1906 After pitching 10.2 innings of no-hit ball, Harry McIntire yields a single to Pirates second baseman Claude Ritchey. The Dodgers and McIntire lose the game in the 13th on an unearned run, 1-0.
1924 Dazzy Vance strikes out seven consecutive batters to establish a major league record when the Brooklyn Robins defeat the Cubs at Ebbets Field, 4-0. The future Hall of Famer will compile a 28-6 record for the Brooks this season, leading the National League in strikeouts with 262.
1957 Gil Hodges, in a 12-3 win over the Cubs, hits his 13th and last career grand slam in Brooklyn Dodger history. The first baseman's bases-loaded shot off Dick Littlefield establishes a new National League record, previously shared by Rogers Hornsby and Ralph Kiner.
2011 After popping out in a pinch-hitting appearance, Craig Counsell remains without a hit in his last 45 at-bats, tying the longest single-season hitless streak by a position player in history, established by Brooklyn backstop Bill Bergen in 1909. The major league record is 0-for-70, established in 1970 by Bob Buhl, a pitcher who toiled with the Braves and Cubs that season.
2015 Clayton Kershaw strikes out Mike Trout looking with a wicked curveball, marking the first time the reigning MVPs have faced one another in a major league game. The interleague contest between the two LA teams ends with the Dodger southpaw keeping the Angel outfielder 0-for-3 while hurling eight innings in the team's 3-1 victory over the Halos at Chavez Ravine.
C'est La Vie.
10 SO in 23 AB. Pathetic.
11 SO in 29 AB for the game. Not good.
FWIW, the Phillies put a bow on a 10-14 July today. Bad months happen.
Orioles, Yanks, Keggers, Spiders have all had similar runs, and are still in first place or close.
Kopech blowing the Fryers away.
Self destructing.
Still gonna win the division, easily.
Dodgers unraveling.
Ay Caramba!!
Lux is now 15-for-34.
Dodgers have struck out 59 times in their last 39 innings; that's a hair more than 1.5 per inning. Unacceptable.
Not a recipe for success.
More like food poisoning.
Rats!!
Smitty slumping badly.
Ahmed being smart
Cease getting the close pitches.
That one wasn't close.
Kersh bungling that bunt really hurt.
An error that doesn't show up in the scorebook.
I remember a while ago when Lux’s error was the worst part of the game.
OK, time to do what Fryers did yesterday.
Just hope Kershaw can make it through 4 or 5 innings.
34 pitches that inning.
Mustard is off the hot dog and landing on Kershaw
Spot em 5 and win it late
Things are very messy this inning.
Klayton losing kommand.
Per Roberts:
1> Max Muncy had a “breakthrough” and is feeling much better after a “chiropractic adjustment” involving his ribs
2> Of the three rehabbing Dodgers relievers (Ryan Brasier, Brusdar Graterol and Michael Grove), Grove is likely the first one who will be back. Could be as soon as next homestand.
3> Mookie Betts is taking BP again, and could be back in the “next couple weeks”
Good updates there. Add Freddie in as probably coming back soon – hopefully.
I'm expecting Min for Max
I was randomly thinking about Charlie Steiner the other day. Wonder how that guy is doing?
Also – I like Tim Neverett on the radio. He works for me.
I hope Steiner's enjoying a long overdue retirement.
Neverett's a pretty bad homer.
To me, he is much better than Stephen Nelson.
My mistake – I was thinking of Nelson.
Easy first for Klayton – but shoulda been easier.
Great inning by Kershaw. Lux’s error not withstanding.
Go Kersh!

What the heck is going on.
The Dodgers have lost games in which they had a five-run lead in two of the last three games, and three times in the last 13 games.
Not a recipe for success.
Today in Dodgers History
July 31st
1954 At Ebbets Field, using a borrowed bat, Joe Adcock hits four home runs in one game and a double, which misses by inches of being his fifth round-tripper, in the Braves' 15-7 victory over the Dodgers. The Milwaukee first baseman's 18 total bases, collected on seven pitches, set a major league record, surpassing the mark established in 1950 by Brooklyn's Gil Hodges.
1955 The Indians obtain Sal Maglie off waivers from the Giants, who released the 38-year-old right-hander because of his ailing back. The 'Barber,' who will be used sparingly in Cleveland, will become a major cog next season in the Dodgers' National League championship after being acquired by the team in May for $100.
1983 The Hall of Fame inducts Orioles Gold Glover Brooks Robinson, ten-time American League All-Star infielder George Kell, and long-time Dodger skipper Walter Alston. Dominican Dandy Juan Marichal, also an inductee, becomes the first Latin American player enshrined at Cooperstown.
2004 Ten minutes before the trading deadline, Steve Finley gives the Diamondbacks permission to deal him to the Dodgers. The trade sends the four-time Gold Glove center fielder and backstop Brent Mayne to LA for minor league catching prospect Koyie Hill, flycatcher Reggie Abercrombie, and southpaw Bill Murphy, acquired in yesterday's trade with the Marlins.
2006 The Dodgers trade infielder Cesar Izturis to the Cubs for 300-game winner Greg Maddux. The last-minute deadline deal, in which the future Hall of Famer waived his no-trade clause, allows the 40-year-old hurler to go to a contender.
2008 In a three-team trade, the Red Sox finally accomplished the much-anticipated departure of Manny Ramirez to LA., dealing Craig Hansen and Brandon Moss to the Pirates. The Bucs send Jason Bay to the Red Sox, with the Dodgers' Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris going to Pittsburgh.
2022 James Outman becomes the eighth Dodger in franchise history to hit a home run in his first plate appearance, driving a 1-1 pitch over the right-center field wall to give the team an early 2-0 advantage. The Los Angeles 25-year-old rookie finishes the game with three hits, three RBI, and two runs scored.
