Mon Apr 3 7p: Michael Grove vs. Feltner Tue Apr 4 7p: Julio Urias vs. Marquez
With Tony Gonsolin recuperating from a spring training ankle injury, and prospect Ryan Pepiot on the mend from an oblique injury, the Dodgers go to Michael Grove (career 6 GS, 1-0, 4.60 ERA) to take the mound Monday as our fifth starter. Going 2-2 against the lowly Diamondbacks doesn't give me a lot of confidence with how this two-game series is going to go, even against the 2-2 Rockies (to be fair, almost the entire NL West is also 2-2).
Let's see how Grover fares tonight!

Scoreless tie finally breaks in the third, when Jason Heyward leads off with a single and CT3 hits a bomb! 2-0 LA
Dodgers still 0-for-0 with RISP this game.
Muncy with a leadoff walk to start the fourth.
Martinez Ks. Charley and Rick say "that was the loooooong swing." Ugh
Outman flies out on the first pitch. Two out in the bottom of the fourth.
Vargas works a 0-2 count back to a walk. Muncy to second. Nice job, Miguel!
That's Vargas' ninth walk of the season. Wow
Heyward foul tips out.

Two stright walks, then a double. None out.

And, Grove is gone. Here comes Yency Almonte.
And, Yency quickly gives up a single to Harold Castro that scores two runs.
Dodgers losing, 3-2.
None out.
Profar GIDPs but scores another run. It's 4-2 COL.
Okay. Two out in B5, and Freeman doubles, followed by Smith and Muncy walks. Jake Bird replaces Ryan Feltner for the Rox. Let's see how we do (knowing we can't score with RISP...)
JD Martinez narrowly misses a grand slam, which slices foul.
Next pitch to Martinez...two-run single to left!

AZ wins 8-6. Snakes and Pads now both 3-3.
Machado was tossed after a first inning pitch clock violation strike out. I bet that happens a few more times before the end of the year.
Good sleuthing, Quad! I didn't see that...here's the video / article. Nice!
It is still cold outside. I'm glad I'm not at the Stadium tonight as I've been cold all day.
Will Smith with a bomb! 2-0 Dodgers!
On Machado…I forgot he was the first pitch to get hit with a pitch clock violation in Spring.
First player*
Outman down looking in his first AB tonight. I want his shirsey still.
HEYWARD!!
Julio gets a pitch clock strikeout. Part of his first 1-2-3 inning.
Just got back to catch up on this game's highlights. Holy smokes, JayHey's HR stroke was violent! Wow.
MUNCY’S TURN! 4-0!
Shallow flyball into right leads to a collision between Mookie and Heyward. Heyward made a sliding catch and Mookie went tumbling over him. Mookie seems to be ok, thankfully.
Trayce Thompson with “The Way I Am” by Eminem as his walk up song is pretty awesome.
Ump’s strike zone got real wide that inning. Robbed Muncy and Trayce.
Bases loaded with Rockies. 5-1 lead not looking good now in the ninth.
WIN!
Sorry I got distracted by the new Ted Lasso episode drop!
Good to see a win!
