Ryu was masterful again. Although he didn't come away with a victory, he did pitch six scoreless innings to reduce his league-leading ERA down to 1.66. His efforts also lead to Dodger victory #71.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1906 Brooklyn hurler Harry McIntire lost his no-hit bid in the 10th inning when he yielded a single to Pirates second baseman Claude Ritchey. He and the Dodgers would then lose the game in 13 innings due to an unearned run, 1-0. In 1924 Dazzy Vance struck out seven consecutive Cub batters to set a major league record. The Brooklyn Robins would win the game, 4-0. In 1957 Gil Hodges hit not only his 13th grand slam of his career to set a new National League record, but it also proved to be the last grand slam in the history of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 2015 Clayton Kershaw battled Mike Trout, marking the first time that reigning MVPs had faced each other. Trout would go 0-for-3 against Kersh; including a first inning strike out, as the Dodgers defeat the Angels, 3-1.
- Happy Birthday, Joe Shaute, Howard Freigau, Myron White, Dave Anderson& Brian Bohanon!
- Per Neil Paine at Five Thirty Eight -- "The Dodgers Are Baseball’s Most Versatile Team."
- This is really stupid, but I'm posting it anyway. Via Andrew Sheeler and Bryan Anderson at the Sacramento Bee -- "Kamala Harris, avowed Giants fan, sports Dodgers cap at CNN debate walkthrough."
- Via Jack Baer at Yahoo Sports -- "Astros become World Series favorites in Vegas with Zack Greinke onboard."
- Gingergaard is coming. Via Mark Polishuk at MLB Trade Rumors -- "Dodgers To Promote Dustin May."
May boasts a three-pitch arsenal that includes a two-seam fastball that can touch 97mph, a cutter that reaches the low-90s, and an impressive curveball. On the 20-80 scouting scale, MLB.com ranks all three pitches with at least a 60-grade, topped off with a 65-grade fastball. May throws a lot of strikes, and doesn’t allow many walks or home runs. While his 27 1/3 innings in Triple-A is a small sample size, May didn’t allow a single homer during his brief stint in the very hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

- You all know Negrón now! Per Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA -- "There’s a New Kid in Town."
- Via Jorge Castillo at The LA Times -- "Manager Dave Roberts recalls the pain of being traded by the Dodgers."
The club sent him to the Boston Red Sox for minor leaguer Henri Stanley. He was shocked. He cried. His wife was pregnant with their daughter and he was uprooting the family to move to the opposite coast. His life was rocked.“Those are things that people can’t discount, but it’s part of our business,” Roberts said. “But that was a big blow for me.”
