he looks to make a comeback here in the second half of this season.
Shortly, we'll visit with Kirsten Watson and in just a few minutes we'll check
you out on Rick Monday and Tim Neffett out the Galpa Motors broadcast booth well
last night in Detroit. Paxton had some early problems, but the Dodgers offense
fixed those problems late. James Paxxon the big Maple. He got the start.
He would pitch into the fourth inning in a high pitch count, and
he gave up some early runs three runs and all five hits while walking four.
The Tigers jumped on Paxson in the first Riley Green a two run double
Dodgers a two to nothing lead. Then in the second at two out RBI
triple as the Tigers took a three to nothing leave. The Dodgers' offense struggled
the first time through the lineup, Trek Skobelop carve it up the Dodgers' hitters.
However, things would turn around for the Dodgers and the fourth thanks to
Freddy Freeman won two pitch. Freddy hits this one deep to right Fia going
back. This ball is got a home run. Freddy Freeman has hit his
fourteenth home run of a season that gets the Dodgers on the board. It
is three to one, four hundred and five feet to right center field.
First hit of the game for the Dodgers was a home run. They're down
three to one when they weren't done in the inning, Taskar Hernandez walked.
Two batters later, Andy pie has droven in with an RBI single, the
Dodgers down just three to two. Fast forward to the eighth Dodgers a little
two out in Magic Will Smith is single, Freddie Freeman is single. Then
ta Oscar Hernandez delivered with a single to right scoring Will Smith, and that
tied the game at three. Then in the top of the ninth, Chris
Taylor a one out single. Austin Barnes single to center. Two batters later,
two to one, two out for show Hey won an oto Otani the
pitch show Hey swings and hammers won deep center field. This ball is gonna
bounce off the track, off the wall and go into the bushes. Taylor
will score. Bines will be sent back to third in the second with a
run scoring double. The show Hey o'tany and for the first time tonight,
the Dodgers lead the ball game. It's four to three, two out,
ground rule double for show Hey, giving the Dodgers the lead for the first
time. The bottom of the ninth it belonged to Daniel Hudson, who made
things interesting with back to back walks with one out. However, he got
out of his own jama strike out a flyout to end the game. Dodgers,
in their four game losing streak, k comeback and went in Detroit last
night four to three. The Dodgers offense delivered late, but also how about
the Dodgers bullpen, combining for five and a third shutout innings. With the
win, Dodgers now fifty six and thirty nine. Their lead in the division
is eight games over both the Diamondbacks and the Padres. Quick turnaround for the
boys in Blue back at it day game after a night game. Justin Robluski
on the mound, first pitch coming up at ten ten and with more let's
head out to the Galbu Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Rick Monday and
Tim Never guys. Thank you Tim. Great afternoon for a ball game of
the Motor City. As the Dodgers looked to win their second game against the
Detroit Tigers last night, a thriller come from behind win, tying it in
the eighth, going ahead in the ninth, the bullpen doing an exceptional job,
The wheels were in motion managerially, and even the guys in the video
room had a big impact on the game last night. You had a little
bit of everything, had a little bit of everything. And for the video
room, kudos two for two and really big big points. There was a
runner safe or out, and for the video guys, you know, we
look at that and it can really kind of turn the mode. And the
doctors had to rely upon a couple of very critical calls and being able to
go forward. You mentioned the bullpen. How about this in the bullpen,
I mean they started if we look back to Wednesday, for example, the
Dodgers bullpen on the road this year the lowest era of any team in baseball.
Now the average is just over four runs every nine innings, bullpens on
the road well, the Dodgers under two and a half, and they have
stood tall in particular last night, coming in five and a third innings,
they covered no runs, just three hits, struck out six on top of
it, and the Diamers had to go to the bullpen five different arms called
upon. Now, the Dodgers start the day fifty six and thirty nine.
