Game 133 Thread: August 26 vs. Reds, 7p

Clayton Kershaw (8-2, 3.13) vs. Nick Martinez (10-0, 4.59).

Andy Pages singlehandedly beat the Reds last night. Let's hope someone else can Nick the Reds' starting pitcher today, give Clayton Kershaw some runs with which to work, and extend our divisional lead on the Padres beyond one measly game.

Vesia placed on IL with oblique soreness.

I'm hoping it's safe to be cautiously optimistic.

Dodgers tie it up on the Reds 'Padre like' defense. 1-1 B1.

Kike sac fly brings in Teo. 2-1 Boys B4.

Mariners come back from 5 runs down to lead Friars 6-5.

@karen: I've got the Mariners game on as well!

Leadoff double for Gavin Sheets, off of former Dodger Caleb Ferguson, to start the top of the sixth in Seattle.

Steve Sax said...

Laureano double, but Sheets only advances to third. Still none out.

Steve Sax said...

Meanwhile, Nick Martinez got both Ohtani and Betts to fly out to start the fifth.

Steve Sax said...

Kershaw done after five innings. One run, two hits. Wow.

Steve Sax said...

Ferguson is really struggling here. Base hit RBI, tie game.

Steve Sax said...

Edgardo Henriquez gives up a leadoff single to start the sixth. Not good.

Steve Sax said...

Padres take the lead, 7-6

Steve Sax said...

Henriquez gives up another single. Why did we take Kershaw out again?!

Steve Sax said...

Henriquez gets a lucky bunt double play, and then a fly out to left. Mid-6.

Steve Sax said...

2-1 LA, mid-6

Steve Sax said...

Slappy solo shot! 3-1 LA

Steve Sax said...

Pages one-out double in the sixth chases Nick Martinez. Brent Suter in to pitch.

Steve Sax said...

6-1 Dodgers on the Ohtani RBI single.

Did Rojas come up limping when he scored?

Steve Sax said...

6-1 LA, end 6

Steve Sax said...

Casparius gives up two in the seventh. 6-3 LA, mid-7

astronomy sucks

Steve Sax said...

Mariners are getting to Mason Miller. Julio Rodriguez works a two-out walk, and Josh Naylor singles him over to third. But they haven't scored yet.

Steve Sax said...

Suarez grounds out to short.

7-6 Padres, end 7

Steve Sax said...

Slappy earns a leadoff walk in the seventh.

Steve Sax said...

Teo forces Slappy for the first out.
