Roberto Hernandez (7-9, 3.78) vs. Trevor Cahill (3-8, 4.54).
Hey, we love the Diamondbacks! The Dodgers are 10-4 against Arizona this season, yet haven't played them since June. This is a two-game series, and frankly anything but a sweep will be deemed an embarrassment and a disaster by Dodger fans and the media.
The Dodgers have faced Cahill four times this season (in March and April) and won three of those games. Cahill was sent to the minors for more than a month and reactivated after the All-Star break. Here's a plan: Let's help him back to the minors again.

Somebody give Gibby a quarter, so he buy himself a razor.
Dee grounds to second
Puig works a walk!
hmm Adrian with a grounder to second that should have been a double play, Gregorious dropped the throw, apparently on the transfer, so 2 down, AG on first
Mattingly had a notion to challenge but Wallach gave the thumbs down
ball squirts from Montero's glove, Adrian sneaks down to second
Matty mashes one to left for a 2-R homer!
the missed double play means bubble play for Matty
Hanley flies to right
Hernandez still wearing a jersey that looks like CC Sabathia wore into a sauna
Dee gets Enciarte but on a close play. Enciarte seems like an MSB but I haven't seen him play
Hernandez can't get Hill after battling back from a 3-0 count
Peralta with a single, 1st and 2nd for Trumbo
Hernandez gets the called 3rd strike on Trumbo
phew! Montero drills it to right but Matty tracks it down
CC grounds to 2nd
Turner strikes out swinging on a ball in the dirt
AJ with a roller to third
jeez, Hernandez hits Marte on the elbow, the ball ricocheted off AJs mask
Lamb Ks on a check swing
Vin: "Lamb is sheared"
Gregorious rips one to center, Marte goes to third, 1 out
Gregorious was 4-44 before that hit
Cahill showing bunt, Hernandez throwing balls
Bunt fielded by Adrian, looks Marte back to third and gets Cahill at first, 2 outs
the bloom is officially off the Correia/Hernandez rose. I assume the Mets are getting a phone call right now
Cahill gets to Hernandez's chopper
Cahill beats Dee up the line after a grounder to first
Puig hitting .238 in August
Puig Ks, nobody can lay off the sinking stuff from Cahill. Make him get the pitches up!
Cy Cahill?
Hernandez is wild, starting in the hole seemingly every batter
Arizona has 6 outs and 5 hits
long out to Puig
Montero flies to center
grounder to Turner who goes to Dee at second for the inning-ending force
I've seen way too much of Carlos Frias the last week or so. I really don't want to see his skinny ass tonight
Adrian draws a walk
looks like a lot of blue there at the Arizona baseball arena
and Matty draws a walk
Two on, no out for Hanley. Time for him to make us forget his defense
Hanley Ks looking
I would really love it if he could get healthy and hot in September
CC with a single to left, AG scores, Matty to third! 3-2 good guys!
Turner with a single to center, Matty scores!
You can't keep Turner down
And A.J. brings things to a screeching halt
AJ single to center but CC is the latest dumbass to run through a stop sign at third and is out at home, Donnie is challenging it for some reason
My bad. All I saw was "In play, out(s)"
not sure what replay Wallach saw but it's pretty clear he was out
wha?!? SAFE!
it had to be something about blocking the plate because he had the tag down
so 5-2 good guys, somehow. I'll take it
Ball not in glove?
Turner comes home on the bunt from Hernandez, Hernandez nearly safe on the perfectly placed/poorly played bunt
wow that was close, if tie goes to the runner, he's probably safe
6-2 good guys
nevermind, plain old safe!
Dee rips one past Hill into center, AJ comes home and we've batted around! 7-2 good guys
Gibby has had enough of Cahill. I am still OK with him
RA for Puig
ohhh on the CC-at-home-play, Montero had the ball in his hand, not the glove. He tagged him with the glove first and the hand second. Not sure if the hand tagging was done after CC had touched home, but that's what it seems to be
Puig walks
Gameday still says 6-2
OK now we've batted around
Adrian hits a fly ball to the track, Hernandez tags and comes in, 8-2
@Orel, I wonder if Gameday got all goofed up on that bunt single for Hernandez.
Puig steals second with nobody covering
Matty grounds to short
Vin says 6 runs is our biggest inning of the year
Mucho runs!!!
I feel like Hernandez is gonna need all of these runs
HO
LEE
SHIT!
Grounder deflected off Hernandez's glove, Hanley was moving up he middle to get the grounder but had to reach back to backhand the deflection, then flipped it backwards with his glove to Dee at second who threw on to first to nearly get Gregorious. It would have been an amazing double play but was still a great 1-6-4 putout
The new MSB does it again, grounder to right, Kemp's noodle arm can't get Gregorious who was running from second, 8-3
MSB steals second
grounder to second to end the inning
Ender's Game
Hanley hits hard to right but Peralta ran it down
CC strikes out after working the count full
Turner strikes out
Cmon, Berto, how about a clean inning?
roller to first, AG takes the force but is unsuccessful trying for the runner at second, 2 outs
Mattingly is reviewing the play at second now
the throw was late, but Hanley kept the tag on his leg for a while after, Peralta may have taken his foot off the bag for a moment.
But he was ruled safe
I think his right foot was still on the bag
Cmon, Bert, finish this
dumb passed ball, Peralta to third
Marte with a chopper to second to end the inning
Vin talking about the first televised game
"the Dodgers lost to the Reds, wouldn't ya know it?"
AJ with another single
Hernandez bunting like he wants the coaches to let him swing
Delgado throwing nasty breaking balls, Hernandez can't get his bat on them cleanly and Ks
Dee with a sharp single, AJ to second
Puig pops to first
ugh, Adrian singles, AJ thrown out at the plate on a close play, good throw from Peralta
"Federowicz would have scored on that!"
Where dat lineup?
CC overrules by Puig to make the catch in left center. You could hear CC screaming "I got it" but in the end he deferred to Puig
Madison Bumgarner PERFECT through 6
Why can't Big Mac grab Puig by the scruff and tell him to stop fucking swinging at the first pitch and not to push so hard?
Gregorious Ks
Mac should juice up again so he can handle Puig
Delgado pops to third, nice inning for Hernandez
Matty battles but fouls to right
Hanley gets a bloop hit
Please dear Vin, do NOT let there be a fucking stupid piece of shit perfect game pitched by a Gnat tonight (or any night).
CC follows with a ground hit to left
Turner singles on a grounder to left, Hanley was sent home and gets there safely on a close play, 9-3 good guys!
Gibby done with Delgado
AJ strikes out
Dre up for Hernandez. Not a great start but it works
perfect no-hitter shutout through 7
Dre grounds to third
ugh, I need bed. Can I trust our bullpen to not blow this?
Gnite all
Bumgarner is IMPERFECT!
Dodgers win 9-5 but it seemed like we lost 10-9.
