Fri 4.26 4p: Gavin Stone (1-1, 6.00) vs. Chris Bassitt (2-3, 3.90). Sat 4.27 12n: Tyler Glasnow (4-1, 2.92) vs Yusei Kikuchi (2-1, 2.28). Sun 4.28 10.30a: TBD vs. Kevin Gausman (0-3, 5.57).
The Dodgers' recent sweep in Washington DC not only gave the team a 2.5-game lead over the Padres, it cured the slumps of almost all the underperformers bottom-feeding at the bottom of the lineup. Well, almost--James Outman had a PH RBI on Tuesday, but followed that promising moment up with a 0-for-5 performance on Wednesday, dropping his average to .178.
And then there's Chris Taylor, whose 0-for-4 (with 2 Ks) on Thursday dropped him to a .047 BA, with 21 Ks in 43 AB. Nationals Park can't solve everything.
Let's see if the Dodgers can move to turf and keep the momentum rolling, or if Toronto's cold exterior threatens to ice our bats up once again.
These three games are pretty early, so set your alarm clocks!

Kikuchi fooled Ohtani on that one. Two out, T4. Ohtani lost his helmet a la Pages.
Taylor looked bad on that K to end the sixth.
Taylor with an outside chance to have his first multi-hit game this year...
Here's JT!
0-for-2 with 2 Ks, though he's got a .316 average.
Now Justin Turner is 0-for-3 after grounding to third to end the sixth.
4-0 LA
Glasnow on point today
Kikuchi replaced by Cabrera, and he gets Mookie on a line out to third for the first out in the seventh.
Ohtani reaches on an error
Freddie with a base hit to left-center! Two on for Slappy.
Dodgers with 10 hits today, in the top of the seventh.
Smith is only the second Dodgers catcher with consecutive four-hit games (the other one is Campanella, 1951). --factoid from Sarah Langs
Smith with a .304 average with two strikes, 6th in MLB.
Wow.
Deep fly ball from Smith, Ohtani goes to third.
John Schneider, Blue Jays manager, comes out in his hoodie sweatshirt to hook Cabrera.
Teoscar grounds out to end the inning.
4-0 LA at the stretch.

Ohtani almost goes yard but it’s a fly out
Evan Phillips is scaring the hell out of me
come on Phillips.. stop dicking around and finish this game
that's a wrap
WIN
Roberts is really testing the baseball gods today. Check out the bottom of our lineup: Outman (.182), Lux (.183), and Barnes? Okay, so let's see if our hot streak can extend to them, too.
Good Morning SoSG Nation!! I'm having trouble with my laptop so if I suddenly disappear like I did yesterday that's what's going on
ahh yes. Toronto's blue uniforms. Beautiful.
Spectrum needs to upgrade their cameras and broadcast tech. Blue Jays broadcast on canadian tv is way more sharper and colors are way more rich.
Great pick from Grove
shit. Toronto scores 3 whilst i was in the shower. i should have stayed smelly
Geez. I go out on my run and hear Grove give up three in the bottom of the second. Ugh
Freeman! HR makes it 3-1 Toronto, T6
Barnes putting up a fight here in the 8th. 10 pitches in this at bat
10-pitch AB for Barnesy, who works a leadoff walk in the eighth
the fucker walks.blets go mook
mookie doubles Barnes to 3rd
that was lackluster Ohtani
Barnes on third, Betts on second, Ohtani up. No out.
Jammed Ohtani inside. He pops to first.
EK is right: Both of the pitches Ohtani saw there weren't strikes, but he swung on both anyway.
IBB to Freeman, so here's Teoscar.
Teoscar is a former Blue Jay. This would be good...but he's .160 with the bases loaded this year, which is not good. And now he's in a 0-2 hole.
Here comes the K.
Three-pitch K on Teoscar, and the last pitch was bad, Teoscar was way late.
New pitcher to face Muncy with rancho ardiendo.
That Nissan commercial with the puppies loose in the house is pretty stupid. They need to bring back Brie Larson.
Tim Mayza in. 13 appearances, 0-1 with 6.52 ERA.
C'mon Max!!!
Muncy's gonna K, though...
Geez, 3-2 count...
Muncy's gotta swing, with Pages up next
Fly out to center.
Well, that was our best chance. Now it's to the bottom of the order in the ninth...that's three quick outs. Oh well.
fuuuuck
(crying)
To be fair, Muncy almost got it, but not enough.
3-1 Toronto, mid-8
Lux made a nice double play throw there with Guerrero coming right at him.
Okay, to the ninth we go. Jordan Romano coming in to close the game for the Blue Jays, facing Pages, Outman, and Lux.
Pages lines out on the first damn pitch.
Outman Ks on three pitches. Thanks, James!
Are the 'Flying Wulinda Brothers' playing outfield for the Jays today?
Pages did give that ball a ride, Springer with a pretty good catch in right.
Outman is not good
Lux fouling some balls back to stay alive...
...but Ks.
Dodgers lose.
On to Arizona and a sweep
PGT up.
