Fri 5.10 6.40p: Tyler Glasnow (6-1, 2.70) vs. Michael King (3-3, 4.29) Sat 5.11 5.40p: James Paxton (4-0, 3.06) vs. Matt Waldron (1-4, 5.82) Sun 5.12 1p: Walker Buehler (0-0. 6.75) vs Yu Darvish (2-1, 2.94)
2022 was not a good postseason for the Dodgers (losing the NLDS to San Diego)--and 2023 (getting swept in the NLDS by the Diamondbacks) wasn't any better. In both years, the Dodgers won the NL West by healthy margins (22 games and 16 games), and it didn't matter, with the team unable to even advance past its first playoff round.
So here we are, again well ahead in the NL West, but into the Friar's pan. We avoid seeing Dylan Cease (who just struck out 12 Cubs in seven innings on Wednesday), but we are still facing a guy who has already beaten us this year (King, who beat us in Korea game #2), not to mention old friend Darvish.
San Diego should be pumped to get their season in gear. The Dodgers walk in with a seven-game win streak.
What could possibly go wrong?

1-0 LA top of 2nd
Thanks spank! Sorry I’m late! Did this game start early?!
Lux with a leadoff walk in the third, and Outman Ks. Thanks, Tarzan
Outman needs to be sent down.
Mookie flies out.
game started @ 5:40 saxy
Geez, and fucking Shohei flies out. WTF, Dodgers? If Lux is lucky enough to get on base, you gotta score him
@spank: dammit, I thought it was 6:40p first pitch
We have wasted way too many opportunities already. Freeman leadoff double and Muncy whiffs yet again?!
I’m so done with James Outman. Send him to the minors to figure it out.
TeO!!!!!!!
i missed the grand slam. my stream froze before the pitch and when it came back he was getting high fives in the dugout
5-0 LA
it seems like every game Pages is doing something good.
Teo with the grand salami!
@spank, you gotta watch the highlight. There’s a guy behind home plate that will make the PGT (if we can hold on to win).
Muncy with a weak comebacker to start the eighth. Come on, Max!!! Get it back
great catch by Outman last inning
@spank: I missed the Outman catch!
Just like he's missing the fastball
Pages flares one to Tatis in shallow right, and he couldn't hold on.
Two out, Andy on first.
Pages steals second with Lux AB (full count)
That was Pages' first major league stolen base!
Lux Ks for the third out.
5-0 LA, mid-8
Yarbrough in for Varland to start the eighth.
Paxton's line tonight: 6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks.
Azocar pops to Mookie; then Campusano grounds to Mookie.
Muncy!! spectacular play
Hell of a defensive play by Muncy there to squash the rally (two on, two out)! Which is great, since he isn't hitting.
5-0 LA through 8
Outman living up to his name, with a three-pitch AB ground out.
James is 0-for-3 with a K tonight. His BA is .153.
Betts grounds out. He's 0-for-5 with a K today. Ugh.
But Mookie is batting .338.
Kike PH for Shohei?!
Kike called out on strikes. Yep.
We go to the bottom of the ninth: Machado, Bogearts, Solano.
Another great defensive play at third by Muncy to retire Machado.
Bogaerts Ks. Two out.
Donovan Solano HBP.
Ha-Seong Kim lines out to end the game!
WIN
that's a wrap for today.
Dodgers have now won three of seven from the Padres this year. Not great, but at least we've got a shot to win the series tomorrow.
Game 41 PGT up!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY SoSG nation
Thanks for the lineup, karen!
Thanks for giving up the lead already, Walker!
Buehler not good
damn. i thought Joe Davis and Orel were corny...the Padres announcers are worse. dancing around all dumb
Not so much fun yet
Great catch by Max
Down 2-0 and Mookie seems like he hasn't gotten a hit all month.
Buehler just loaded the bases.
Bases loaded, one out. Walker has only had one 1-2-3 inning today.
Yarbrough replaces Buehler after only 3.1 IP. 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 Ks, 2 HR. 6.14 ERA. Still very much a work in progress.
this is not gonna be good
gave up one run. could've been way worse
3-0 Mehs
I think I'm getting ready to take a nap.
Two on, two out, and Freddie called out on strikes. We are down 4-0 mid-8.
Not gonna happen today. Sorry, mom!
BOOOOOOOO
