Zack Greinke (9-2, 1.30) vs. Jacob deGrom (10-6, 2.18).
Today we test the theory of whether the baseball gods care about fatherhood milestones. In Jon Niese's case, in which he watched the birth of his son on facetime from the stadium, a thousand miles away, the baseball gods clearly frowned. Tonight, the Dodgers' Zack Greinke takes the mound, having left the team earlier this season to be present for the birth of his son, Bode. Will the baseball gods smile upon Greinke? Or will they at least cut him a break given he won't have a peaceful night's sleep for years to come?
Greinke's consecutive streak of 43 2/3 scoreless ball is on the line tonight, against a Mets team that might have just awakened its bats yesterday. Hoo, boy.

We need to win 3 of 4 since surely the Giants will sweep
The game is on TBS. I finally get to see a Dodger game.
Dodgers now have Chewbaca? Oh wait...that's Justin Turner.
Greinke has the best swing of any Dodger batter so far.
Sponge Worthy collects the first hit of the game...
Now if only the Boys can stop swinging on the first pitch.
SW hits opposing pitcher...
I'm wrong...not opposing pitcher
Streak over on hit batter and Joc error...
Thanks Joc
Yasiel looked bad on that K
We're going to lose this one, aren't we
Cut your hair, Jacob!
RISP for bad guys...
OUT AT THE PLATE ON GREAT PLAY BY AGON!!
Zack forces in run on another HBP...2-0 Mets
Royals get Cueto
Dodgers get zeroed
Leon's getting larger!
This game sucks
Dammit, the baseball gods don't like us, either.
It's Time for Dodger Baseball!
Live. Breathe. Blue.

This Game Sucks
DeGrom cruising. 101 pitches through 7 1/3
Callaspo will save us!
We knocked deGrom out of the game!
Betcha AGon hits a solo HR here so we lose by one

First-pitch swinging for Dre
Charley being Charley..."Looks like we're going to extra innings" as Dre ends the TOP of the 9th...
Nicasio up in the bully...
This game is infuriating both the Mets and dodger fan in me.
J.P. Superman!
JP with the diving catch!
Damn, Nicasio looked nasty out there. Color me shocked
NOW we are heading into extras, Mr. Steiner...
All we need is a lengthy rain delay here
My daughter and I just got a pug puppy and every time I get excited about the Boys she bites me... :)
RISP 4 Joc....
Awesome, Karen! Puppies are the best, despite all the care they require.
Also, attn: Dusty
We'll take that foul tip!!!!
At least he went down swinging. Twice.
Dusty was the first person I told about her!! I love this little fart so much it scares me!!
UGH!!! Granderson at 2nd...
Lovely...SNLA is noting that Tejada has 4 walk off hits
TEAMWORK!!! 3-1-4
Textbook 3-1-4 putout.
DAMMIT
It's true, pinstripes are slimming!
Makes me VERY nervous that they are giving the IB to get to Uribe...I don't like tempting the baseball gods...
Yep
Well that wasn't crushing AT ALL
This Uribe trade is haunting us all over the place. Next he is going to get traded to the A's Monday
Giants of course are winning
