Dodgers at Diamondbacks, 4:15 PM PDT, TV: FOX
RHP Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.62 ERA) gets the ball for the Dodgers and RHP Merrill Kelly (3-2, 3.49 ERA) gets it for the D-Backs. Gonsolin has already won as many games this season as he’s ever won in a single big league season. Kelly has the idential record so far this season as he had in all of the Covid-shortened year of 2020.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1957 Walter O’Malley and Horace Stoneham are given permission by the National League to negotiate deals with cities on the West Coast, with the proviso that the future location of their respective clubs, the Dodgers and the Giants, be known by October 1. The Brooklyn and New York owners both deny there is any significance to the unanimous vote other than being given an opportunity to explore all the available options for their possible relocation of their clubs.
- 1969 The day after he becomes a father, Randy Hundley hits a grand slam and a double, driving in five runs in Chicago’s 9-8 victory over San Francisco at Candlestick Park. The eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy named Todd will follow in his dad’s footsteps, becoming a major league catcher, receiving for the Mets, Dodgers, and the Cubs.
- 1989 With runners on second and third, no outs, and the Mets and Dodgers tied at 3-3 in the 12th inning, home plate umpire Bob Davidson calls a balk against Roger McDowell which scores the winning run in the Chavez Ravine contest. Dave Anderson is waved home when the New York reliever fails to pause and make a discernible stop.
- 2001 In an 11-inning slugfest with Colorado, LA catcher Paul Lo Duca goes 6-for-6 in the team’s 11-10 victory at Dodger Stadium. The backstop’s five singles and a three-run homer tie a National League record for hits in an extra-inning game.
- 2011 The game between Los Angeles and Florida continues as fans in a section of the upper deck seats at Dodger Stadium are evacuated due to a small fire in a nearby storage area. With plumes of smoke visible coming from the top level of the ballpark on the first base side, the crowd is informed by the public address announcer that it will not be necessary to evacuate the entire stadium.

I guess the Dodgers only needed 23 or 24 outs to win. But wow – that’s a lot of outs on base.
Not like us. And we lost a run and gained two outs on challenges.
CS on a terrific bullet of a throw. Trea made it close, though!
Deleted.

Yay!
Oh we of little faith! Good game, Blue.
Woo-HOO!!! Thanks future people!
Dodgers win!!
That’ll do!
Whoa. Big K.
Am I futuring you, for a change?
Yeah. Watching on my iPad. Delayed.
McCarthy’s had a good day, and that should be enough.
There’s out number 2.
And Peralta helps out!
Thanks, Walker!
Feels like this is not going to end well. I believe. Help my unbelief.
At least a tie. Probably worse?
Walker helps out.
Two more outs please!
Uggggh!
Felt that one coming.
Dodgers have hit in bad luck tonight, and run the bases badly.
Marte scares me.
Like I said…
Let’s go Hudson. Save this sucker.
Ok. JT can’t go 4-4 and NOT score a run (or drive one in). Right??!
I’d like to see him go 5-for-5, and not in extra innings.
Ohhh. I see what you are suggesting. And I like it.
Dang. Yes he can apparently. I wonder the last time the Dodgers had a player have a line of:
4AB 0R 4H 0RBI
JT’s bat is coming alive.
Very fine comeback by Vesia, now for some insurance.
Ugh. Hate that call.
I refuse to accept the results of that replay.
I expect the Snakes to overtake the Gnats in the standings. They have plenty of young talent, and SF has almost none.
Willie!
Trea!
20 games.
Kelly wanted no part of Freddi after that loud long foul ball
Freddie was so so close to putting us ahead.
Oh, man?!?!?! Foul ball by inches.
Unfortunately, wasted the challenge.
Mookie steals second. Seems like Dodgers stole more in April than they have in May. (Which could be completely wrong – but feels true.)
Gonso is grooving some pitches.
Which is not groovy.
Good grief Eddie.
I can’t synch either radio broadcast with the video, so I appear to be stuck with Fox.
I fear Edwin has been picked off.
Yeah if they could stop doing that – that would be great.

In the end, the Reds swat the Gnats again, 3-2, in an especially amusing manner. Catching “prospect” Joey Bart – he of the 55 percent K rate – now appears to be a pinch-running specialist, and gets thrown out at the plate to end the game.
Reds beat Gnats 3-2. Tying run cut down at the plate.
It was a thing of beauty. https://twitter.com/NBCSGiants/status/1530689306813091840?s=20&t=fzDe8ddlDjDT51sQVRtxgQ
Yes it was. Out by a mile.

In the first at Cincy, old friend Kyle Farmer has dingered off old friend Alex Wood, and the Reds are swatting the Gnats 3-0.
