August 15th
1914 Brooklyn's Jake Daubert sets a National League record with four sacrifices in one game. The first baseman's efforts aren't enough when the Dodgers drop an 8-7 decision to Philadelphia at Ebbets Field.
1926 When Babe Herman doubles with the bags full, three Dodgers wind up on third. The runner on second base rounds third but decides to return to the bag when the runner from first reaches the same base, and a few seconds later, Herman slides in to join his two teammates.
1963 En route to a 25-5 record and a league-leading 1.88 ERA, Sandy Koufax has his shortest outing of the season in the Dodgers' 7-5 victory over Milwaukee at County Stadium. After being spotted to a three-run lead in the top of the first, the southpaw retires the first Brave he faces but pitches only a third of an inning when he gives up three consecutive singles and a home run to the next four hitters that score four earned runs.
2006 The Dodgers, with their 4-0 blanking of the Marlins, win their sixth consecutive game and 17th in the last 18 contests. The stretch is the team's best run since the Brooklyn Superbas went 20-1 in 1899.
2020 Max Muncy hits the first leadoff sac fly in baseball history when he flies out to deep right field, scoring Chris Taylor, the Dodgers' ghost runner who stole third base on the second pitch of the tenth inning. Angels' reliever Keynan Middleton, who throws a perfect 1-2-3 inning, is tagged with the loss when the run proves to be the difference in the team's 6-5 loss in Anaheim.
And now the red hot Padres play the last-place Rockies.
Very disappointing!!
Felt like a play-off game. Good baseball from both teams and some late bad luck with their hits.
Calling all Mookies. Calling all Mookies. We need some magic in the ninth!
Not enough by himself.
Obviously.
Bullpen woes. Gotta do better, guys.
Ground balls weren’t usefully located.
Pecked to death,
What happens with loaded bases…
Meh.
Expecting the worst.
Uggh
Babe Barnes
Good recovery, Vesia!
Turang is quite a player.
Vesia survives!
And will now have a couple days off.
Whew!!!
Still getting squeezed.
Ump didn’t help, there.
No, but it's still on Vesia.
Vesia – throw strikes!!!
Ugh. Vesia. No bueno to walk the first guy up.
Hold the line, bullpen!
TOOTBLAN from Teóscar.
I actually don’t remember this particular Hudson.
Vaguely here…
Looking at his six games as a Dodger last year, he was basically a mop up guy.
Nice jump by Pages.
¡Quique!
MLBTV has switched to today’s game.
Timeliness in action…
Ha!
Something brewing?
Excellent!
Huh? MLBTV is showing last night’s Dodgers-Brewers game and it says it is “Live.”
Yet another crushing loss.
The Hornet is out of gas.

And they think Vegas is a major league city.
Flaherty having trouble putting hitters away.
Not looking quite so dire now.

Time to tie it up!
Way to go, Andy!
Arizona and San Diego are idle today. If we win, we are up by 3 on both; if we lose, it’s 2 on both.
Go Dodgers!
Wow. They came to win this one. We’d better wake up.
At least that cleared the bases.
Twice…
None of them bad pitches.
Ooph. Then, that happened.
Not the way I prefer to start the morning.
The game is early, but yeah. I agree.
That was some at bat by Turang. Dodgers, take note.
No Mookie today.
Easing him back into full-time duty, I would expect. Probably available off the bench.
Dog house for last night!
DFA!
