Dodgers at Diamondbacks, Time: 6:40 PM PDT, TV: Arizona Diamondbacks, SPNLA
RHP Landon Knack (1-1, 3.27 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers while LHP Jordan Montgomery (1-1, 2.77 ERA) goes for the DBacks.
- 1940 The Dodgers tie the major league mark for consecutive wins from the beginning of the season with style as James ‘Tex’ Carleton no-hits the Reds, 3-0, for the team’s ninth straight victory since Opening Day.
- 1944 In the first game of a doubleheader split, first baseman Phil Weintraub gets 11 RBIs, and player-manager Mel Ott scores six runs, drawing five walks in the Giants’ 26-8 rout of the Dodgers. Brooklyn wins the nightcap 5-4 in a game shortened due to darkness.
- 1988 Dave Winfield ties the major league RBI record for April established by Dodger infielder Ron Cey in 1977 and matched by Dale Murphy of the Braves in 1985. The right fielder, who was on base at least once in every game, drives in his 28th and 29th runs of the month in the Yankees’ 15-3 rout of Texas in New York.

Pfui.
We have Mantiply to thank for personally bringing our runners home.
With Walker on his way back, this is likely Knack’s last start in the Bigs for awhile.
Or maybe last night was Paxton’s.
Paxton isn’t going anywhere.
If he doesn’t pick up the pace…
Just bee-cause you didn’t K last night doesn’t mean you have to turn it around tonight.
Could be awhile. Have to find a beekeeper.
My guess is cancelled until tomorrow. Beekeeper can’t deal with them with unprotected people around.
That is pretty much what the guys in the booth are thinking.

Using Phillips last night with a four-run lead in the 9th may haunt us.
You called it! Night night, Scoop.
This one is on Roberts. Poor management of pitchers. In the course of a 162-game season, probably forgotten. But Roberts’ misuse of pitchers in the post-season kills us again and again. That’s always my concern when we reached the post-season.
Brasier on IL, likewise Graterol, Roberts’ options limited.
See above. Using Phillips with a 4 run lead was not a good move.
We held serve.
Sac fly with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the 10th is OK, but not great.
Shohei is not on tonight.
Not doing it with RISP.
McGough’s ERA is 6.92.
OK, Shohei.
Top of the order with Lux on second and Mookie due.
Crismatt gets it done.
Why the delay?
Arguing whether Pages got HBP’d (he did).
Thanks.
Keep it here, Daniel.
Phoo. Tie game.
Sorry, but I think we’re due for the Bad Kelly.
Youse was mistaken.
And I am so pleased to have been wrong.
Is Mantiply a merger of manatee and multiply?
In the Dodger lineup right now hitting at least .300: Betts, Ohtani, Freeman, Smith and Pages.
OhioDodger: Thanks for your note on this being the anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s last game. It was one of the saddest days in sports history and one of the greatest farewell speeches.
Joining the party late after umpiring a game…On my way home I was listening to a Giants’ talk show. Lots of callers frustrated and bemoaning how the Giants are doing. The host of the show had an interesting observation about how three “key” players whom the Giants acquired in the off-season are doing: Soler, .219, Chapman, .222; Lee, .259. Also, fans unhappy that their ace, Webb, didn’t get out of the fourth inning in route to his defeat, 4-0, to the Bosox in the first game of a 10-game road trip. The host also said that the Giants haven’t produced a home-grown talent, presumably referring to hitter, not pitchers, in 10 years.
I look forward to watching the condensed version of that game after Dodgers are done in Phoenix.
Webb reached the mid-50s in pitches in the second inning. Jon Miller, a solid announcer, continued to point out the growing pitch count.
Miller is outstanding, especially in contrast to the homer hacks Krukow and Kuiper.

Not to speak of Snell.
You misspelled “Smell.”
Othani still not producing wrisp
I go out to dinner with my kid and bees take over? What?
RBEEI
Hmm…well they did score with the bags full.
Now that they know how maybe they will score from full more often.

Well, the bee guy crushed it.
And then threw out the first pitch. Did he kill the bees?
No.
Who will sing the National Anthem? The surviving Bee Gee?
The B-52’s.
The big buzz
A beekeeper has arrived,

Guessing it will have to be postponed. Not sure they can deal with them with people around in harm’s way.
What’s the delay?
ah, the bees.
Is this game only on ESPN+ ?
Also on this day in 1939, Lou Gehrig played his last game.
