The Dodgers just win. Per at MLB.com:
"I think we take pride in just how we play the game," manager Dave Roberts said. "When you're hearing things, people get ahead of things, different things in a Major League season happen, success, struggle, whatever it may be. For us each day to come in and win a game, that's the thing we're most excited about and obviously is a byproduct of us winning a lot of games."Last night Justin Turner lead the Dodgers with two home runs and four RBI's, and the Dodgers bullpen turned in another stellar performance. Overall, four relievers held the Padres scoreless for 3.2 inningd, recording four strike outs and allowing only one hit.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1980 the Dodgers signed amateur free agent pitcher Tom Niedenfuer out of Washington State University. IN a couple of years he would be a mainstay in the Dodgers bullpen -- recording 64 saves as a Dodger.

- Per Bill Shaikin at the LA Times; "Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is set to return, but he won't be an everyday player."
“All that he’s accomplished as an individual is incredible,” Roberts said, “but the one thing he wants to do is win a championship. … Any competitor wants to be in there every day. I would expect that from him as well. But the unselfishness that he has as a person and a player will allow me to make the decision that’s best for our ballclub.”

- Per Joshua Thornton at MLB.com; "Kershaw set for sim game on Wednesday."
"I think we've been pretty cautious," Roberts said. "Which is most important. … We're in a good place with Clayton. So hopefully this next marker we pass and we can assess going forward."
- Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com; "Hill OK after taking pitch to throat."
- Per Eric Stephen at True Blue LA; "Dodgers reportedly in line to host All-Star Game in 2020 or 2021."
- Per Alysha Tsuji at For the Win; "Justin Turner can't believe Ed Sheeran wore his Dodgers jersey at concert in Los Angeles."
- Per Mark Townsend at Big League Stew; "Young Dodgers fan has best reaction to Wil Myers stealing his foul ball."
- Per Bill Plaschke at the LA Times; "Brian Holton, the forgotten Dodger of '88, struggles to live in the present."
“I remember thinking, ‘So this is what it’s like to win a World Series,’ ” he said. “Today I’m like, ‘Holy cow, I was actually there.’ ”And then he wasn’t.
“I kept chasing that feeling from 1988, but I just never got it back,” he said. “I was living my dream, then it came down to the other part of my life, the reality part, and it wasn’t real good.”
- And this is why I like to thrift -- In hopes of finding a treasure like this. Per Sean Gentille at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette; "For $2.22 at a Goodwill, an intern bought a Hall of Famer's baseball bat."
What Hartley walked out of the building with was a lot cooler than a jacket, though. Mixed in with bins of yellowed books, legless G.I. Joes and cracked salt shakers was an old baseball bat. A really old baseball bat. A really valuable baseball bat....
A Harold “Pie” Traynor baseball bat, specifically; one the Pirates Hall of Fame third baseman used at some point between 1926 and 1934 that could be worth several thousand dollars, according to Troy R. Kinunen, the owner of Mears Auctions. The bat’s knob — thinner and far less pronounced than anything used by players for decades — tipped Hartley off.
