Dodgers at Baltimore, 4:05 PM PDT, TV: MASN, SPNLA, TBS (out-of-market only)
The former Robins send RHP Emmit Sheehan (2-0, 4.35 ERA) to the Camden Yards hill to face the former Browns’ RHP Grayson Rodriguez, (2-2, 7.24 ERA).
- 1954 With Jim Gilliam (2b), Jackie Robinson (3b), Sandy Amoros (lf), Roy Campanella (c), and Don Newcombe (p) in the starting lineup against the Braves, the Dodgers field the first team which consists of a majority of black players. The historic five helps Brooklyn to beat Milwaukee at County Stadium, 2-1.
- 1964 In Los Angeles, the Chavez Ravine contest becomes the first Pay-TV baseball game as Subscription Television offers the cablecast to subscribers for a fee. The Dodgers beat Chicago, 3-2, with Don Drysdale collecting 10 strikeouts.
- 1976 Walter Alston becomes the sixth skipper to win 2,000 games when the Dodgers overcome a four-run first inning deficit and beat Chicago at Chavez Ravine, 5-4. ‘Smokey’ will leave at the end of the season, finishing his 23-year tenure in his only managerial position in the majors with a 2,040-1,613 record (.558).
- 2021 The unveiling of Marc Melon’s sculpture A Handshake for a Century in Youngstown, OH immortalizes the handshake between Jackie Robinson and George Shuba after Robinson hits his first professional home run. ‘Shotgun’ Shuba extends his hand, marking the first welcoming gesture between a black and white player, while other teammates on the 1946 International League’s Montreal Royals fail to greet the rookie at home plate.

NPUT
Woo-HOO!!!!! CT3GS!!!!
Lot of left field out there.
I hope the ride home is a short one, Bob.
Happy one at least.
Ryan Brasier coming in to hopefully get the save.

This will be a tough series; Birds are greatly improved.
Bellinger is on fire. Gonna be a Yankee.
Only if he’s willing to shave.
Kudos to Sheehan. He could have imploded. But he kept his cool and kept us in the game… A great learning experience.
Where’s RBI? On the picket line?
En Italia.
Sleeping in Italy. It is 4:00am there.
Just like they drew it up in April: Sheehan with the W and Brasier with the S.
But of course!
Yay!! We win.
Revenge for 1966!
Dodgers win!!!
DP!!!
DP. Woooooot!
Total crap.
A walk is not a great way to start things off.
Weird way to get the walk charged to your pitching line.
That was bush, blue.
No cycle for Freddie. Grounds out to first.
Did it take four hops?
Yay Fergie.
On to the 9th.
Well I guess we got Marisnick for his bat – and not for his running.
It was a perfect throw that got him though
Absolutely. I was mostly just joking in my comment. (Not that anyone would be expected to know that only from what I said.)
I know you were and you made me laugh.
Thanks Bumsrap
Please, call me Bums 🙂
Anyone here play Immaculate Grid? It’s fun, but I don’t usually do a great job on figuring out “name the player that played on these 2 different teams” categories (unless one team is the Dodgers).

Sounds like a game my family plays with actors and directors that leaves me wondering how and why they know that stuff.
Wasted a one out double from Freddie.
I think the Dodger season record for Grand Slams is 11 back in 2021. So need 2 more to tie and 3 to set a new record.
You’re on it Dave.
If we pay Houston again I say hit 3 in that series.
Freddie hitting well tonight.
Next time up he can hit for the cycle
Sure looked like he could have had another triple.
He was thinking ahead re:The Cycle.
Sheehan could get the win.
Deservedly so, as he hung in there.
Yency with the comeback.
Max’s walk paid off.
WAH-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! Way to go CT3.
And on an 0-2 count!
He wasn’t getting cheated on any of his swings.
CT3 for 4!
That’s how you turn a game around!!!
Wow!
Yes CT3 for 4!!!!!!
Nice patient ab from Jay Hey.
Get him in David.
Need to score at least one more here Dodgers. Let’s go Peralta.
Willy…
Sheehan not very good. But not terrible. We’re still in it.
He’s been asked to do a lot, with minimal experience.
Yes. He has done well.
Encouraging, but ideally he’d be in AA or AAA.
Well, if we get some guys healthy or get a starter at the deadline that is where he will be.
Meatball. Drat.
I fear Taylor might be out.
Max please.
Gave it a ride.
Got the runner to 3rd.
Solid contact, but…
Runs please.
It’s early. Still in it.
With a naked and partisan eye that looked foul. No replay here.
You’re not the only one. https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1681086330233602048?s=20
Emmett is not sharp tonight.
Ouch!
Nice contingent of Dodgers fans here. Last time I was here must have been in 2019. Dick Mountain starter. Struck out the first two but then lost control and didn’t finish the first.
Me at Camden yards, 2018.

Nice.
Alright. That could have gotten out of hand quickly.
Settle down Emmett.
What the heck? The starting pitchers are different from the ones MLB told me they’d be.
The Birds named Rodríguez yesterday.
Yeah, I misread the Gameday screen. I put the July 18th data up. Now fixed.
No sound from the announcers, and the crowd noise is sporadic.
I hope that Muncy proves me wrong today, but I think there are better alternatives than Max in the cleanup spot.
Ball is now in Max’s court, as they say.
Yes.
Last minute dash up to Baltimore to see the team.
Have fun and bring home a win. How long does it take you to get there?
Bit more than an hour with rush hour traffic.
I have been there once. Tremendous ballpark.
Great place that catch a ballgame, though I miss the ambiance of Memorial Stadium.
I only ever saw a game at Memorial Stadium when I taught at GW in the early 90s. I did see a spring game at RFK that same year; it snowed that March morning but they still got the game in.
