Last night was another tough loss for the Dodgers. On a night that saw returning pitcher Rich Hill go five strong innings with six hits allowed, one walk and one earned run, the Dodgers are unable to muster enough offense. At least it was a close one, though. The Dodgers lost
2-1. Per
Cary Osborne at Dodger Insider:
“The ball came out of my hand well — not 100 percent the way I wanted
to — but the one mistake to Brandon on a curveball that kind of hung,”
Hill told SportsNet LA’s Alanna Rizzo. “But overall everything came out
the way I wanted to and the finger felt good. No issues there.”

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1947 slugger Hank Greenberg reached out to Jackie Robinson during a game at Forbes Field. While standing on first base he asked Jackie if he was hurt during a collision with him earlier in the game and then says, "Stick in there. You're doing fine. Keep your chin up." Knowing that Greenberg knew first hand the difficulties he had been facing, due to his own Jewish heritage, Jackie named him his "diamond hero." In 1978 Lee Lacy hit his third consecutive home run as a pinch-hitter -- becoming the first player to have ever done so.
