Game 61 Thread: June 2 @ Diamondbacks, 6.40p

Eric Lauer (2-5, 5.95) vs. Michael Soroka (7-2, 3.25).

The Diamondbacks squeezed the life out of the Dodgers last night, ceding an early run before slowly aspyxiating Emmet Sheehan, and eventually Jack Dreyer, to regain the lead and slither to a 4-1 victory.

But the Dodgers lost the first game against San Diego before taking the series; and they did the same with the Brewers recently. So maybe we'll shove back against the Snakes tonight?

Looking good so far. 4-0 Dodgers in the second.

Ugh. I looked and it was 6-2 LA, and now it's 6-5 through 8. Kyle Hurt was ineffective in the bottom fo the seventh. Dodgers escape the eighth only on a Arenado GIDP.

Ohtani Ks on four pitches. One out.

Steve Sax said...

Betts grounds out to strand Pages on first. So we go to the bottom of the ninth.

So here's Tanner Scott. Yikes. He has two strikes on Waldschmidt, called strike 3 overturned by ABS, and then two more pitches later gets the swinging K.

One out.

Steve Sax said...

Perdomo with a sac bunt for the second out (Scott makes a great throw to first). Pavin Smith up with a runner on second.

Steve Sax said...

1-2 pitch juuuuuuust missed.

Steve Sax said...

Tanner gets Smith to ground to Freeland, 4-3 groundout.

WIN!

Nice to see Tanner Scott get back on the horse there. I'll take it!

Steve Sax said...

Thanks for the lineup, @Q7!
