Diamondbacks at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports Arizona, MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA
RHP Merrill Kelly (2-4, 5.24 ERA) pitches for the D-Backs and the Dodgers send LHP David Price (1-0, 5.06 ERA) to make his first start after eight appearances out of the bullpen.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1979 Don Sutton becomes the franchise’s winningest pitcher when he is credited with the victory, tossing eight innings in the Dodgers 6-4 victory over the Reds at Riverfront Stadium. The 34 year-old right-hander’s 210th win surpasses the team mark established in 1969 by Don Drysdale.

K enley.
Dodgers with 10 strikeouts.
David Price gets his first start ever in a Dodger uniform. https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1395505816652771329?s=20
They bumped Bauer back a day so he could start the opener vs. the Giants tomorrow night. He will be followed by Buehler and Urias. The Giants will go with Wood, TBD and DeSclafani. Unless he is injured, I expect Webb will be their TBD.
Webby went on their injured list today. No schedule yet for attaching the prosthetic.
Thanks for the update. I wonder if it will be a bullpen game for them.
Bullpen really showed up tonight.
Whoopee!
Good home stand with an 8-1 record. (One untimely 3 run home run from Adam Duval away from going 9-0.)
Woo-HOO!!!
Jansen now alone in 20th place all time for saves with 322. He untied himself from Jose Mesa. Next up: Huston Street with 324.
Dodgers win (a 1 run game)!!!
Yippee!! Sweep!!
WBB’s favorite up next.
Lol
2 away.
Got Reddick. Always nice to see.
SIGH!!
Couple of insurance runs would be huge right now.
Now would be a good time for Turner to break out.
Wonder if they can score enough to give Jansen a night off before going to SF?
Definately would be better to not use him tonight. Have him fresh for the Gnats.
Mookie couldn’t score?
Who the heck is/was Vesia?
Mookie is really in a funk right now. Hope he breaks out of it against the Gnats.
I sat down to put formula into my feeding tube just in time to see Smith’s HR.
Now that’s a fan.
Grins.
Yay Willie. What a peg.
Got him!
Thank goodness for Will.
Pujols be like “my work tonight is done.”
Make that 11.
Now what? No eyes.
Wonder if he would have done that an inning earlier if Max hadn’t gotten picked off first? #schrodingersbat
I totally called that one in my mind!
Will Smith!
Atta Boy Willy!!
Get it all out of your system tonight, Dodgers.
Agreed! (But, still you know, win.)
Absolutely.
So after 6 innings, the story of the game is Kelly 2 run HR allowed and Kelly 2 run HR allowed.
Clever.
C’mon Max. Geez!!
Still 3 more innings to go before it might happen – but Dodgers don’t have a walk off win yet. They do have 4 walk off loses though.
Alright Victor!
Whew!!
LA doing their best AZ impression.
Kelly melt-down?
First Kelly then the fielders.
They’re doing a darn good job of it.
Argh. I look away to call home and then…
Meatball. Back to the drawing board. Kinda figured we would need more than 2 runs to win this game.
I was hopeful that AZ would just roll over.
Me too.
Albert! Wish I’d had eyes for that one.
Vesia not too bad when he doesn’t walk batters.
Pujols goes back to hitting grounders…
Crowd not very too friendly toward the old friend.
Astro
He stunk with the Dodgers. Then played for the cheaters. He’s a bum.
Turner is really struggling. Hasn’t had an RBI in a week and only 2 in the last two weeks.
Guess Price is a bullpen starter, not a regular starter.
Hot Dog!!! And against a righty.
That came out of nowhere.
Except for 667 ones before it… 😉
I was thinking of how its been a parade of ground balls as a Dodger.
You aren’t wrong.
Pujols!!
An adventurous first inning, but the good result.
Both hits off the sinker.
I have a feeling Price is on a short leash. This is almost a spring training kind of start I bet.
You won’t hear me around until very late, as we’re going to watch the game over dinner at a friend’s house and I don’t want to be a distraction.
