The Yankees give the ball to RHP Gerrit Cole (6-0, 2.93 ERA); the Dodgers hand theirs to the newly-activated RHP Michael Grove (0-1, 8.44 ERA).
- 1969 Tom Seaver strikes out 14 batters in eight innings en route to the Mets’ 5-2 win over LA at Shea Stadium. The victory, fueled by Ed Kranepool’s two home runs, improves the second-place team’s record to 24-23, the latest they have been above .500 in franchise history.
- 1989 In a 22-inning game played at the Astrodome, Houston beats the Dodgers, 5-4, when Rafael Ramirez’ run-scoring single plates Bill Doran to end the contest at 2:50 a.m., seven hours and 14-minutes after it started. The longest game in National League history features L.A. center fielder John Shelby going 0-for-10 and southpaw Fernando Valenzuela finishing the game at first base.

NPUT
Well, at least the Snakes lost.
V-Gone. Good grief. Tay was doing just fine Doc.
Ugh. How did Judge catch that???
Outman butchers one but, in the end, it doesn’t matter.
And now Trayce has strained his oblique and is headed for the IL
Walks will do that.
Might allow Outman more time with Dodgers.
Go Braves!! Go Cubs!!
And Orioles!
Another Bauer(s) haunts us.
ESPN will be happy that each team has won one game; increases possible eyeballs on tomorrow’s SNB game.
A better game than the score would indicate.
Top of the order, 1 thru 5 failed us today.
That doesn’t help.
Doc saving the bullpen.
Not going to win many games when Betts, Freddie, Muncy, and Will are 2 for 14 with 5
K’s.
Another terrible night with RISP. 1 for 10. 7 LOB. 8 SO.
Vargas, you gotta defend the plate better than that.
Foo
Bullpen interference.
Judge 1: Fence 0.
Robo-Umps can’t get here soon enough. Two clear balls to Muncy called strikes.
Karma for Muncy after that awful call by the ump.
OBP…
We can still win this if we keep them scoreless.
Yep. Gotta hold’em here.
Smitty gets hosed.
Just looked at GameDay. I’ll say!
Ridiculous.
Sigh…
Durn
¡Minga!
Still solid contact, but…
Here we go…
Vamos, ¡Doyers!
Barnes or OUtman?
Pinched hit for Heyward and Peralta with a righty bat.
Forgot about Thompson
No idea why they would pull Cole at 80 pitches and doing so well…
Vargas rbi triple!

Cole is pretty much unhittable today.
Hope he doesn’t go 9
Dodgers have gotten hits, but not much hard contact.
Five runs on five hits=dinger time.
Sigh. Saw that one coming, for some reason.
Box score for Devil Rays and Sawx first game indicates that Quique has 13 errors on the season. How is that possible?
No matter the final outcome, Grove has shown a lot.
What to do about Outman? He has lost his grip on the strike zone.
I hope he stays in the lineup.
Slugger up
Slugger down
Smith’s approach gets him base hits whereas Taylor’s approach is so single minded.
Taylor’s approach got him a single…
Squirrel
Interesting how a pitcher can breeze through a lineup piling up strikeouts and getting weak contact and still be plagued by two swings.
I daresay Grove won’t face Bauers a third time.
Wasn’t even a bad pitch, but Bauer was sitting on it, seems like.
Grove!
Growing on me.
Perfect pitch to OUtman for the K. Joe just said James has to lay off the high pitch as that is the one he is struggling with and then Cole, right on cue, throws one above James shoulders and then breaks down into the strike zone.
We will take it!
Lucky hit, alert baserunning.
Not a repeat of yesterday’s first inning
Some hard contact, but Grove has a clean inning.

I thought Klayton got benefit of the doubt yesterday, but… https://twitter.com/UmpScorecards/status/1665004598220734465?s=20

Tougher pitching matchup than yesterday, but Cole wasn’t great his last time out.