They are eight games up on the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres, who
are now tied for second place. The Tigers forty five and fifty and in
the American League Central Division in fourth place, they are thirteen games behind the
leaders, the Cleveland Guardians. So this interleague matchup today, the Dodgers have
done very well in interleague play fourteen and seven. Meantime, the Tigers are
fifteen and seventeen. They're getting towards the end of their end play. The
pitching matchup, Justin Robleski will make his second start as a Major leaguer Kaider
Montero one and two. He's up from TRIPAA for his fifth appearance and his
fourth start. So a couple of young pitchers going at it today, and
with the way the Dodgers started hitting the ball in clutch situations late in the
game. Maybe they're just about ready to break out and start doing better with
runners and scoring position. Yeah, wouldn't that be a nice thing. The
Dodger's going with the more left handed hitters in the lineup today. Oh Tani,
the lefty freeman, the lefty. He's in there, Gavin lux is
at second base, Calvin Bigio gets to start at third base, and in
the left handed batter and at the bottom of the order. Maybe the hottest
hitter on this Dodger back club, that being Austin Barnes six consecutive games.
He's hit in two in particular, came in last night and delivered a base
hit that coming in the ninth inning as well. So this Dodger ball club,
maybe on a roll, snapped that four game losey streak looking for victory
number fifty seven of the year. It was a win that they needed to
have last night. They found a way and shohey O'tani had the clutch hit
in the ninth. Then they missing a home run by a few feet,
but it hit off the warning track and dead center field bounced ump into the
bushes for a ground rule double. For a clutch hit, and prior to
that he had struggled a bit. He grounded out, flied out twice,
and then struck out in the eighth inning before having the big clutch hit in
the ninth. Well, Otani, if we look at the last ten games,
he's eight for thirty three. That's the two to forty two batting average
against. One thing that we see each in every game. Pitchers go very
carefully in how they worked to it Tony last night. They tried to keep
the ball away most of the time and then occasionally trying to pop it inside
and surprise him on that fast boat in on his hands. One thing we'll
see if the Dodgers can do first today, that is score a run.
Ten times in the last twelve games the opposition has scored first, and when
the Dodgers score first, they've got the best record in Major League Baseball at
forty one and six. We'll see if they can get on the board right
away in this ball game this afternoon, Dodgers Tigers Interleague Baseball in Detroit,
Game two of this three game weekend series coming up. Tim all right,

is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson Kirston now joint sess from Komericall Park before Game
two. There's three game set curiously before we get in today and last night
the Dodgers come back a thrilling come from behind win there against the Tigers.
Got a little hairy there with Daniel Hudson on the Mounta lay, but they
persevered and got the win they did. And even I spoke with Daniel today
and he was saying that it was a really frustrating outing for him because he
just was like, you know, obviously there's gonna be times where you don't
really feel like you have your stuff, but he felt like he had it
to take control of the situation. But those walks, he was just like,
you know, the emotions were getting a little high. So when Will
and Mark probably went out there, give him a little because he was telling
me he was like, you know, top of mind was this team put
in so much fight in effort to come back in this situation, to put
themselves in a chance to win, to the bullpen, giving the support to
James Paxton, the offense finding ways to get going and passing the baton.
So he wanted it really badly, so just to get out of it.
That was everything for him. You know, he was saying, hopefully he
is available today and as wells tomorrow, so hopefully he can be a little
bit cleaner with it if he gets back out there. So he was saying,
you know, now I get to reset and then it's go time.
But he definitely felt good about just getting out of it because he knew how
badly this team wanted to win. Dodgers sending out Justin Robleski the rookie game
too today against the Tigers and his major league debut last weekend against Milwaukee.
Yeah, it's going to be his second career start, and he is someone
who there's going to be some opportunity for him to find a way to stay
in this rotation if he can continue to perform. So when I spoke with
him the other day, he told me, as much as he was excited
about making his debut, you know, the runs he put up, that
wasn't a good outing to him. There were some positives, and he felt
good about that. But he's hoping that this one, you know, he
doesn't have the stress and the nerves of the major league debut, he can
go out there and have a really strong one. I noticed that yesterday during
the game. He is someone who takes a lot of notes, like he
was literally he had his notebook in the dugout with him and after different at
bats he was writing things down. So I was asking Dave today, just
what have you learned about Justin? He said, he's a very cerebral player
and he likes to take in a lot of information and have a lot of
conversation. So the hope is that that can prove to be beneficial for him,
not only today but also just in his career. Dave was saying,
you know, he does feel like Justin's time is now. You know,
we're seeing a lot of guys who are coming up and very deserving for these
opportunities. So if he can continue to perform, there will be opportunity for
him. Because we're still waiting for whether it's Clayton Kershaw who has his rehab
start today and is going to have at least one more before he can return.
