Padres at Dodgers, 6:10 PM PDT, TV: BS SD, SPNLA
LHP Sean Manaea (7-7, 4.90 ERA) goes for the Padres and LHP Julio Urías (14-7, 2.32 ERA) goes for the Dodgers.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1917 Grover Cleveland Alexander goes the distance in both games of the Phillies’ doubleheader sweep of Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. In his 18 innings of work, the Philadelphia right-hander limits the Dodgers to seven hits en route to posting 5-0 and 9-3 victories in the twin bill.
- 1956 In front of the largest regular-season crowd in County Stadium history, the league-leading Braves split a twin bill with the Reds, 5-3 and 5-7. Much to the delight of many of the 47,604 fans attending the Labor Day double-dip, the home team ends the day 3.5 games in front of Cincinnati and the Dodgers, but Milwaukee will finish the season in second place, winning only 11 of 23 of its remaining games.
- 1978 At Dodger Stadium, Lee Mazzilli becomes the first Mets player to hit a home run from each side of the plate in a game. The center fielder’s first and seventh inning blasts, respectively hit off southpaw Tommy John and right-hander Charlie Hough, pace the last-place club to an 8-5 victory.

Alcantara got shelled yesterday, so Julito takes over ERA leaderboard.
I wanted the Fish to win 12-11, with all the runs off Alcántara.
Goodness gracious, what a reversal from yesterday!
