Dodgers at Red Sox, 4:10 PM PDT, TV: NESN, SPNLA, FB-Watch
In a rematch of last year’s World Series, the NL West-leading Dodgers face the AL East-third place Red Sox. The Dodgers send RHP Kenta Maeda (7-4, 3.76 ERA) to the hill at Fenway Park to try to get a win. His last one was on May 31. He’s lost three of the six starts he’s made since then, but he allowed just a .182 batting average and compiled a 4.05 ERA in those games. The Sox counter with LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (9-4, 4.65 ERA), who was inconsistent during the first half but has had a 3.75 ERA since May 26.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1966 The National League All-Stars edge the AL, 2-1, in a game played at the newly-built Busch Stadium when hometown favorite Tim McCarver scores the winning run on Dodger shortstop Maury Wills’s tenth-inning walk-off single, with Giants hurler Gaylord Perry getting the victory by tossing a scoreless ninth and tenth inning. The 105-degree weather, 113 degrees on the playing surface, results in nearly 150 people needing treatment for heat exhaustion.

I am not so much loving this every score is from the long ball trend. I miss small ball and scoring with singles and doubles etc.
“It’s Fenway, Jake.”
Kiké and Barnes picking up right where they left off. Unfortunately.
Barnes hit the ball fairly well, but Devers made a good play (and throw).
True. But I’m practicing my complaints for future moments.
Oh well. I will watch in the morning.
What a shame.
Nice Alex! One handed.
Facebook just lost the video stream, so instead I’m watching some little kid slurping soup. Not a fan.
Verdugo!!!!!
Hey, spoiler alert! 🙂
Better than soup!
I wish we’d gotten one in the first. We don’t seem to score much for Kenta.
Wow, that neither looked nor sounded like a ball that was going out of the stadium!
Neither did Bucky Dent’s. It’s Fenway.
Orel agrees with me.
Bad future person!
Sorry sorry sorry.
You sound like Harry Shearer…
Haha.
Well, that was no fun at all.
According to Tim N on the radio including today the Dodgers have played 12 games at Fenway in the 100-plus years of its existence. Their record is 1-11.
Which means we will win tomorrow!
I suppose we’ve been due a slump. Would like this to end tomorrow however.
Looks like we are about to lose four in a row.
Sorry I checked back in. My goodness, what happened?

Literally nothing happening (except the rain).
And then a lot happened, apparently.
Coming up on 3am here. Will call it a morning after Turner, Belli and Max.
These red Sawx jerseys are almost as ugly as the Gnats’ orange ones.
Verdugo is our only hitter tonight (so far).
I am enjoying Tim N on the radio – obviously he knows his Boston related stuff.
But even in general I have grown to like him, his voice and cadence and personality.
Certainly superior to Steiner.
Almost, David… Okay, now I really am going to start my weights…
I’m 74 miles north of Boston and it is absolutely pouring with wind gusts. Fans would be scampering for cover if this hit Fenway.
I’m about to start exercising so no more future person for an hour or so. But this first – ugh!!!!!!
Grand Slam, dang it.
Two bloopers for the Sawx. One bad ball call was the difference in the AB.
Ahhh, Pantone is here!
Hoping for another good Maeda outing.
Old friends Chase De Jong, Matt Kemp and Wilmer Font all released today according to Trade Rumors.
I guess Kemp’s been battling a broken rib. Tough to hear this, though.
I was gonna say, I didn’t realize we even had Josh Thole (aka R.A. Dickey’s personal catcher when he beat Clayton for the Cy Young).
Rats. But good at bats to make Rodriguez work.
The game is also viewable on Facebook, with no blackouts in Southern California. https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1149725186960183297?s=20
Hey, that actually works, even here in Rhody. No HD, and the sound is muffled. but it’s definitely Joe and Orel.
Glad to hear. You’re in Providence, or elsewhere?
I hear lots of Dodger fans!
Freese, on the other hand…
Just checked pitch location. Seager swung at one down the middle and Freese took 4 pitches well outside the K zone,
I just did the same thing!
Corey missed the “patience” memo…
He goes after more pitches than most it seems
I will be attending the game tomorrow in Fenway
Wow!
I attended my only Fenway game in April of 1984. I drove up and parked immediately outside the park, then walked up and purchased a ticket.
The good old days. That pretty much ended around 2000. There used to be all sorts of places to park for free near the park (old industrial complexes, mostly), but they were all developed. If I were to go I’d take the T in from Quincy.
I’m driving in and walking to the ballpark from Financial District but will use UBER to get back to car. I used Stubhub for tickets. Nothing as easy as it was.
Free Game of the Day on MLBTV (along with every other game today).
Unless you live in New England, and then bupkis.
That would be me
And me.
Hope to catch at least the first inning of this one.
Maybe it will be a good one
