Game 156 Thread: September 21 vs. Giants, 1p

Emmet Sheehan (6-3, 3.17) vs. Old McDonald (EI-EIO, 9.00).

After winning the first two games in this four-game set, it looked like the Dodgers--at least, Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow--were going to let yesterday's game slide. Glasnow gave up four runs in the first inning, in which the Giants batted around.

But leave it to the Dodgers' stars to usher in another comeback victory. The first six players in the Dodgers lineup: Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, max Muncy, Teoscar Hernandez, and Tommy Edman--all had hits in this game, including three home runs (Muncy, Edman, Ohtani) and 6 total RBI.

And then, contributions from a very unlikely source: light hitting Michael Conforto, again raising his average above .200 for the first time since April 2025, went 3-for-4 for the second time in a week (and only the fifth time this year). We will take it, even if I really think this is a mirage (Conforto's other 3-for-4 this week was also against the Giants).

Today is the last game of the series and then final home game of the 2025 regular season.

Let's keep our foot on the gas pedal!

I didn't think Kersh could squeeze any more tears out of me but here I go.

Conforto brings in Muncy and finally we are on the board. 1-0 Blue B7.
