Stephen Fife (1-2, 3.25) vs. Michael Kickham (0-1, 15.43).
A lot going on tonight. From the Dodgers:
Tuesday is Beach Towel night presented by Time Warner Cable. The Dodgers face the Giants at 7:10 p.m. and the first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive a beach towel.
Bay Area Dodger fan Casey Johnstone whose 5th grade graduation speech has garnered national media attention will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Casey was asked to give a speech at his Bay Area elementary school about a favorite memory from school and chose to talk about being the only Dodger fan at school while all the kids celebrated the Giants' World Series win. The Dodgers will show Casey’s memorable speech in-game.
That's right, that Casey Johnstone (son of Ron) will be throwing out the first pitch. What's more, father and son are donating the proceeds from their viral video to the Bryan Stow support fund. Classy move, Johnstones!
Oh yeah, Yasiel Puig will continue to plead his All-Star case to Bruce Bochy. As for the Giants starter, let's hope the Dodgers jump on him fast, and Kickham when he's down.
UPDATE 6:27p (Sax): I just opened a pack of cards, and it looks like I have the variant card!

Dodger Nation: Italy is 9hrs ahead!

Carl Crawford could be back on the #Dodgers' next trip.

Puig in LF, Kemp in CF, Ethier in RF..this could get interesting!!
I hope Kemp isn't coming back faster than he should be coming back. He didn't light up the box score in AAA.
UCLA takes a 1-run lead
Kemp has never been known for his electrician skills.
1-0 UCLA through 2. Mississippi State had a tough first inning, but got the Bruins 1-2-3 in the second.
Is there a timeline for Crawford?
1-0 through 2.5
Bruins score 2 in the bottom of the third and are still up (2 out). 3-0
3-0 UCLA, mid-4. Mississippi State strands two in the top of the fourth. This game is still a nailbiter.
4-0 UCLA!
Bruins score a fourth run in the bottom of the fourth. 4-0, 1 out.
Rancho Bruiendo with one out for UCLA.
5-0 UCLA
5-0 through 4
Dusty Baker just checked in from the Stadium! He's clad in a beach towel and nothing else, so make sure you grab the towel and run, my friends
UCLA has given up 14 runs in 9+ games. Their starters' ERA is less than 1.00 in the the College World Series. That's bananas.
My bad! I forgot, Dusty's not at THE Stadium--he's at Fenway Park! Looks like he's seeing a good one, too: 8-4 Red Sox over Colorado in the top of the seventh, plus he probably snagged Ted Lepcio's autograph before the game!
Wow. Mississippi State had frist and second with none out, and (like the Dodgers) couldn't plate a run.
5-0 Bruins, mid-5.
5-0 through 5
Beat f'risco!
3 up 3 down in the top of the first. LA 0, SF 0
Sorry Bruins, gotta hop over to KCAL 9
MEllis, called strike 3.
Kickham gets 2 Ks in a 1-2-3 first.
Hmm.
Nice grab, Punto!
The 5-foot guy skies for a Sandoval line out!
Okay, I gotta go, ladies and gents. Let's go, Dodgers!
Punto with another f'ing great grab into the stands!
Those Dodger fans who were getting in the way of Punto's catch should be kicked out of the stadium. Idiots.
I just realized I completely missed Orel's Crawford update @4:32.
UCLA now up 6-0 in the 6th.
FedEx with the Sarah Shahi hug-infused double!
Boom! 2-0 LA
MELLIS BOMB!
Run(s)! SMElli with the homerun!
But Sarah Shahi didn't hug Mellis.
I was half-listening. Did Vin just end a sentence with "yo"?
Puig's BABIP is gonna get you eventually, Kickham.
No Vin said Yog, that was the end of that wonderful quote.
Puig in left field is going to be an adventure, I can see.
Thanks, BJK. I thought Vin had gone all Jesse Pinkman on us.
Oyster Pubes HR gets one back for the Giants.
UCLA is 3 outs away from its first ever baseball championship. 6-0 going into the bottom of the 8th.
Hope they don't have Brandon League closing for them.
Second non-strikeout for Kemp tonight.
What channel is UCLA?
UCLA is on ESPN, BJ. FYI.
Thanks CB
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
goddamn wild pitch
8-0 UCLA.
Bruins, come teach the Dodgers how to win.
The giants are looking very Dodger-esque in their offense. That can only bode well.
Come on guys get a big inning going.
Nice job Andre! Lead off double.
FedEx roped that one, but right at Torres
Lets go Fifester!
Dodgers at corners, one out, Fife up
Do it for the little Fifemaniacs out there!
Need another HR here Mellis!
Neeebs had Fifemania. Psychotropics helped calm him down.
Just had deuces wild!
UCLA wins!!!
UCLA Bruins, 2013 NCAA baseball champions.
Congratulations Bruins!!!
Wow, congratulations to the Bruins!
Lead off walks kill.
Not the hockey Bruins!
Lead off walk for the giants in the sixth. Come on, Dodgers!
109 championships for the Bruins, but their first in baseball. Wow.
Nice gun, FedEx!
That hug just keeps paying off.
FedEx guns down blanco! Nice move by MEllis
Late jump by yasiel but he gets the third out
Puig needs a cape.
Puig is looking like Mannywood pt. 2 out in left.
Another salt of the earth start by Fife.
