Dodgers look for sweep against Twins

The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken the first two games from the Minnesota Twins, but will face their best starter in Wednesday night’s game. Joe Ryan was pushed back from Tuesday’s start to give him a few days to rest after an illness. Ryan threw 97 pitches in his last outing, striking out seven and […]

Dodgers notes: Kyle Tucker, Dalton Rushing, Freddie Freeman

The Dodgers snapped their two-game losing streak on Monday against the Minnesota Twins, but both Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing exited early and were out of the lineup on Tuesday. After Tucker walked in his lone plate appearance on Monday, he was crouching in agony on the base paths, as Alex Call replaced him on […]

After the start of the game was delayed 28 minutes, the first two Dodgers hitters were walking in the rain against rookie reliever Kendry Rojas. Two outs later, Tommy […]

Right-hander Joe Ryan, who was originally tabbed to start on Friday, will be on the mound for the Twins in the series finale. Tuesday game info

Dodgers no-hit relievers

The Dodgers got about as good of a pitching game as they could have hoped for in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins. Eric Lauer followed an opener on Monday, in part to avoid having him face Byron Buxton three times. Buxton proved why by hitting his 25th home run of the season in […]

Christian Zazueta wins Midwest League pitcher of the week

Right-hander Christian Zazueta bid a fabulous adieu to High-A Great Lakes by winning Midwest League pitcher of the week. Awarded on Monday, Zazueta pitched five perfect innings last Thursday for the Loons with seven strikeouts against the Lake County Captains. That was the 21-year-old’s final start for Great Lakes, as Zazueta is getting promoted to […]

Eric Lauer dominates in a one-run win for the Dodgers

Out-homering the opposition paved the way for the Dodgers to narrowly beat the Twins 2-1 in a game in which stringing hits together proved to be quite the challenge for either side. While no one can quite match Shohei Ohtani when it comes to mesmerizing displays of power with the bat, among those who come […]

Dodgers activate Brock Stewart; send down Chayce McDermott

Formerly of the Twins, as recently as last season, Brock Stewart has been activated just in time for the Dodgers’ three-game set against Minnesota. Making room for Stewart’s presence on the roster—freshly recovered from a bone spur on his left foot—the Dodgers sent down right-hander Chayce McDermott. McDermott’s latest stint on the big league club […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, June 23 at Twins

The Dodgers and Minnesota Twins continue their series on Tuesday night at Target Field in Minneapolis. Justin Wrobleski takes the ball for the Dodgers. Twins ace Joe Ryan was originally scheduled to be on the mound for the home team, but he is out sick and left-hander Kendry Rojas will start instead. Tuesday’s game will […]

Dodgers have yet to lose with Eric Lauer on the mound

Four games and four wins. That’s the track record of today’s starter for the Dodgers, Eric Lauer, as he gets ready to face the Twins in a second straight appearance against an American League team. The Dodgers knew exactly what they were getting after acquiring Lauer a little more than a month ago, and they […]

Dodgers Week 13: One-run wins, one bad loss

The Dodgers won four one-run games in a row last week against the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, their longest such streak since 2010. Then they lost a one-run game on Saturday before turning in a clunker, a 12-1 loss on Sunday. That’s still a 4-2 week, but the two losses represented the first […]

Dodgers minors: Chris Newell, Brooks Auger shine on Sunday

Three out of four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Sunday. Player of the day Chris Newell had two singles in his last 30 at-bats before hitting two home runs to deliver a win on Saturday. Then the Tulsa outfielder hit two more home runs on Sunday, part of a three-hit day that also included […]

Dodgers routed by Orioles, suffer first losing streak in over a month

After five consecutive one-run games, the Dodgers on Sunday closed out the homestand with a literal one-run game on offense. Unfortunately for them, the Baltimore Orioles scored a dozen runs, romping through Los Angeles in a 12-1 victory. Emmet Sheehan allowed half of those 12 runs while recording only 10 outs. The big blows were […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, June 22 at Twins

The Dodgers have no more home games remaining in June after Sunday, as they start a nine-game road trip on Monday against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis. This is the fourth consecutive series for Los Angeles against American League teams. Left-hander Eric Lauer gets the ball in the series opener, making his […]

Chris Newell homers twice in Tulsa win, Oklahoma City wins shutout

Two of three Dodgers affiliates that played on Saturday won their games. Player of the day Tulsa outfielder Chris Newell was designated to hit on Saturday, and that he did. He hit the game-tying home run in the ninth inning, then smashed the game-winning two-run shot in the 11th. Triple-A Oklahoma City Cole Irvin pitched […]

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was tasked with extending the Dodgers’ win streak to five on Saturday, but a complete lack of run support and a “lack of feel” on the mound sunk him in. Yamamoto was tagged for three runs against the Baltimore Orioles, the first time he had given up more than one run in any […]

Dodgers comeback attempt falls short in loss to Orioles

One game after a magical walk-off against the Baltimore Orioles, the Dodgers couldn’t get the job done again on Saturday as they fell 3-2. After both teams could muster just one walk in the first inning, Baltimore began the top of the second against Yoshinobu Yamamoto with a pair of singles from Leody Taveras and […]

Blake Treinen on injured list, Dodgers recall Chayce McDermott

Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with right elbow inflammation, and right-hander Chayce McDermott was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of the middle game of a weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles at Dodger Stadium. Treinen struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning in Friday night’s […]
