Game 58, 2022

Dodgers at Giants, 7:15 PM PDT, TV: NBCS BA, SPNLA

RHP Walker Buehler (6-2, 3.84 ERA) goes for the Visiting Dodgers while RHP Jakob Junis (3-1, 2.51 ERA) does so for the Giants. Despite his W-L record, neither the Dodgers nor Buehler think he’s found his stride so far this season. HIs last start was the worst of the year; he didn’t get out of the third inning and gave up five runs on five hits before being pulled from the game. Junis is a reclamation project; after five years of mostly starting for the Royals and compiling a 32-36, 4.64 ERA record, he signed a 1-year deal with the Giants in the off-season. He didn’t do well at AAA Sacramento but was called up anyway. He’s relying far more on his slider and his changeup than ever before and it’s been successful for him.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 2012 Bobby Abreu, who was tied with Mickey Mantle for 109th place on the all-time hit list, surpasses the Yankee legend with a second-inning double in L.A.’s 8-2 interleague victory over Seattle at Safeco Field. The 38 year-old outfielder has collected 2,416 hits playing for the Astros, Phillies, Yankees, Angels, and Dodgers.
