Game 20 Thread: April 16 vs. Rockies, 7p

Bobby Miller (0-0, -.--) vs. Germán Márquez (0-2, 4.60).

Before we get to the game, I gotta say: I really enjoy hearing Jessica Mendoza calling the game on color commentary. She is interesting, engaging, insightful, analytic, and even a little bit goofy. And she pairs really well with Stephen Nelson, who is much more controlled and not just bellowing hyperbole into the mike when he's sharing the booth with Mendoza.

But back to the series. Last night's win was a good one, and now the Dodgers are on the verge of a series sweep and have moved to second place, tied with the Giants, and 1.5 games behind the Padres despite our mediocre record, only 5-5 in their last 10. So let's get that sweep, Bobby!

Cubs are rolling over here and playing dead for the Padres. Machado just had an RBI single to extend the lead to 3-1 SD, B7 (@SD)

PCA leads off the 8th with a solo shot to right!

3-2 SD, T8

Padres win.

But, Giants were up 4-2 and Harper just tied the game for the Phillies! Tied at 4 through 4 frames.

Steve Sax said...

Geez, Phillies. Chapman hits a bloop to center with a man on second, and Phils CF lofts a throw to no one, scoring the runner and sending Chapman to third.

5-4 SF. T5

Phillies falling apart, it's 7-4 Giants in the sixth

I can't believe the bottom of our order is actually contributing tonight.

And we're still barely winning.

Conforto has a chance to open up this game huge.

Thursday's games (Dodgers idle today): SF took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but Philly has come storming back and now leads 3-1 with none out in the top of the bottom of the first.
