Dodgers at Rockies, 5:30 PM PDT, TV: ATT SportsNet RM, SPNLA
LHP Tyler Anderson (10-1, 2.79 ERA) pitches for the visiting Dodgers and José Ureña (1-2, 3.13 ERA) does so for the Rockies. Anderson was an All Star but didn’t make an appearance in the game; in his one start since he went six innings, gave up four hits and one run and got no decision. Ureña was DFAed by the Brewers in May when roster sizes were reduced. He signed a minor league deal with the Rockies almost immediately and was called up in July; he’s made four starts since. In those starts he gave up 9 runs on 23 hits in 24 innings.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1991 Expos right-hander Dennis Martinez pitches a perfect game, defeating Los Angeles 2-0 at Dodger Stadium. Ron Hassey becomes the first backstop to ever catch two perfect games, as he also was behind the plate on May 15, 1981 when Indian hurler Len Barker faced 27 batters, beating the Blue Jays, 3-0.
- 2017 Alex Wood won his twelfth game against just one loss, going seven innings while giving up eight hits and four runs to the Giants. The Dodgers came from behind with four runs in the seventh and won 6-4.

After last night’s blowout, Dodgers not only continue to have baseball’s best record, but they’re closing on the Yanquis in run differential – it’s now 197 to 192.
NPUT
A Gnatfan tells it like it is. https://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/This-SF-Giants-team-is-absolutely-miserable-to-17338177.php
Righties biting on that change up.
You get Tyler Anderson 13 runs, and he can be tough.
Not your stereotypical Mile High rally.
Hey AF. Resign Trea. Forget about Soto and Otani. Get bullpen help.
A shutout? At Coors Field?
Nomo chuckles.
Sweet.
Woo-HOO!!
Who knew Alberto could pitch?
Dodgers win!
2 away.
Rogers is 4-4. The rest of the team is 2 for 26.
That should be an error.
I like to leave it to the professionals to figure it out.
Dodgers have scored 13 runs, in Denver, with no homers.
Go Hanser.
His era is better than Reed’s.
LOL
They’re part of the same era, but his pitching stats are better.
Alberto in to pitch.
Way to go Tyler
Freddie’s 400th career double.
Do the Freddie.
Seeing that promo for a Freddie Freeman bobblehead reminds me that I had three of those things way back in 1962. Back then, though, they weren’t player-specific. They looked like Bob’s Big Boy facially. I had one each with Dodgers and Angels ballcaps and a Rams helmet.
Amazing, considering that Freddie wasn’t even born until 1989.
Did I say one of those earlier ones was of Freeman? What are you suggesting?
Your grammatical antecedent was “Freddie Freeman bobblehead.”
Followed by “back then they weren’t player-specifiic.”
Yes, I could have been more precise, but my subsequent language described what I had, I thought.
Everyone knew what you meant.
I remember when you could get NFL mini helmets in gumball machines for a quarter.
Even at Coors this is a comfortable lead.
When it rains it pours. BTW what is the forecast?
The forecast says mostly cloudy. There’s been just .05″ of rain in the last 24 hours.
Eric Stephen: Colorao Rockies?
Trea with the slide!
Trea is a phenomenal baserunner.
That slide was a beautiful thing.
Will!
To use WBB’s favourite term – the Rockies are playing a lot of counter-factual baseball tonight with all those errors.
Or is that not how it works?
Their errors are fact(ual).
Max leads the team in dWAR.
He’s no dWARf…
Beautiful play by Muncy there!
Look what Anderson found! Lol
Would anyone here include Dustin May in a trade for Soto?
Straight up, maybe.
I’m thinking the Nats say no to that idea – but yeah I would go for that too – maybe.
May could be a truly dominant starter, but there’s likely greater injury risk than to Soto.
Good point.
Meanwhile, Bobby Miller, someone more likely one included in a Soto package, takes a perfecto into the 5th and finishes with 12 K’s for Tulsa tonight.
I would not.
Maybe Lamb can get 2 RBI’s this at bat.
Counter-factual…
Nope
Meanwhile, in OKC, https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1552822368925634560?s=20&t=ntZvFddFkU6ITzIbXUZbYg
That is such welcome news! I have missed Big Red.
Rockies, as mentioned below by WBB, playing a very sluggish, tired game so far.
Trea!!! Woot!
The Rox won at home yesterday, but they’re looking jet-lagged.
Oh dang. Mookie smoked that one! But right into a glove.
Belli – HBT (hit by throw!)
How much longer will Roberts stick with Max, I wonder.
As well as they’re playing, they can give him a long leash.
Nice start by Anderson
Poor Jake Lamb. He could of had 2 rbi with that hit.
Counter-factual history in action!
Counter-factual?
In 1980, I passed up a chance to see what turned out be Jerry Reuss’s no-hitter at Candlestick. When I mentioned it to a baseball writer/poet friend the next day, he remarked that no-hitters were such delicate events that my presence might have undermined. Likewise, if Turner and Freeman hadn’t already scored, Lamb’s result might well have been different.
Meh. Might well have been different is just another way of saying might well have been the same.
Lux is ranked 5th in the NL in BA and 7th in OBP.
So Petey in his debut at OKC got charged with a clock violation before even throwing his first pitch.
Kind of like getting a moving violation while you’re warning up the engine.

Following the Yanquis’ loss to the Mutts, the Dodgers once again have baseball’s best record.
