Freeman with a two-run HR!
2-0 LA, B1
Freddie with a 2 run bomb
@ saxy - its cool. you're the man.I'm glad you're keeping this place alive.
The other Sons help with twitter. I'm just the old guard staffing the lone blog outpost!
thanks for coming by our virtual neighborhood bar. It may not be as popular with the kids these days, but at least everybody knows your name here.
Shit. Heaney gives up two bombs and it’s 3-2 SF.
Trea with a two-out single in the third.
Turner caught stealing. Not good.
Trea getting tagged out doing a riverdance after sliding into second base

Heaney serving up some bombs. damn.
Jeez. Now down 6-3
Cody, you hit a three-run HR here, or you’re out of the starting lineup this series
And, Bellinger Ks. What a surprise.
Still down 6-3

Not-so-fun fact!
Cody Bellinger has played in six games since his last hit, on August 29! He's gone 0-for-19 since then!
Not-so-fun fact!
Joey Gallo has improved on his .159 average and 77 OPS+ that he had with the YankMes!
Now he's batting .197 with the Dodgers...which gives him a positively mediocre OPS+ of 101!
Dammit, we are already down 1-0 through 1.
Muncy leadoff double in the bottom of the second, and then a four-pitch walk to Justin Turner. No out.
Joey Gallo with a three-run HR!
Taylor Ks.
Bellinger Ks.
Come on, guys.
Mid-3, 3-1 LA
Max Muncy is single-handedly winning this game for the Dodgers.
3-for-3 with 2 HR and three RBI
Taylor and Cody again can’t do anything except make outs.
6-3 LA @ the stretch
6-3 LA, Final.
WIN
GAME THREE

T Turner SS
Freeman 1B
Muncy DH
J Turner 3B
Thompson CF
Gallo LF
Taylor 2B
Barnes C
Kershaw P
Bellinger, now riding a 0-for-21 streak, sits. Finally.
Chris Taylor is 1-for-10 in his last three games, including 5 Ks.
He'd better start making contact.
Dodger Insider: Since Craig Kimbrel first used "Let It Go" as his walk-in music on August 21, he hasn't allowed a hit in six appearances, and he has a 0.00 ERA.
0-0 through 1. JT had an error but no damage done.
classic Dodgers. bases loaded with no outs and score no runs. they deserve to lose. hate that shit.
Bases loaded in the second, none out, and we can't score a damn run!
Oh man. I come back to my desk and we're losing, on a two-run David Villar HR.
Come on, people!
Dodgers through four frames: 0-for-6 with RISP
First and second, none out, B5.
Justin Turner up.
JT HOME RUN!!!
3-2 LA
SNLA showed a great stat. 21 out of 22 runs this series have been scored via the HR. That was before JT's 3 run bomb.
Kersh is through 6. Dodgers still lead 3-2. Bottom half of the inning coming up.
Looks like Kershaw is done for the day. 6IP 2R 5H 8K on 86 pitches.
Muncy had a sweet bunt base hit before JT's bomb. Took advantage of the wide open left side.
David Villar with a second HR. Tie game.
Thanks a lot, Bruihl
Bruihl in to pitch the 7th. Villar with his second dinger of the day ties it up.
Damn! I had to look up how to spell "Bruihl". LOL.
Evan Phillips in and Joc up for the Gnats.
3-3 at the stretch
JT works a walk
Wade with a leadoff walk in the top of the 8th, but Evan Longoria GIDPs for the first two outs. Then Estrada gets an infield single.
B8, tied at 3.
Barnes with a leadoff single to Joc in right
Charley says that Longoria should have had that one, but it snuck through for a base hit.
Betts grounds to Zack Littell (P) for the first out. Barnes to second.
Here's Trea, 0-for-4 so far this game.
Trea with a double to left! (Sorry, that's where Joc is playing)
Barnes scores! Turner on second, Dodgers up 4-3
MUNCY!
MUNCY WITH A THREE-RUN HOMER!
7-3 LA
Muncy today: 3-for-5, 3 RBI
He's now at .197 for the season...
Bellinger is at .199...
Quick outs for JT and Thompson.
7-4, heading to ninth.
Muncy with the very unusual bunt and a bomb game! I love it!
WIN
Magic number at 6
@Quad 4.10p: I gotta watch that bunt video! Sounds classic
that's a wrap
@Sax In his post game interview Muncy said he was just trying to get Freddy over and let the guys behind him do their job. Ended up working out nicely since JT hit the 3 run bomb right after.
BTW...3 HRs in 24 hours for Muncy is pretty damn good!
