Dan Haren (8-4, 3.57) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (8-6, 4.86).
Today's battle of eight-game winners pits two pitchers coming off strong victories. Haren one-hit Cleveland over seven innings his last time out, retiring 13 straight in one stretch. De La Rosa held the first-place Brewers to four runs over six innings in a Colorado victory.
If you believe in momentum, the Dodgers have won seven of their past eight games against the Rockies, and a win today would give them three straight victories — no #tetraphobia to worry about yet. So kick back, crack open a beer and fire up your California Grills as you root for the Boys in Blue. Happy long weekend!

@ DBT
Alas, I don't think it is.
Ah fuck my arse! Thanks DB
Arse? Someone's got World Cup fever!
Tulo out. That should help
Seven pitches in and the Dodgers have a 1-0 lead!
This soccer match isn't very exciting so far
uRBIe!
Two errors, two hits, two runs for the good guys!
Well that's a nice start. Let's see if Haren can keep it in the yard
seeing eye single for Rutledge
wow, looks like the ball is flying today, that looked like a pop to center off the bat
FB...Haren must have heard you. He kept that one in the yard. Barely.
Haren in some doodoo now
The answer is: no
nice play by Hanley to get the first out, a run comes in though
Big K of Morneau for the second out
Well that lead didn't last long.
fuck, shitty single by Rosario nets the second run
would Dee have gotten to that one?
FH on Fox at 4:00PST today.
finally, the third out, made interesting by Matty and Dre nearly colliding
And, two runs for the bad guys. Sigh.
2-2 through 1
Can't wait for extras with an 18-18 tie
Dodgers-Rockies tied. Netherlands-Costa Rica tied
Will Matty ever remember that he destroys lefties?
unlucky double for Morneau, let's see if Haren can get out of this
@DB, you've watched more international soccer than your average American. Are there any teams, leagues or regions that are "tougher" or less floppy than others, where fopping is a smaller part of that particular football culture? For example, do the teams in the Bundesliga play a more "honest" brand football than they do in Spain?
and he can't, Rosario gets him again
more trouble with 2-outs
shit
Is this game still not on fox?
and there's the homer from Stubbs
5-2 bad guys.
FIGURE IT OUT, DANNY!
15 homers in last 11 starts for Haren
Finish this shit!
ugh, what a meatball he threw to Stubbs. Bats are gonna need to wake up
TWC with their usual outstanding service has gone dark. Stubbs hit a homer? 5-2 now?? What the fuck is happening?
Uribe can't layoff the inside pitches, looks like he's defending his crotch more than swinging for a hit
TWC back on. Looks like everything I missed was bad.
I know Dre is swinging a hot bat but how about SVS against the lefty?
@karen, that's the quality service you expect from TWC. They'll even black out the bad parts for you
Dre looking Dre-like vs De La Rosa, Ks swinging for the second time
AJ works the 2-out walk
Miggy Rojas works his own walk, this one on 4 pitches
Haren gets jobbed on the check swing
then Ks on 3 pitches
at least we cleared the pitcher *sigh*
1-2-3 4th for Haren
It's only the 4th inning?
Don't worry, the Dodgers are getting four minutes of extra time
for those of you who can watch the game, is that a cardboard cutout of a person sitting behind the plate, probably 4 seats to the left of the ump?
Puig works the count to 3-2 but pops out
Hanley works it to 3-2 as well
Hanley nearly beats out the grounder to 3rd
no score after 90 between the Ticos and speedskating windmill-turning wooden-shoe-wearing tulip-twirlers
18th homer allowed by Danny Boy this year.
and there's another one
gotta pitch better, Dan
Luckily Dan is approaching 100 pitches
Haren leaves the ball up to Rosario again but this time it goes right to Hanley
Things are getting really ugly at Coors. Now 7-2 Rox.
Haren out. Jamey Wright coming in. 1 out, man on 3rd in 6th. 7-2 Rox.
so the 1 hit in 7 innings was the anomaly. Maholm must be snikcering in the bullpen as his cleats get rusty
So...comeback?
8-7 Rockies in the 7th
Hope that GIDP doesn't loom large.
Howell gets three groundouts in the bottom of the 7th
Dodgers fail to score in the 8th. We are going to lose by one
What is happening? Can I get a belligerent recap, please?
Dusty...I don't know how belligerent I am, but I just got back to the house and I am hot and very pissy, so I figure that's close enough. Having said all that, I don't have a damn idea what the hell is going on. Someone help us out!!
THE PUIGSTER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!
@Dusty, Haren was Stinky Haren again, Wright wasn't very good either, we scored some runs in 7th to make us think we might come back,
League in and pitching like he wants me to murder someone.
Dodgers with a huge rally in the 7th. Rockies used three relievers, who walked four (one intentionally). Also one passed ball. Uribe came up with RA but GIDP (with an RBI).
Puig somehow turns a misplay to a double play
Bang bang! Puig with the 9-5 DP!
League, your ass got lucky there, don't waste it
Puig throw ball hard
thank you
do we have one more rally in us?

GIF: Yasiel Puig is bad at running routes, but oh lord does it not matter. http://gfycat.com/ThoughtfulAnchoredAchillestang
Walk Double Single
Then Kenley for the win
that was annoying
gotta pitch better than that, fellas
Or strike out line out ground out
Save Kenley for tomorrow
1-0 FH on Blanco homer early in Padreville.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS
this feels like one of those mega-annoying Sunday afternoon losses that ruin an otherwise great weekend. Luckily we can re-ruin it again tomorrow
Fuck the sports gods. We gave you boobs,what else did you want? First you made us suffer another Dutch win,and then a Dodgers loss. What's next, a Tour de France drug suspension?
Oh hey, that GIDP loomed large.
Couldn't escape Harenhole.