Yoshiobu's only started playing catch, so if Bobby Miller might take a little
bit more time at Triple A. There's an even Tyler glass now with his
backs I see. So the list goes on. But you know there's there
might be some time before these guys can return so that they're fully healthy,
and so if Justin can be that guy right now, that would be huge
for this rotation. Yeah, Dodgers definitely need I'm Curriston. We appreciate.

Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in
the dugouts with Dave Robberts Dave first, just with Justin Robleski today. What
are you hoping to see from him in his second career start? I think
more the same. Really, d has good composure. I like this stuff
and just build on it. I mean, this guy is unfazed. It's
been fun to watch so far, you know, the first one. Even
seeing him today in the clubhouse just kind of it's a calm demeanor. So
we'll see and you know, we'll try to piece it together and get to
this break. I saw him yesterday like he was kind of taking notes during
the game and he was watching it. Does he seem like he's someone who
likes to take in a lot of information ahead of starts. Yeah, he
is, and he's very prepared. He I think he's very cerebral in the
sense of likes to put his thoughts on paper so he can retain it more
does his own homework, you know, even talking to Mark Pryor, He's
very prepared and uses the information that the coaches give him the catchers, but
also has his own kind of idea which I like. So it's a different
approach. It's an old school approach which I can really appreciate. All Right,
there's Dave Roberts down the dugout talking about Justin Robleski, who gets to
start this afternoon. Dave Roberts, brought to you by Service Titan. Dave's

Kats on Dodgers on Deck, I accept everybody for who they are. This
is Dodger insider David Basse. All right, David, the man they call
Robo on the mount. Justin Robleski making his second start in a Dodger uniform
against the Brewers. A couple of mistakes hurt him, but otherwise pitch pretty
good. Yeah, he did. Last Sunday at Dodger Stadium. He gave
up four runs in his major league debut, a pair of two run home
runs. But you heard Dave Roberts mention it, Tim, and I'm sure
Dave and Mark Pryor were very impressed that the Skett and report on Justin Robleski
from his Triple A manager Travis Barbery. Is his preparation and how detail oriented
his process is to get ready to game plan against the lineup. And I'm
sure it's been a lot easier for him this week knowing that he is going
to face the Tigers this afternoon. And here's what Justin Robleski had to say
about his major league debut after last Sunday's game. Yeah, I felt good.
It was just kind of a matter of being grateful for the moment and
just kind of That's kind of the big theme is I was kind of on
the way over here today, it's just like I'm really thankful for the opportunity
and you know, at this point, like you're already here, like let's
just do it. And I had a lot of fun. I was.
I felt pretty comfortable out there, so I think I didn't think I was
gonna I thought I was gonna be pretty nervous, but I was just kind
of, I don't know, like any other game. I just felt normal,
felt like I belonged. So it was a lot of fun. Hey,
that's good news that he felt like he belonged. Hopefully he feels that
way when he takes the mound against the Tigers this afternoon. He's going to
bring his ninety seven miles an hour with him on the mound today. For
Clayton Kershaw DV it's a big day for him later, right, huge day
tim not just because he's making a rehab start and not just because he's going
to pitch three innings for Oklahoma City today. But if you remember the last
time he tried to do this in his recovery from left shoulder surgery, the
Dodgers had to put him on ice for a I would say seven to ten
days, and he did need some quartizone shots to cool down the inflammation in
his left shoulder. So today's a big day to see whether or not his
shoulder responds to pitch three innings A and B tomorrow. How does he feel
when he wakes up, Because after his last rehab start at Rancho Kuckamonga,
where he only pitched two innings day after, he felt a lot of soreness,
and that's when the Dodgers and Kershaw had to put things on pause.
David is driven by Ford. If there's one thing we like, its choices,
find yours with the Ford F one to fifty gas Hybrid or the all
electric tough This mark can only be called F one fifty all right. In
a lineup that's got Otani and Freeman and tay Oscar Hernandez, one guy who's
really heating up right now is Austin Barnes yees seven game hitting streak, Tim
and I know that doesn't sound impressive, but it's more impressive than what you
believe, considering he only plays once a week, and that makes it a
lot harder when you're supposed to be a defensive catcher and play once a week
and get four at bats and be expected to be a three hundred hitter.
