Clayton Kershaw (10-6, 2.39) vs. Felix Doubront (1-1. 4.59).
Sure, let's give the Dodgers a day off before that grueling trip up to Oakland, where we will play two games against the A's, before getting another day off on August 20. Thank you, scheduling gods, for this respite (despite completely screwing us earlier this year, by having us play a 14-games-in-13-days immediately followed by another 20-consecutive-day span of work).
The least we can do is hurl Kershaw, who is coming off a 5-0 record an 0.82 ERA across his last seven starts. Kershaw has had at least eight scoreless innings in five of his last six outings. Felix Doubront, Dou wonderful wonderful Bront, is a new acquisition by the A's from Toronto, who is probably wondering how he ended up moving from a first-place team to a last-place team. Let's stop him before he gets any ideas about reaching into a bag of tricks.
Dodgers enter Tuesday up 3.0 games in the NL West.

Latos to the pen for next 10-11 days per Mutt.
Latos to the bullpen? Or the tattoo ink pen?
Can't let game go by without giving props to Saxy's great GT...
I keep thinking because we're in Cali that we get Vinny.
@karen 6:42p: aw, shucks, thank you!
Even the mlb.com Gameday A's stadium is ugly, with its tarped upper deck
Rollins K
Hernandez K
Turner fly out
0-0 after 0.5
That was a shit-ass first AB. It's like they said "Just go out there and swing the fuck away and we'll see what happens. For god's sake, don't work a count or take any pitches because this is the first time you've seen this guy."
CK gives it up to the first batter, decidedly unlike my prom date.
0-0 through 1 in Oakland.
STL/SF also scoreless through five in St Louis
SF threatening, men at corners with one out in T6
ADRIAN GONZALEZ BREAKS UP THE NO-HITTER!
(in the second inning)
Damn...I was hoping for a collision...
why is Vin not doing the TV broadcast?!
Guerrero is hacking fouls here
And, Guerrero Ks weakly. Adrian stranded at first.
0-0 through 1.5.
SF takes a 1-0 lead as well
@Saxy....I think he must be doing just frisco road games nowadays...
two on, none out for Clayton
Vine doesn't do OAK games when we play them away. Just SF and if the mood hits him some SD.
Vin
Orel said rim.
Backhand stab by CK ends the inning. No one is getting another hit the rest of the night - he's pissed.
Totally routine D for Clayton. I have come to expect this from the the Stud.
1-0 Oakland through two, but two straight walks for the Dodgers with none out in the top of the third. Oakland is huddling at the pitcher's mound with Doubront. And my mlb.tv seems to be frozen.
show me something, Rollins
Rollins pops to first in foul territory. Really, Jimmy???
Check swing by Kike hosed us. 1st and 3rd but two outs. JT steps in.
first and third, two out. We're not going to score here.
And, Turner flies to right. Nice effort, 1-2-3 in the batting order! Really well done there.
We didn't score here.
1-0 Oakland through 2.5
FIRE ROENICKE
hehehehe^^^^^
NOW CLAY IS REALLLLLY PISSED
I have never seen Kid lose his cool like that...just get out of the inning Clay...
Dodgers can't score in the fourth. Still 1-0 Oakland
Giants up 2-0
AJ with Kid's back....
Ellis getting into it with the home plat ump, who seems to be calling time whenever the hell he wants
^plate
Kershaw is very pissed here.
I'm pissed too
I'm pissed three
Ellis, now would be a good time for a HR
TIED AT 1....
I'm pissed as shit.
Not one of Kiki's best ABs.
Um...ditto for JT....
B9 in STL, man on first with none out, Cards down by two
1-1 at the top of the sixth in Oakland, and A-Gon with a leadoff walk
we have only one hit against this doubront character?!
SF wins
The switch pitcher seems like he only throws junk.
But his junk gets us out.
Kid K works out of a jam in the 7th. Still tied at 1.
YEP...AJ DO GOT KID's BACK!!!!!
Baez, giving it all away
Can you imagine this bullpen in the Post Season???
No wonder we Dodgers fans are drunks, druggies, dealers, porn stars, pimps, whores, serial killers and used car salesman. How else are we expected to express our frustration?
This is an ugly inning.
Jim Johnson gets the final out of the 8th and we're tied again.
Nice to see Yimi pitch well there.
I moved from NYC, where my mlb.tv account let me see all the non Mets games, to Las Vegas 11 days ago, and it turns out I'm blacked out of games here. I'm currently at the M casino watching the Oakland feed, which mlb.tv won't let me get at my new home. I feel like moving back to nyc ...
I finally feEl the pain of all the LA fans who can't watch games even tho time warner isn't offered where they live ...
I'll say it on behalf of all us:
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THE WORLD
Our bullpen sucks.
Fire Roenicke
Just saw the replay. That blows.
Wasted a great Kershaw start and an Ellis bomb. I wonder how many baseballs Kershaw threw around in the locker room.
@goodchild27
I feel like moving to a place where I can't watch the bullpen implode.
The bullpen needs a good pep talk/ass kicking from Lasorda.
Being there sucked. Watching the bullpen collapse, again, really sucked. Walking back to BART, smelling that weird TAR smell really really sucked. Not having a Krispy Kreme to drowned my sorrows in after the game as I drove back to Fresno really really really sucked. The only thing that gave me any joy last night was the fact that I saw all those bullshit a's fans that left at the top of the 8th after AJ's HR. I imagine some were freaking out trying to get back in and the ushers were pushing them away...
8 hours till my Facebook probation ends...
All because in an article that was posted on FB about the protesters in Fresno protesting and blocking traffic, I asked, "How did they all get time off from work?" For that, a 3 day suspension...
you da man,Dong. you da man.
