Ace RHP Kevin Gausman (9-3, 1.73 ERA) takes the mound for the Giants and RHP Tony Gonsolin (1-0, 2.13 ERA) goes for the Dodgers.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 2017 Chris Taylor, Kiké Hernandez and Corey Seager each hit home runs as the Dodgers defeated the White Sox in a rain-shortened interleague game in Chicago behind Kenta Maeda’s five strong innings and two innings of relief from Ross Stripling.

NPUT
Need a Zach jack to start the comeback.
Reks? Who are these people?
Looks like a pretty tight game so far. We were out to an anniversary dinner (seven years married, eighteen together) but I just got invited to Wednesday’s game by a friend with fancy seats!
We just passed our 40th in Paso Robles and SLO.
Congratulations!
You too!
Agreed. Congrats. To all y’all!
¡Se poncha!
Get that one of?
Burbank?
Not sure of the geographical orientation of Dodger Stadium, but I do know it’s some distance to the ocean.
Probably more like Glendale. Burbank might be foul territory.
Ocean would be fouling it back. It faces the San Gabriels.
Weds. possible for Seager to start playing in a live game, according to Doc.
That probably means his first game back will be on Thursday.
Question seems to be where.
Pfui, that wasn’t the way it was supposed to end.
As I said about four hours ago, I’d be happy if we won three of four.
Let it be so.
Yuck. We need to win the next three.
At least two.
How many long fly balls caught at the wall tonight? Sheesh!
We got seriously outplayed.
Vesia looked sharp!
Only a few stalwart ones left on here. (Not looking good.)
Yep. Nope.
He has been consistently calling those just outside balls strikes. Can’t take them, guys.
Reks ties a rekord!
What record was that?
Putouts in an inning.
Reks!
I need to relax. First of four and we are down more than a few key players.
Arghhhh!
We stink tonight. Embarrassing.
What a thug. Goes wayyy around and practically threatens the ump.
What happened?
Went around and he thought it was ball four but called out. So he wheeled on the ump and mouthed off bigtime until manager had to get between them. Really obnoxious.
Who did?
I’m thinking it was Ruf.
Not last year’s Victor.
Thought San Fran wasn’t supposed to hit well with RISP
Rank 6th in the NL.
Lately. Joe and Orel were talking about it.
Bah! Thairo again!
Víctor may have come off the IL too early.
Just checked. They have 9 we have 3.
Another rough start to an inning. They are hitting more than we are for sure.
Missing Mookie and Corey and even Lux.
AJ forgot about the patience part.
Bickford with the pick! Pickford!
Mary?
There’s the DP.
And now hopefully the k. Or any other out.
I don’t care much about the sequence.
Future person for me tonight.
K plus DP would be nice.
Not a great start for Alexander this inning.
That was a good hit by Thairo.
Never seen that name before. Jairo, yes.
Lots of mysterious players popping up.
My wife, a native speaker, says she’s never seen it. Jairo’s relatively common in Argentina.
See Jairo a lot in Colombia. He is from Venezuela.
Venezuela has lotsa unique names.
Ni hablar de America Central.
The Cubans and Dominicans are right up there too.
Yep. Cubans like Russian sounding names and Dominicans American sounding names.
Poor Cody. Hit hard, but right at ‘em.
In the long run, he’ll be fine.
Yeah I guess his .165 average is not sustainable.
Bad luck and worse at bats. I keep thinking he’s going to find his swing any game now.
I don’t put that much stock in last season, and this season’s he’s recovering from a serious injury.
That was part of the “bad luck.”
Said no economist ever.
Good line.
Ok. Let’s go Dodgers. Time to score a run or three.
CT3! Beautiful play!
Woot!
Another steal. Sheesh. Why not?
Smith hopping for strike 3 I guess.
Only his second steal in seven years.
Picks his spots.
Hahaha!
Fellow was almost to second. Scott’s fault.

The end of the night for Sherry. I mean Sherrill. I mean Sherfy. There I got it!
Where did he come from, anyway?
The Sherfy store?
I don’t know. I think San Fran but don’t quote me on that.
Came up as a Snake, was just briefly a Gnat.
One of the Ducks.
Thanks. He did well!
He didn’t exactly leap out of the way.
With all the early games on the east coast before the ASG and then even some not late start times in Colorado, this one seems really late. And it is only in the top of the 5th.
Yawn. I might not make it to the end.
I was surprised by how
much game was left after our leisurely dinner! Gnats have definitely taken up Dodgers technique of showing patience at the plate.
Same.
Well, actually an hour worse.
It’s testing me, and I’m in the proper time zone.
Hi all. So – Jimmy Sherfy?!?!
I hate walking .182 hitters, especially one who’s played for the two most loathsome franchises in the game.
I take anything from a slam to a single here.
(Plus anything else that scores a run.)
Thinking what a thrill it must be for the young players to be playing with Pujols.
That guy has such a wide, warm smile.
OK, Yazzie, GIDP!
But that’ll do, I guess.
Goose not on.
Good show to get Posey.
On at least as well as Gooseman.
Despídala con un beso!
Get that ball out of Pasadena!
It seems the ball is carrying well tonight.
You are no eyes, no?
I’m in blackout country until Friday.
Ugh!
We were in SLO, a different blackout territory, but it was ASG time.
This is not an optimum beginning.
This is not an optimum beginning.
I sorta expected that Mookie wouldn’t play tonight.

In Cincy tonight, the NYM are channeling their 1962 pedigree.
Lets go Dodgers. This is what we’ve been waiting for.
Anticipating a four-game swat by the Dodgers.
I will be happy if we take three of four.
Unfortunately, it’s a four-game blackout here.
