Angels at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports West, SPNLA

The Angels’ RHP Griffin Canning (6-3, 4.29 ERA) faces the Dodgers’ RHP Tony Gonsolin (4-3, 3.69 ERA).

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1953 The Dodgers set a major league mark for the most consecutive games with a home run by a team with at least one round-tripper in their 24 contests. Brooklyn starter Preacher Roe hits the record-breaking homer with a third-inning blast in the team’s 9-5 victory over Pittsburgh at Forbes Field. (Note: this record has been broken by seven teams since then, most recently in 2019 by the NY Yankees, who did it in 31 straight games ending July 1)
  • 1998 Jeff Shaw becomes the first player to participate in an All-Star Game wearing a uniform for a team he hasn’t yet played for when he works an inning, allowing three hits and a run pitching for the National League squad before appearing in a regular season game for the Dodgers. The 32 year-old closer, who posted a 1.81 ERA along with 23 saves in the first half of the season for the Reds, was traded three days ago by Cincinnati to Los Angeles for Paul Konerko and Dennys Reyes.
  • 2004 Kazuhisa Ishii tosses a one-hitter in the Dodgers’ 11-0 defeat of Arizona. The 30 year-old Japanese southpaw retires the first 12 batters he faces before issuing a leadoff walk to Luis Gonzalez, which is followed with a single by Shea Hillenbrand, but then the left-hander proceeds to mow down 15 consecutive D-Backs to finish his masterpiece.

Dodgers at Angels, 7:07 PM PDT, TV: FS-W, SPNLA

The visiting Dodgers hand All-Star candidate LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-1, 1.35 ERA) to the Angel Stadium mound tonight. He’ll face rookie RHP Griffin Canning (2-2, 3.52 ERA). Ryu leads the NL in ERA and is tied for first in wins; he’s only faced the Angels three times in his career but is 2-0 and a 0.83 ERA against them. Canning is the Angels’ #2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline; he went six innings in his last start, giving up four runs and taking the loss.

If you somehow missed it, here are Muncy and Bumgarner after Max’s home run yesterday:

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 2012 Bobby Abreu, who was tied with Mickey Mantle for 109th place on the all-time hit list, surpasses the Yankee legend with a second-inning double in L.A.’s 8-2 interleague victory over Seattle at Safeco Field. The 38 year-old outfielder has collected 2,416 hits playing for the Astros, Phillies, Yankees, Angels, and Dodgers.
