Padres at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: BSSD, MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA
LHP Blake Snell (1-5, 4.89 ERA) pitches for the visiting Padres and RHP Dustin May (4-1, 2.68 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers.
- 1956 At Ebbets Field, Carl Erskine tosses his second career no-hitter when he holds the crosstown rival Giants hitless in the Dodgers’ 3-0 victory. The right-handed ‘Oisk’ also threw a no-no against the Cubs in 1952.
- 1958 In a 12-3 rout of their West Coast rival, Willie Mays homers twice against the Dodgers in the LA Memorial Coliseum contest. The ‘Say Hey Kid’s’ second round-tripper, a fifth-inning shot off Ed Roebuck, is the first grand slam ever hit by a San Francisco Giant.
- 1979 Bill Murray, anchorman on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update reports 42 year-old Chico Escuela (a fictional baseball player portrayed by Garrett Morris) has informed the Mets that he is quitting baseball. Although baseball has been “berra berra good…” to him, a crushing blow off the bat of Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey into the Dominican’s infielder’s crotch ends an inspiring comeback.
- 1990 Blanking the Dodgers at Shea Stadium, 7-0, Frank Viola gets his seventh consecutive win from the start of the season. The Mets southpaw sets a franchise record of nine straight victories, dating back to his past two decisions last season.
- 2004 In one of the most remarkable at-bats in big league history, Alex Cora fouls off 14 consecutive pitches and then hits the 18th thrown to him by the Cubs’ Matt Clement over the right-field fence for a two-run home run which doubles LA’s lead to 4-0. The Dodger Stadium crowd cheered each foul ball, watching the increasing total displayed on the scoreboard.
- 2015 Giancarlo Stanton becomes the fourth player to hit a home run out of Dodger Stadium, joining Mark McGwire (1999), Mike Piazza (1997), and Willie Stargell, who accomplished the feat twice (1969, 1973). The jaw-dropping first-inning blast off Mike Bolsinger, estimated to have traveled 475 feet, proves to be the only bright spot in the Marlins’ 11-1 loss to LA at Chavez Ravine.

NPUT
Trayce is not an elite CF. Cruz’s single was a makeable play, but he just waited to play it on a bounce. And then he misplays a ball to let a slow runner go to third.
Bring. Back. Belli.
Three plays today that CT3 or Outman would’ve made in CF.
Trayce needs a change of scenery. OKC or another team…
Machado Carne Putrida……
podrida…
Productive out for Munce. Gets the runner to 3rd with one out.
Satisfying win.

Rolling down Imperial Highway.
Lakers doing well as well
Dodgers win!
Woo-HOO!!!
Odor is giving us fits this game.
Hopefully in a losing cause…
4 outs on 7 pitches is pretty efficient.
There’s two!
Phillips has been a phind.
Absolutely.
There’s one!
That was deeper than I thought it was going to be. But still easy for Mookie.
On to the 9th. Lock it down EP.
Relax Max.
Machado apesta.
Der säuckt.
Ja
Heute fahre ich nach Berlin.
Viel Spaß
SA-WEET!!!
Let’s go!
Great. DP now please.
Tatís will steal second.
Now who’s calling it?!?!?!
Would love to double up Machado.
Thank you!!
Fine future person!
And there you go!
Come on, Dodgers. Don’t let this slip away, please.
We don’t need no stupid RISP.
It’s called the batter’s box. Lol
Tim Hill is not a fireman. He’s an arsonist.
Fahrenheit 451 style.
Burning the Padres’ Bibles?
What do you mean?
Do you know what happens in Fahrenheit 451?
I’m a big Ray Bradbury fan, so yeah.
Just not sure why you brought Bibles into it.
They’re not books?
Curious choice that’s all. And so I asked what you meant by it. That’s all
What books did the Padres bring to California?
Thanks for coming out Tim Hill.
Baby backs!
I called it below, by the way…
Yes you did!
Back to back!!!
FREDDIE!!!!
Adios Pelota..
Jon Miller is the best thing about the Gnats.
MOOKIE! Just. Like. That.
Bye bye baby!
Mookie!
Mooookie!
Trayce still dragging around that 0 fer streak.
Get this third out please. Then get a few back!
And just like that
Well phooey. Pinch runner came in for the tying run.
Heartbreaking for Dustin.
He was safe.
As Joe Schultz would say…
Rats!!
Get Kim and then call it a night Dustin.
He’s struggling now.
Dustin having to work a bit harder now.
Pitch counts are closer now between Snell and May.
Not that close, and May is an inning ahead.
Closer than I would like….
91 pitches for Snell
55 pitches for May.
See Willie run!
4 am was game time in Prague, and my internal alarm went off.
It’s a little surprising that Snell, with a high pitch count, gets to face the order a third time.
CT3 run prevention.
I missed it. Offensively or defensively?
Good one. LOL
Reputation based. Soto didn’t want to test his arm.
He’s made some great throws from left field.
Strong throw but off-line enough that Soto probably would’ve scored.
Nice Freddie.
Wasted opportunity.
CT3 sez hello and welcome to Snell.
Bellinger showing improvement.
I think Steph and Draymond and Klay would womp these guys.
