Game 146 Thread: Sept 9 vs. Reds, 7p

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8, 2.57) vs. Rhett Lowder (6-9, 5.43).

The Dodgers have beaten up on weaker teams for six consecutive wins, and while I'm not one to celebrate an outcome that is both expected as well as overdue--it is amazing to see that we've done this without Shohei Ohtani in the lineup (either performance-wise, or even physically some nights).

Kyle Tucker still isn't stepping up (except for a couple of great defensive plays this series!), but seeing Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez regain form...it gives me more hope for October than I had coming out of August.

We're now three games ahead in the second playoff spot, and only a game and half behind the Brewers for the best record in the National League. Let's continue resting that missing piece in the hopes it completes the whole in October.
