Dan Haren (8-9, 4.76) vs. Matt Shoemaker (9-3, 4.09).
It's the Dan Haren Guarantee: He pitches, the opponent homers. In 22 starts this year, Haren has given up 22 home runs. That works out to...carry the one...one home run per start! To be fair, some starts Haren doesn't give up a home run. Then again, some starts he gives up two. So it all evens out.
Against the Orange Curtain's Murderer's Row of Trout, Pujols and Hamilton, we don't expect Haren to wriggle through this outing unscathed, so the Dodger bats are going to have to lace some hits against Shoemaker so the team can stay in sole possession of first place.

Let's hope Ethier can hit the ball out of the infield tonight!
Wonder if MLB.com will offer a Live Look-In for the historic Haren-Trout matchup
Puig double wasted
One out. PERFECT GAME: INTACT
Whoa, runs! Kemp HR, Crawdaddy single + SB, Ethier (!) double
Turner walks. 1st & 2nd, no out
A.J. sac. Not entirely useless
Dee K's
Full count (!) to Puig
Puig walks. AGon, FIRST-PITCH SWINGING, grounds out. AWO
When we had them on the ropes back in the top of the second, we didn't finish the job. Haren is going to need more than a two-run cushion.
@Orel re the GT: Bite your tongue.
SF up 4-3 in the 8th, in Milwaukee
Scioscia wins a challenge, and the call on the field is overturned (Andre Ethier out at second). Booooo
(turner on first, one out)
SF just extended its lead to 5-3
boooooo
good eye AJ--0-2 count back to 2-2
I'm getting here late again but have to say very entertaining GT Orel.
Guess I missed a Matty homer? I thought I heard my MKW sisters singing.
Nice one, Sax. Way to sneaker in there.
Thanks, Karen! It's a good time for MKW's
SF 7, Mil 3, still in the 8th. What the hell, Brew Crew?
@Orel 8:39p: If eyelet that pun go unanswered, I will feel horrible.
Did you guys see Jess Marlow passed away? I remember him vividly from my childhood, when local news broadcasts were relevant.
LOL Mets: Mets give stadium giveaway collectible truck with Phillies logo
CC with a one-out single, holy cow
Can someone hold me? I wasn't ready for the rapture.
Ethier, 2-for-3 but GIDP there. 2-0 through 5.5
@Orel, you're ahead of me on Thick as Thieves. Nice
You too Quad
Just Puigan!!!
@Saxy...I did see that about Jess Marlow yesterday. Very sad. I remember my parents always watched his newscast.
Haren ain't so bad when he's throwing against his former teams
@Sax 8:43p: Aglet it go, man
WIN
PGT up
