Tigers at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: BS Detroit, MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA
The visiting Tigers give the ball to RHP Beau Brieske (0-1, 5.40 ERA); the 24-year-old will be making his second big league start. He’ll face the Dodgers’ LHP Clayton Kershaw (3-0, 2.65 ERA), who’s ten years older and fifteen years into a Hall of Fame career.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1940 The Dodgers tie the major league mark for consecutive wins from the beginning of the season with style as James ‘Tex’ Carleton no-hits the Reds, 3-0, for the team’s ninth straight victory since Opening Day.
- 1944 In the first game of a doubleheader split, first baseman Phil Weintraub gets 11 RBIs, and player-manager Mel Ott scores six runs, drawing five walks in the Giants’ 26-8 rout of the Dodgers. Brooklyn wins the nightcap 5-4 in a game shortened due to darkness.
- 1988 Dave Winfield ties the major league RBI record for April established by Dodger infielder Ron Cey in 1977 and matched by Dale Murphy of the Braves in 1985. The right fielder, who was on base at least once in every game, drives in his 28th and 29th runs of the month in the Yankees’ 15-3 rout of Texas in New York.
