Astros at Dodgers, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: Fox
RHP Ronel Bianco (1-0, 4.66 ERA) takes the hill for the Astros and RHP Bobby Miller (3-1, 2.83 ERA) does so for the Dodgers.
From the Dodgers’ celebration of The Infield this weekend:
- 1947 At Forbes Field, Jackie Robinson steals home in the Dodgers’ 4-2 victory over the Pirates. It is the Brooklyn infielder’s first theft of the dish, something the rookie will accomplish 19 times during his ten-year career.
- 2018 The Dodgers tie a National League record, last accomplished by the 2006 Braves, when the team socks seven solo shots, dealing the Mets a crushing 8-7 loss at Citi Field. Former New York infielder Justin Turner delivers the decisive dinger in the top of the twelfth inning to complete the series sweep and extend the team’s consecutive win streak over the Amazins to twelve straight victories.
- 2021 At Dodger Stadium, Cubs starter Zach Davies tosses six spotless innings, with Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin, and Craig Kimbrel each adding a hitless frame for the 17th and the first combined no-hitter in franchise history. Chicago’s 4-0 victory marks the seventh major league no-no this season, equaling the record established in 1990, 1991, 2012, and 2015.
Lineups when available.
Bligh Madris will make his Astros debut tonight.

You wine folk might want to try Paradise Springs Winery‘s offerings. I’ve had their Virginia wine and enjoyed it. They also have vineyards in Santa Barbara.
Dodgers outhit 13-5.
And all Dodgers hits were for extra bases.
Dave and son (and RBI and Scoop) saw a great one (and directly contributed to the winning run scoring).
Live from Dodger Stadium – Dodgers WIN!!!
What a game! And we were there!!!!!
Woo-HOO!!!!’
How sweet it is!
Lots of players contributing to the win.
Take that, Trashtros! Lo siento mucho, Basurasteriscos!

Awesome game
Smoooooth Mooookie.
Tremendous DP!
And timely.
Nice recovery by Phillips.
For the ninth I have switched to red wine (Zinfandel), with a bite of dark chocolate (sea salt and almonds).
What’s a good one? I find them a bit on the sweet side, though the same variety is used in Puglia for a dry and full-bodied wine.
I ran out of Uruguayan Tannat, so this is from Shenandoah Vineyards in Amador County, Inexpensive but passable.
Before that I was doing a Luigi Bosca Torrontés from Mendoza.
Also, used to decant tannant and serve it to our Argentine guests so that they could rave about it and then almost choke when I said it was from Uruguay.
Haven’t tried that Luigi Bosca. Back in the day (97-99), we drank their malbec as well as an unfiltered one from Finca Linda.
i like it a lot better than Susana Balbo’s. My favorite, though, remains the Etchart Cafayate Torrontés, which is a bargain choice in Palermo supermarkets.
Somebody hide the watercooler. Hot pitcher approaching
Stanek tossed! I blame RBI, Scoop and Dave and son.
Busch has proven a tough out.
Has really taken to playing third with little previous experience there.
Dave and gang with their cheering have rattled Stanek!
You can’t argue a balk, Dusty!
That thing they call a balk.
That spot on the field hurt Aaron Judge a couple of weeks ago and now it’s hurt the Dodgers (less than Judge, obviously).
A shame.
Didn’t Weird Game James get injured in that spot as well?
He banged against the concrete below the padding somewhere in RF and never was asked to play the outfield again as I remember.
Harper got injured out there as well. I think in his first game at DS.
Pads, who started a knuckleballer (what’s that?) trail old friend Josiah Grey 2-0 in the fifth.
Fun times at Dodger Stadium
Okay, you folks who are there, could you tell what happened? TV was quick to say the ball got caught in the fence.
Bounced and got stuck.
He’s back
James!
I thought that was in the gap
Very nearly was – nice catch by Tucker.
We need some quality futuring here.
Guy is throwing BBs!
This looks promising.
Excellent outing for Spicoli.
Spicoli?

Ah.
This is the second time Astros have changed pitchers with Mookie coming up.
Let’s go Dodgers!!’
This Peralta guy ain’t bad.
Busch is beginning to hit just in time for Muncy to take his place in the lineup.
Quite the lament. When he went down Max was 4th in RBIs in the NL with OPS .862 RISP.
And a .191 average
If you think that trumps the .861 OPS RISP for a cleanup hitter, you are watching a different game than I am.
I don’t like it. He had one hit in his last 18 at bats.
I can tell.
That’s a start!
Freddie’s gotta get this 2,000 hit monkey off his back.
And of course followed by a double. This is embarrassing.
Bregman is no less loathsome than Altuve.
Arghhh! He had it!
There’s still time, batters.
This is a fine how-de-do!
As Scoop says, “Wake up, Dave!”
Dave is sitting right next to you. Give him a nudge.
Yuck!
Disaster.
Very bad futuring!
Very bad pitching.
Miller will have ups and downs but, in the long run, his upside is among the highest.
Come on Bobby. We need a strikeout and a DP.
One-hopper to Bobby would work.
Sloppy!
Reporting live from Dodger Stadium. We don’t like Altuve.
Was wondering about the given name Bligh and of course his family is from a Pacific Island, Palau.
The Bounty of Palau.
Scoring runs in the 1st and scoring runs with two outs are characteristic of these Dodgers.
Blanco has his gopher ball working today.
Will!
Heckuva catch by that left-fielder robbing Mookie.
Can’t reach that one, though.
At the game with Scooplew, Winnipeg Dave and son of Winnipeg Dave and husband of RBI! Gooooo Blueeee!
And a fine job you are doing for the Dodgers
It’s about time you guys put down your beach balls and got us some more runs
Wish I were there. Might find my way south later this summer.
How loudly did you all boo Altuve?
Very.
Bregman is also highly deserving.
An efficient first for Mr Miller.
Young Mr Sheehan came up from AA Tulsa, but he was just one of a sextet of startlingly good pitchers:
