Blog Kiosk: 8/30/2016 Dodgers Links - Puig, Bellinger and Adrian Gonzalez
Before the start of the misery that was yesterdays ballgame, Dodgers slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez spent the early afternoon enjoying the beauty and majesty of Denver's Downtown Aquarium, as evidenced by a pic he tweeted out.
As for the game, let's just forget all about it. After all, we wasted a good start by Kenta Maeda. He went five innings and gave up two earned runs on four hits - leaving the Dodgers still contention to take the game. The Rockies scoring at that point was as an result of a two-run homer by Nick Hundley. Per Ken Gurnick and Ben Weinrib at MLB.com:
"Overall I thought I pitched pretty well," said Maeda. "That one pitch, a slider, was definitely a mistake pitch. I always want to pitch longer, but that one pitch led to the team losing. It was very regrettable."Frankly, it was a five run seventh inning by Colorado ruined it all.
"It got away from us," said Roberts. "I liked the matchup with Grant and we got a scoreless inning there. And this park, if you keep it close, you have a chance, but it just didn't go our way tonight."Heck, when you only score a single run in Coors Field you are not likely to win. With the 8-1 loss the Dodgers now hold a precarious 1.5 game lead over the Giants. Below are more links to check out:
- Today in Dodger History: In 1952 former Dodger infielder Arky Vaughn dies in a fishing accident. He drowned in a lake near Eagleville, CA when his boat capsized. In 1953 Roy Campanella tied a NL record for RBI's by a catcher at 122. He would finish the year with a Major League best 142 RBI's for a catcher.
