Zack Greinke (12-6, 2.74) vs. (7-8, 3.44).
Personally, I'm more of an In-N-Out fan. But if we can take our win streak to a season-high five, guys, then I'd be pretty satiated indeed (at least, for one night). Luckily for us, having survived a turn at Josh Beckett's start last night, we are bypassing the abyss that is Dan Haren to instead go right to Zack Greinke. Thank you, scheduling gods!
Factoids from the AP preview:
- Los Angeles (60-47) captured Tuesday's series opener 8-4 over the Braves to become the first NL team to reach 60 wins. It did so two games faster than a season ago when at this point in the season it had won 26 of 32.
- Yasiel Puig went 4 for 5 to improve his career numbers against Atlanta, including last season's NL division series, to 20 for 38 (.526) with at least a hit in all nine contests.
- Matt Kemp went 3 for 4 with two home runs to make him 9 for 15 during the winning streak. The right fielder is batting .397 over his last 17 games to boost his season average to .282. He hasn't had it higher than that since finishing 2012 at .303.
- Adrian Gonzalez also collected three hits and is batting .400 in 10 games since the All-Star break.
That first point is pretty awkwardly written. Don't me blame.
Alex Wood gave up 4 ER over 5 IP in his last outing, a loss to the Padres.
But enough about the game. The three-hour lead time between this post and tonight's first pitch should give us a chance to discuss and debate what toppings we would choose at Five Guys (my local one is near Beverly and La Brea, fwiw). I think I'll have lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, jalapeno peppers, and a dash of A1 steak sauce. And a win tonight, please.

Crawford joins Ethier on the bench.
Let me edit: Crawford joins Etheir on the bench, one day after having a pretty good game for the first time in a long while
Giants won.
Updated Darwin Barney post to reveal PTBNL as Jonathan Martinez, single-A RHP.
Whatever happened to A1, anyway?
Timmeh hit a 2 run homer today and the FH won by 2. I just HATE that skinny ass, vampire wannabe mofo.
Wash yer nappy hair, Timmeh!
Dee Gordon wih an infield single and steals second (48), but AGon and HanRam K badly to end the first.
0-0.
Oh, and Greinke looks like his calf is bothering him; he went into the dugout after the first, with Stan conte. But he is back.
Vinny is mentioning Greinke's ankle. Please tell me it's nothing major.
Gosh, I don't want to let him go
épale everyone!
Matty goes yard, bubble machine working overtime. Attaboy my manly man!!
Greetings Sista!!
Radio through radio is way lagging tonight. I'm seeing replay of key plays on MLB Network on TV before I'm hearing the audio.
@karen hello sistah!
Close play w Dee trying to steal 2nd for the second time tonight. Was he safe or out, TV viewers?
(crickets)
I'm here, Orel. Just...hard to follow with time lag and no video and Steiner and (cries)
Sorry, I was trying to make a comment on how many TV viewers were out there
Only 30 percent of area crickets are chirping.
Dusty...I was in the other room but Vinny thought he was out.
Then he must have been out!
first and third, one out (b5). Come on, Dodgers!
Puig pops out to second? booooo
two out
10 Ks for Zack. Guess his calf is ok.
What's going on? Still 1 all? Guess this Wood guy is pretty solid.
Apparently this Wood guy has an unorthodox delivery that confuses batters (except Kemp).
I heard Kemp popped a Wood earlier... But everyone else in the lineup is limp
win for zackkkkkkkkkkkk
and Sax was right since the beginning
Dodgers take the lead. Crawford comes through, then Uribe. Feelin' this.
Matty brings in the go ahead run on Uribe single. 2-1 Boys.
Oh, and Matty has scored both runs.
Just in case in other whores may be tuned in tonight.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Rancho Ardiendo!
RA for Dre...
We had forgotten about Dre.
BOOOOOOOOOO
Actually an unfair situation for Dre. He's rusty and doesn't have his rhythm, yet some will say "See, he's no good..."
Were you saying Boooooo-urns, Karina?
Shut this down so I can go to bed, Kenley.
@Dusty Baker boo to the umpire, of course
Booooooo to that HR.
Mainly cause it fucked up Zack's win.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
free baseball will be
Two games attended this season, two extra inning affairs.
if they happen to lose this game (which they won't), I'll be in love with Dee's sneakiness
BISOOOOOOOOOON
THE BEAST!!!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah! We make 5-game winning streak party!
"This kind of funky shit" - great phrase!
Thanks for bringing us a win, Gnomes!
Knock knock
Who's there?
Kkkkkkkkkkkershaw Pitches Tomorrow Bishes!!!
Nice one, Pride!
Shouldn't it be, "Nice one, Dong?"
@Neeebs
Usually I use that construction, but I was feeling restrained tonight.
Interesting
