another batter.
Rats, to quote Link.
Lasorda used to say that as well
A walk rally
Well the game changed rather quickly.
I’d love a couple of runs here just to keep things interesting.
Agullar not quite as big as Thames.
Meanwhile, two hits…
A Small Thing, but Mine Own–Joc and Cory
Well, I thought we’d lose yesterday’s and win today’s so there ya go.
Yep.
Rats.
Good move… Get the next out. But Braun is gonna be motivated.
Pick your poison.
Pass on lefty on lefty and go to lefty on righty + pride
Yelich managed two dingers off of southpaw Ryu.
Caleb actually better against righties.
Quick wits, Ferguson.
Caleb keeps his cool.
Speaking of Dodger highlights—Gale looks like a good defensive catcher
Given his general inability to hit major league pitching, he’d better be good defensively.
Pretty lackluster offense tonight.
Joc with the Soriano leap and catch.
I didn’t like it.
Good job by Ryu especially coming off IL.
Nice job off the IL.
Only way to deal with Yelich is to make sure nobody is on base.
Or hide his flaxseed oil?
Two solos. Minimum damage. Yelich is good.
Gnats lose again, game called after six in Pittsburgh because of rain.
Geeze Turner looked bad at that at bat!
We continue to hit balls right at them.
Joc hit it hard but again at somebody.

Ryu! Good job!
One more out Ryu. Don’t let Yelich get another chance, please.
Good thinking.
Anderson did so much better than his first inning indicated. Maybe he’ll move back into their starting pitcher roster.
Yelich has hit all his dingers in their bandbox.
Couldn’t Ryu have pitched around him with two outs and nobody on base? (Not watching or listening.)
It barely got out.
OK, thanks.
If, as Counsell said, Anderson can go 75 pitches today, that’ll take him into the third inning.
Most he has gone is around 40, so Craig being optimistic.
The number of pitches thrown when the Dodgers are at bat this season is greater than any other team in the National League.
Got 80 out of him!
Relentless.
