Game 101, 2019

Marlins at Dodgers, 6:10 PM PDT, TV: FS-F, SPNLA

RHP Sandy Alcantara (4-9, 3.94 ERA) pitches for the Marlins while LHP Clayton Kershaw (8-2, 3.00 ERA) goes for the Dodgers. This is already Alcantara’s third start since the All Star break, and he’s had trouble in his first two. He’s got a 4.63 ERA in 11 2/3 innings. He’s never faced the Dodgers. Kershaw has given up just one earned run in each of his last two outings and has five outings of one earned run or less this season. He’s posted a 2.76 ERA against the Marlins in his career but has just a 5-5 record against them.

Here’s Ryu’s work Friday night in one clip:

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1906 At St. Louis, Brooklyn hurler Mal Eason no-hits the Cardinals, 2-0. The ‘Kid’ was the losing pitcher when Johnny Lush pitched a no-hitter against the Superbas (Dodgers) in May.
  • 1951 In a game against the Reds with All-Star hurler Ewell Blackwell on the mound, the Giants, for the first time, employ their infamous scheme for stealing catchers’ signs using a telescope positioned in the centerfield clubhouse. The ‘Jints’ beat Cincinnati, 11-6, and New York will win 22 of the remaining 27 games at the Polo Grounds, overtaking the Dodgers to win the National League pennant.
  • 1970 Twenty-six year-old right-hander Bill Singer pitches the first Dodger no-hitter since Sandy Koufax’s departure when he keeps the Philadelphia batters hitless in a 5-0 victory at Chavez Ravine. The ‘Singer Throwing Machine,’ who spent 52 days on the disabled list earlier in the season recuperating from hepatitis, posts a 5-0 record along with a 1.84 ERA in July and will be named NL Player of the Month.
  • 2008 The Dodgers, with a five-run ninth-inning rally at Chase Field, beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5, and move into a flat-footed tie (48-50) with Arizona for first place in the National League West. Andre Ethier has the key hit in the comeback victory, a go-ahead triple off the center-field wall, as D-Back closer Brandon Lyon, pitching in his third consecutive game, couldn’t hold a three-run lead.