How many Bruin alumni here besides me? Great night!
Congrats, BJ!
A-Gon with a one-out double!
Not alum, BJ, but I am a fan. :) Congrats!
Hanley tags the foul pole!
Hanley hits the foulpole! HR!
HanRAM!
That was a laserrrr!
Offense!
Hanley!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit a lefty again Dre!
Kemp singles, Ethier singles...
Kickham kicked!
This is the offense we've been waiting for...since April.
I hope Kemp and Dre have found their mojo!
Donde es Spanky?
Eat a sandwich, Dunning!
IT'S THE HUG
FedEx is officially having the best night of his life.
Even with a bad hammy, Kemp rolls home on a FedEx single to shallow left!
Run!!!!
Part of the reason Kemp had an easy time scoring was the fact that Pubes was playing so far off the plate, it was easy
Dunning looks like he's had his chest excavated.
Wild throw!
Ha ha!
6-2 Dodgers!
"Who are these guys?"
Question applies to both Dodgers and Giants.
Run!!!!!!!!!!!
Me likey.
Fuck.
This is starting to feel like fun again!
Damn.
QualityStart™!
This is starting to feel like shit again.
And the bullpen drops a turd in the punch bowl.
Man that was close.
Way to cover Howell! 6-3 LA going into the stretch
You better slide into first there, Howell! Late off the mound.
The Dodgers actually look like they wanna beat the giants. A little fire from Howell...I like it.
D'backs, Rockies lost
Padres losing
Kontos! Love this guy.
@Sax: is Candy Crush crashing for you? I've had constant freezes on level 316...
Puig's gotta stop swinging at those.
Puig goes 0 for 4 and we're up by three? Feels different.
I like how BJ is subtly trash-talking Sax there.
A-Gon's gotta stop swinging at those.
So who is the setup guy? Paco?
@BJ: not taking the bait, my dear
Oh no not the 2009 set up guy.
The Dodgers have given Beli a lot of rope this year.
One down for Beli.
Puig and Scutaro both go 0 for 4.
Vin sounds so uninterested in MLB AtBat for Blackberry 10, it's kinda funny
Beli Ks Posey. Nice.
Wow nice Belli.
I hear if you get to level 325 in Candy Crush it sucks you into the game.
Kind of a cross between Tron and Willy Wonka.
Vin with a little Venezuelan travelogue.
Ethier pounds one through the Pandawickets!
That was a wicked googly
That pic of Panda would make a great baseball card.
I'm serious Sax. I can't keep kicking your butt if I can't finish the level! Lol
Giants can't turn a double play...for the third time this inning! Not that the Dodgers have scored or anything, however.
Great idea, Paul!
@BJ: don't be hating the game
Would love a 3 run bomb after all that.
Would have been awesome if Pence had dropped that, but oh well.
6-3 going to the ninth.
Get the job done boys.
Fiat commercial: blonde, brunette, or redhead?
I'm with the brunette. I love me the speaking part actors.
Blonde is a pretty close #2 however
Wow, next five games are ALL on Prime Ticket. FIVE GAMES IN A ROW
693 baybee
Mattingly willfully trying to screw with the baseball gods
League, really?
Why?
Pence with a base hit to center. Even Kemp is yelling at Mattingly from center field. "What the hell you put in League, Donnie?"
I'd rather have Belli comeback. He looked good.
What the hell are we doing here, Donnie
Why God Why?!! Someone needs to run League over when he leaves the stadium tonight.
League is in?! Good, I didn't wanna win this game anyway.
2-1 to Brandon Belt.
STOP THE MADNESS DONNIE
This is bad.
Maybe League will pull a hamstring?
Maybe?
Full count to Belt. Here we go, League is gonna walk him.
Get him the fuck out!
GET LEAGUE OUT OF THERE DON YOU IDIOT
Oh fer fuck's sake. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Now i *wish* League had walked him
I hate you Don.
I want to turn the game off.
I hate you, too League
He is done!!!!
Don Mattingly needs to be fired.
Great three-year contract, Colletti!
Hi, I'm Brandon League. I suck at baseball. Give me money.
That was the single biggest idiotic move by a manager I've seen.
Glad they booed him. I hope he goes home and his wife and kids ignore him.
They should be booing Donnie.
Um, can someone tell me why our closer isn't closing? Is it really that taxing to throw for two innings one night and then go again the next? How fucking hard can it be? Kershaw throws for 8 or 9 straight!!! Jeezus
The good news is, we've got an option for a fourth year of League in 2016.
Don't make me cry Sax
Would be nice to get an out here, Dodgers
Triple play here.
Brandon League sets the bar so wonderfully low.
Please God, double play.
One out. I am not confident.
ONE MORE, PACO
Oh man. Come on Paco!
Oh man. Come on Paco!
Paco gets Blanco to K swinging.
I am still not confident.
It had to be Scutaro.
FUCK YEAH KEMP
KEMPED!
Fuck yeah!!!!!
Welcome Back, Kemp-er
My friend broke his hand that way. The smacking the wall, not the catch
KEMP SAVES THE GAME!
fuck yes!
A win!
FB, Why not us?
Keep the streak going.
So we get the win and Kenley gets a day off. All part of Donnie's plan....
FUUUUUUUCK YES!!!!
Thank you Matty, from the bottom of my blue heart.
Let's get Clayton 6 more runs tomorrow
Get the sweep boys.
