  1. Trashtros lose on a walkoff, thanks to old friend Caleb Ferguson.

    In search of their 21st straight, Chisox trail Oakland 3-1after five.

  2. Closer to having the top record in the NL. I guess need to sweep to pass the Phil’s. But even 2 out of the 3 would leave them just 1/2 a game behind.

  3. Glasnow must be enjoying the runs today. I'm thinking the Dodgers haven't scored to many when he pitches.

    • Usually best to throw to first but maybe Smith could have yelled for the throw to go to him given it was going to be iffy at first.

  4. Things are starting to happen Freddie is back Biggio is a DFA. Graterol and Grove are at Dodger stadium. Rojas says he’s ready to go. Muncy took swings on a velocity machine and feels good could start a rehab assignment this weekend.

  5. The Dodgers have reinstated Freddie Freeman from the restricted list and designated Cavan Biggio for assignment.

  7. Today in Dodgers History
    August 5th

    1954 Stan Musial, in a 13-4 rout of the Dodgers in Brooklyn, paces the Cardinals attack, hitting two homers and driving in seven runs. The defeat is Preacher Roe's first loss to St. Louis at Ebbets Field in four years.

    1969 With a titanic blast that clears the right-field pavilion, Willie Stargell becomes the first player to hit a home run completely out of Dodger Stadium. The 506-foot round-tripper helps the Pirates defeat LA, 11-3.

    1979 Don Sutton passes Don Drysdale on the Dodgers' all-time strikeout list, recording his 2487th when he fans Greg Johnston swinging in the team's 8-5 win against the Giants. The right-hander's total of 2,696 in Dodger Blue will remain the franchise strikeout record over 42 years, easily surpassing Dazzy Vance's tenure on top, which lasted a little more than 37 years until Sandy Koufax moved ahead of him in 1965.

    1979 At Chavez Ravine, Don Sutton fans six batters in LA's 8-1 victory over San Francisco, surpassing Don Drysdale to become the Dodgers' all-time strikeout leader with 2,487. After establishing the mark and receiving a two-minute standing ovation that he acknowledges by tipping his cap, the umpire charges the right-hander with an automatic ball due to running his fingers across his lips while thanking the crowd.

    1979 The Hall of Fame enshrines outfielders Willie Mays (Giants, Mets) and Hack Wilson (Giants, Cubs, Dodgers, and Phillies). Baseball administrator Warren Giles, who served as the president of the National League from 1951 to 1969, is also inducted during the Cooperstown ceremony.

    • Surprised that Hack took that long to get into HoF, but only know him by rep and the RBI record. Now, looking him up, seems he had a relatively short career.
