Dodgers at Cubs, 11:20 AM PDT, TV: Marquee Sports Network, SPNLA
RHP Dustin May (1-1, 3.00 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and RHP Hayden Wesneski (1-0, 6.23 ERA) goes for the Cubbies.
- 1898 Today marks the first time two no-hitters occur on the same day when Orioles (NL) right-hander Jay Hughes and Reds southpaw Theodore Breitenstein keep their opponents hitless, beating the Beaneaters, 8-0, and the Pirates, 11-0, respectively. A double no-no on the same date will not happen again until June 29, 1990, when A’s Dave Stewart and Dodger Fernando Valenzuela accomplish the feat with gems against the Blue Jays and Cardinals.
- 2007 The Red Sox become the fifth big-league team to hit four consecutive homers in an inning when Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek go deep with two outs in the third inning at Fenway off Yankee starter Chase Wright. J.D. Drew was also part of the quartet of the 2006 Dodgers, who were the fourth major league team to connect for four straight round-trippers in one frame.

More funner toay
James says not today Max!!
This Outman kid might be pretty good.
And James follows suit.
Max!
Some icing from Max.
Three nervy outs left.

Make that 10 dingers and no doubles.
The Muncy Mash. Wah-Ooh.
That’s how you bring them home, Max!
Yes!
Rally killer.
Bit of a high wire act by Vesia but escaped.
Vesia bears down!
Bears down on cubs
Bull market for Dodgers so far. Bull, Bear, Bull, Bear, Bull, Bear, Bull, Bear,
Can even throwing it straight down the middle get you a called strike?
Ball 3 and 4 both strikes. Good Grief.
Don’t want to know the odds were on CT and Barnes both striking out there. Too high for my liking I’m guessing.
Do the maths.
My back of the envelope is 8% (Sam not really a K machine).
Good point.
Thanks, Rook.
Going to lean on the bullpen again today.
Bring him home Max.
OUTrageously fun.
Where would the Dodgers be withOUT him?
Ok. I admit it. That’s a bit much for a single. But I saw in play run(s) and was hopefully for another hr.
We’ll take it – especially after yesterday.
Wish we could have had JD double in the first and line out to second this at bat.
But I’ll make do with this.
James Outman: ROY or MVP?
Yes
OUTstanding!!!
May got out of it. Took more pitches to do it than Wesneski but he actually had a better ball/strike ratio.
Cheap enough for both clubs so far. Still have no idea what kind of game this one will be.
Wild and woolly perhaps.
May isn’t sharp but, like Urías yesterday, he’s not getting any calls.
May need to draw May a map of where the strike zone is.
1 run out of all that feels like a big miss.
It wasn’t JD’s fall – he destroyed the pitch.
Despite bad luck, one run scores.
Did the first baseman step on the bag and remove the force at second so you had the rundown?
Or more likely, did the second baseman miss second on the initial relay?
Scorched liner to 2B – if it got past him, it goes to the wall. Got force at second and threw to first for DP.
Ok, so gameday is all messed up in its description. Thanks.
Gameday has been a mess all year so far.
Believe it is due to whom ever is inputting the info and not a system issue per se.
