Freeway Series, Game Two, 2024

Angels at Dodgers, 6:10 PM PDT, TV: KCOP, SPNLA

LHP Reid Detmers (1-0, 3.38 ERA Spring Training) pitches for the visitors and RHP Gavin Stone (3-0, 1.93 ERA Spring Training) does so for the Dodgers.

In the major news of the day, Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to speak to the media regarding his former interpreter’s alleged gambling at 2:45 p.m. PDT. It will be televised live on MLB Network and SPNLA and carried on the radio on AM570 in LA and on the iHeartRadio app. Apparently he’s just going to read a statement and not take any questions, which will undoubtedly anger every working member of the press within miles.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1934 For the third time in six days, track and field Olympian medalist (javelin, hurdles, high jump) Babe Didrikson takes the mound to face a major league team. The Orleans Pelicans’ hurler pitches two scoreless innings against the Indians and lines out in her only at-bat.(Ed. Note: Earlier this week, Didrikson pitched for the A’s against the Dodgers and the Cardinals with the Red Sox as her opponents.-LP)
  • 1945 Tryouts are granted to pitcher Terris McDuffie and first baseman Dave Thomas when a group of blacks appears at the Dodger offices in Brooklyn. The two players will work out at Ebbets Field in front of Branch Rickey on April 7.

Lineups when available.
