Dustin May (2-4, 4.09) vs. Tanner Bibee (4-4, 3.57).
Last night, out of the spotlight of nationally-broadcast television, felt like the type of road game the Dodgers should be playing: solid pitching that goes relatively deep with efficiency (Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 6.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB and 7 Ks across 88 pitches); power hitting (Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith solo HRs) as well as timely hitting (4-for-8 with RISP, including a nice two-out rally in the sixth with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman RBI singles); and only one error (this time, not from Max Muncy!).
The Guardians are solid: behind the Tigers in the AL Central, but in the first wild card position in the American League. Tanner Bibee has also been solid for the Guardians, while Dustin May has shown flashes of brilliance in 2025 but a lack of consistency between starts. Let's see how today plays out.

CT3(3) just doesn't look right in red. Still, I'm happy he's local and won't have to pack up his family and move them.
I'm excited for CT3 as well. He needed a change of scenery, and the Angels need some better production from CF.
He went 0-for-3 with 2Ks yesterday, his first start as an Angel.
Today's lineup:
Ohtani DH
Betts SS
Freeman 1B
T Hernandez RF
Muncy 3B
Pages CF
Conforto LF
Rushing C
Edman 2B
May P
I saw last night that Freddie donated 1 mil to the hospital that cared for Max last year.
That's awesome of Freddie!
Freeman with a two-out single, but Teo Ks. 0-0, mid-1
Freeman donates $1M to CHOC
I have heard from sources that Freeman has also done some special things for the CHOC staff. That's great.
Steven Kwan singles and promptly steals second. None out, B1
I'm only able to listen to today's game (and "watch" on the GameDay app), so you'll have to help me understand what's going on here.
Nope, Dodgers challenge the call, and Kwan is erased. Nice job, Rushing! (Barnes could not have done that.)
It took Dustin 11 pitches, but he gets Jose Ramirez to K for the third out.
Rick Monday is insinuating that May might be tipping pitches?
0-0 through 1
Muncy walks (to leadoff the inning), steals second, and scores on a Pages single to right!
1-0 LA, T2
Conforto actually singles?!
Men at corners, none out.
Rushing RBI single!

Edman GIDPs because Rushing got in the way. Conforto to third, Ohtani IBBd.

2-0 LA; should have been more.
Freddie K's with bases loaded. 2-0 Blue.

4-0 LA, mid-4
Jose Ramirez singles to start the fourth inning
We're back on the national stage this weekend...starting with the wretched AppleTv on Friday.
What is up with Santana's pants??
Ouch!! Code Red knew that was gone as soon as her threw it. 4-3 LA B4.
Schneeman with a three-run HR. It's now 4-3 LA, one out in the fourth.

CONFORTO HR WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Edman Ks to end the sixth.

Seven-pitch inning.
5-3 LA through six.
Ohtani Ks. One out.

Pages singles, and it's misplayed by Guardians CF Angel Martinez, so Teoscar (who would have been held) scores. 6-3 LA, second and third with none out.
Conforto walks the bases loaded.
Rushing fooled by a changeup and Ks, and then Edman GIDPs to end the inning. Dammit!!!
