Rockies at Dodgers, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox
The Rockies hand the ball to rookie RHP Peter Lambert (2-0, 6.00 ERA). He’ll face one of the Dodgers’ potential All-Star Game starting pitchers, Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-1, 1.26 ERA). This will be Lambert’s third big league start; his first two were impressive, but the Padres hammered him for nine hits and eight runs in three innings in his last one. Ryu has given up one earned run in 20 innings this month and has only walked five men all year.
Here’s Matt Beaty’s walk-off HR from Friday night’s game:
Take note of Alanna Rizzo’s speed as Beaty is about to be doused with something during his post-game interview.

Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1936 At Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field, Ival Goodman hits an unusual home run when his fifth-inning fly ball lands and stays on top of the scoreboard in right field. With the perched ball considered in play, the three Dodger outfielders watch the Reds’ right fielder round the bases for an easy inside-the park round-tripper in their 7-2 loss to Cincinnati.
- 1947 After pitching a no-hitter four days ago against the Braves, Reds hurler Ewell Blackwell loses his chance for a second consecutive no-hitter when Dodger second baseman Eddie Stanky singles with one out the ninth inning at Crosley Field.
- 1959 Sandy Koufax goes the distance, beating Philadelphia at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, 6-2. The Dodger southpaw fans 16 Phillies to set a new record for strikeouts in a night game.
- 1966 At the Astrodome, Houston sets a home attendance mark which will last for 22 years. Dodger southpaw Sandy Koufax, who tosses a complete game to improve his record to 13-2, beats the hometown team, 5-2, in front of the 50,908 fans attending the Wednesday contest.

Missed another one. A extra inning walk off to boot, with a Kelly win! Can’t wait to read the comments.

Woo-HOO!!!
Verdugo for the win!
Kelly for the win!
Verdugo!!
Dodgers take the lead!
Dodgers win!
Good news!!
Let’s win it now!
Walk-it-off Joc
That pitch was wild even if it wasn’t a wild pitch.
Walks him on 4 pitches.
Would not want to be a hitter right now
Bad news. They didn’t score.
Good news. They have the top of the lineup for the bottom of the 11th.
Bad news Báez is out of the game.
Good news. The Dodgers are really good, especially at home.
Kelly time?
Bad news?
ERA = 6.66
perfect
Lower than that now.
So far, so good…
Shoot.
Bad future person!
Now up to Barnes.
Or a double steal.
Up to Martin to bring in Muncy.
M & M’s
Up to Martin to bring in Muncy.
Dang!
Bad future person!
Beaty at the bat…
Let’s go! 2 on and no outs.
Mary is doing extra innings
You gotta have Hart! All you really need is Hart!
Let’s get an extra inning walk off!
Admittedly, I was much more invested in it happening in the 9th inning last night than tonight!
Rats.
Bad future person!
Runners will be going…
Dang
JT completely overmatched.
Didn’t look good at all.
I just got here too! Let’s have another 9th inning walk off!
Just got back from an engagement party and am now engaged here. Joc gets it started.
Verdugo adds to the fire.
Beaty trying hard to assure the Dodgers that he belongs on the team.
He’s a short-term success, that’s for sure.
He’s making a pretty strong case.
CTK
Long AB, but Beaty picks him up!
Easy inning for Floro.
Worst AB I’ve ever seen from JT.
This last one was not great either.
That sucked, Caleb.
92 pitches thru 5 innings. I doubt we see Ryu in the sixth.
I expected he would get the sixth, and I was correct.
Yep. I’m surprised. I hope he gets out of this with no worse than a no-decision.
Pretty easy inning, but that’s about enough I expect.
Drat it, Matt.
Rookie mistake…

Ryu not as sharp as we are use to seeing him.
Also, betrayed by his D.
Taylor’s gotta do better than that.
Terrible call.
Good call. The ball was out of his glove before the toe hit the bag.
No, his foot was on the bag.
Not until after he lost the ball.
He was across the bag.
Agree to disagree.
If you’ve ever complained about the Dodgers’ bullpen, be grateful you’re not a Sawx fan today.
It’s an all-Dodger broadcast team of Joe Davis and Eric Karros.
I’ve got Yankees – Astros, drat it.
Don’t you have MLBTV?
No.
Sorry, but today’s free game is the Gnats and Snakes.
I’ve got it on the radio. Takes me back to when I was 10 years old.
Day-night Sunday doubleheader for me: 1:15am and 10:10pm.
From Corsica?
Of coursica.
