Game 44, 2021

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.

    • 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.

  1. Good home stand with an 8-1 record. (One untimely 3 run home run from Adam Duval away from going 9-0.)

  2. Jansen now alone in 20th place all time for saves with 322. He untied himself from Jose Mesa. Next up: Huston Street with 324.

    • 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.

  3. Mookie is really in a funk right now. Hope he breaks out of it against the Gnats.

  4. Wonder if he would have done that an inning earlier if Max hadn’t gotten picked off first? #schrodingersbat

  5. So after 6 innings, the story of the game is Kelly 2 run HR allowed and Kelly 2 run HR allowed.

  6. 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.

  7. Meatball. Back to the drawing board. Kinda figured we would need more than 2 runs to win this game.

  8. Turner is really struggling. Hasn’t had an RBI in a week and only 2 in the last two weeks.

  9. I have a feeling Price is on a short leash. This is almost a spring training kind of start I bet.

  10. 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.
