Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 1.50) vs. Tom Koehler (1-2, 4.80).
The Kohler Beckon (TM) electronic pull-down kitchen sink faucet saves over 30% more water than typical 2.2-gpm faucets. That's great and all, but I still have to think Clayton Kershaw has the upper hand against a guy with a similar last name to a touchless faucet.
Carl Crawford is supposed to be reinstated for tonight's game, allowing Crawford to rejoin the 15-day DL up to five more times before the all-star break (assuming efficient injury stints).
Oh, and it's USC night at the Stadium tonight. The Dodgers' NL West lead shrunk to 1.5 games thanks to last night's loss; the Giants are only 2.5 games behind, in third place. Maybe a nod to the trojans will help us protect the lead.

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF ROUTE WAS THAT, CRAWFORD?
Crawford looks like a fucking fool out there in left field. Osuna gets a gift triple, with one out in the top of the second (LA 2, MIA 0)
Dodgers scoring in the first: leadoff walk by Utley; one-out walk by Turner; Utley scores on a wild pitch to A-Gon which the Marlins catcher also helps with a throwing error. A-Gon ends up walking (Turner already at third), and Koehler has another wild pitch to score Turner. Puig continues the AB by lining to left, and Grandal Ks.
2-0 LA after 1.
Kershaw gets Ralmuto K for the second out. Osuna still at third.
Curve ball gets Johnson, Osuna stranded.
2-0 LA through 1.5.
That was a pretty two-strike curve (72 mph)
Crawford comes up there hacking like a madman, but on the second pitch he singles to right.
Dodgers have seven left handed batters in the lineup
Does Joc Pederson have the Fresh Prince of Bel Air as his walk-up song?!
Pederson works it full
Crawford on first, none out, 3-2 count to Joc
Dammit, Pederson got under it. Can of corn to left. One out.
FLEECE BLANKET tomorrow
Not only is there a Fleece Blanket giveaway, we reckon there will be at least four Sons at the Stadium tomorrow
Kershaw shows bunt, then swings a single into left, with the 3B playing in. First and second, one out. Utley up
Utley comebacker forces Clayton at second. Men at corners, two out, Seager up.
1-2 to Seager
Seager works the count full as well. We're making Koehler pitch a lot
Seager grounds out to Gordon 2B.
2-0 through 2.
Seager bobbles it but gets Hechavarria for the first out, 6-3 ground out
Koehler has 49 pitches through 2.
We'll get to Koehler in the third.
Koehler with a three-pitch K, the curve gets him.
KKKKershaw
Dee Gordon strikes out a second time. He's now 0-for-7 in the series, I think.
KKKKKershaw.
2-0 through 2.5
Turner, first-pitch swinging, flies out to Stanton in right.
Gonzalez takes it far, but a deep fly out to left.
At least A-Gon took some pitches, instead of swinging on the first pitch...
If Koehler is struggling so much, why swing early?
Puig is hacking like an idiot on those first two pitches
4-3 ground out. Quickest inning for Koehler, with our 3-4-5 batters no less.
2-0 through 3.
Justin Turner Chia Pet advert. I want one!
Arizona down 5-0 to St Louis
AZ game is in the fifth
Prado was frozen there.
KKKKKKershaw. One out
4-3 groundout for Yelich. Two out
slow curve Ks Stanton, and Kershaw does a little hop. Wow that was wicked.
KKKKKKKershaw
GnR @ Dodger Stadium, Aug 18
Grandal grounds out to first.
Koehler has started to groove, retiring six in a row. Crawford up
Crawford works a walk. One out. Here's Jocster
pederson with a weak ass pop fly to shallow center. two out.
Kershaw ropes a double to deep right-center! Crawford scores, 3-0 LA
THat was a hell of a hit by Kershaw there. Wow.
Utley with pitchers mound power there, weak fly out.
3-0 LA through four.
"Kershaw has more hits by himself than the entire Marlin team." --Vin
Since 2008, Kershaw has the third-highest win % in a home start following a loss, only behind Greinke and Arrieta
Turner snares a bullet by Osuna up the line. One out
A-Gon with a popfly
Kershaw with another K curve ball. He's walking to the dugout before it even crosses the plate. Wow.

Seager Ks, Turner pop fouls out
stop doing the frickin' wave when A-Gon is batting
Koehler gets him.
3-0 LA through five
Utley snags the soft liner. One out.
Koehler pulled for Rojas PH. SO that's it for Tom, 5 IP.
rojas double
what the fuck, i take one phone call and now it's 5-3 Marlins, and Dee Gordon has a leadoff double in the seventh?!
Crawford, again, is totally misplaying defensive position in left. Can someone please take Crawford off our hands
whoops it wasn't a leadoff double, there were two out. And Gordon is stranded on second when Prado flies out to left (Crawford again was not positioned well defensively)
USC night at the Stadium doesn't look so good so far
SF up 1-0 in the seventh
AZ down 8-0 in the eighth
Kike PH flies to right, one out
a wonderfully dated reference by Vin:
"Fly ball; he hit it off the end of the bat. It sounded like he hit it with the morning paper."
Who has a morning paper anymore?
Still, that's pretty cool, Vin.
Turner hits one right to Prado to force for the third out.
5-3 Marlins through 7
First time in Kershaw's career that he's yielded five consecutive hits.
Puig cavalierly catches that fly out and i think he thinks it's the third out. Yelich takes third.
Puig being Puig.
The run scores that Puig could have kept from scoring had he played the ball like a real third out
6-3 Marlins
ichiro with a hit
what a disaster of an evening this is
three strikeouts on A-Gon, Puig, and Grandal. 6-3 MIA through eight.
SF won, AZ lost
hatcher has a scoreless inning!!!!
PGT up
You were all over this one Sax! Sucks it wasn't a better game for us.
