Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1924 The Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) take a twin bill from the Braves, sweeping their fourth doubleheader in four consecutive days. Between September 1-3, the Brooks beat the Phillies six times.
- 1966 The Dodgers become the first team to draw two million fans at home and two million on the road as 18,670 Crosley Field patrons watch Los Angeles beat their hometown Reds, 8-6.
- 1969 After thirty-one games, the third longest consecutive game hitting streak in National League history ends as Dodger Willie Davis is stopped by Dick Kelley and Gary Ross in a 3-0 loss to the Padres.
- 2017 J.D. Martinez becomes the 18th major leaguer, joining Reds utilityman Scooter Gennett as the second player this season, to hit four home runs in one game when he goes deep in the top of the ninth inning In the Diamondbacks’ 13-0 rout of the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. The Arizona outfielder, who was acquired in a trade from the Tigers in July, has one more home run than the opponent’s total amount of hits.

MAGIC NUMBER UPDATE: Following today’s results, it’s now 10 over the Pads, 3 over the Gnats and 2 over the Snakes. I was hoping to clinch against the Gnats on Labor Day, but that’ll only be a tie.
For best NL record, it’s 21 over the Mutts and 20 over the Barves (who are now just a game behind NYM).

Woo-HOO!!!
Kimbrel-proof?
So, is this lead Bickford-proof?
He got one.
He got three!
Killer lineup. No reprieve.
Trayce!!!!!
“¡Esa pelota nunca volverá!”
JT to the rescue.
This is not great. I spoke too soon.
Looking a bit better now.
This is an agonizing inning.
Ugh.
Five Dodger pitchers – so far so good.
Hi WBB. Glad you are holding down the fort. I’ll be back in LA tomorrow and hopefully freer to post.
I’ll be in Reno as we start a US 50 roadtrip to Great Basin NP, Mesa Verde, Leadville and Denver, then back on US 40. My presence will be sporadic.
Sounds like fun. I love a good road trip!
It’s gonna be bloody hot except for Leadville (12,000 feet above sea level).
Goooooooo Bluuuuuuuue!