If you look around the league, most backup catchers are in the two hundred
two to fifty batting average range. But Dave Roberts obviously has to make a
decision. Is he going to play Will Smith today or is he going to
play Will Smith in the day game tomorrow. So he opted for Austin Barnes
today, and the confidence has got to be high, especially since Barnes came
off the bench yesterday in the ninth inning and delivered a basit to set up
show heyo Tani's heroics with two outs. So he's going to keep writing that
OG twenty seventeen, Austin Barnes. Let's hope it continues today. David,
appreciate it. We'll check back you with you in just a little bit.
Coming up, we'll hear from Rich Hill, former Dodger left hander, could
be a big piece to somebody's team come the second half of this season,
you'll hear from him coming up in about fifteen minutes to also dive deeper into
this pitching matchup. But up next your Dodgers Magical Moment lean you up to

and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday. Rick, I hate to overemphasize any
win in the month of July, but I felt like that was a huge
win, especially the way the Dodgers did it yesterday against Trek Schouble and the
Tigers. I agree. I agree, Tim Neverett and Dwayne McDonald they both
agree as well. You know we watched it close and personal last night.
I think also because you're trying to break a four game losing streak, and
the Dodgers were not playing particularly well. Well last night they finally got a
couple of base hits three exact with runners in scoring position. But on this
road trip, David, four games into it, the Dodgers are hitting just
one eighty nine with runners in scoring position, and if you look at the
last seven games, they're barely above the Mendoza liigned. But last night,
you know, here's a lot of different keys. I mean, you look
at Freeman hit the home run RBI single by Andy Pahees, and then to
asker her Nanez the RBI single in the eighth inning, and then the RBI
doubled by show Hey Otani that broke up the tie, and eventually the Dodgers
walk away where they four to three victory. But here's something that I think
maybe gets overlooked, and it shouldn't. The bullpen last night went five and
a third inning, no runs, three hits, and six strikeouts. And
you begin to look at what the bullpen has done recently. They have been
absolutely fantastic, and they've had to be because the starting pitching. If we
look at the last fifty three in the third innings. The Dodger's starting pitching,
they've given up fifty five runs in those fifty three in the third,
so the bullpen has had to come in and really shut down the opposing club.
And that's exactly what they did last night. Five and a third scoreless
innings, only three hits, and struck out six. How about Daniel Hudson
in the ninth inning rick He obviously did not have his best stuff, but
he found a way to get through it. And I think also, you
know he walked the two guys after the leadoff strikeout. But I think he's
one of those guys too that I use this term a few different times.
He's a good observer, and by that I'm talking about if he sees a
weak swing at a certain pitch and an ideal location, he's going to hunt
that pitch again. He's going to go after it again. And that's exactly
what he was able to do. Hey, I don't know how your day
started off, but mine started off pretty well. First of all, it's
an early wake up call here in Detroit with the day game, and come
to the ballpark, walking into the booth and then went down to get a
nice little cold beverage before the ball game, and I ran into Kirk Gibson
and just had a nice little talk. Kirk is going to be coming out
to LA for the Dodger reunion of former players that will be next month.
I forget the exact date on it, but he's looking forward to that.
He looks good, and we just talked about baseball for a while, and
it's just really kind of neat to sit down and talk to somebody that not
only was an outstanding player, but also from our standpoint, had a great
deal to leave his fingerprint on Dodger baseball, a fingerprint that will last forever.
Rick, I've never asked you this. Can you share with us where
you were when Kirk Gibson hit his home run against Dennis Eckersley at the time.
I don't know exactly where I was, but I was doing at that
time I was doing. I was anchoring the sports at Channel eleven in LA
and the following year went down to San Diego to do the broadcasting there with
the Poundraiser, four years before coming back to the Dodgers. But it was
one of those moments that time kind of stands still and the people around you.
I think if you're not there at the stadium and you see something that
takes place, or you hear something that takes place, and then there's this
eruption of emotion from people around you, those are the special moments that you
just it's difficult to repeat those moments in life. Well, I feel like
people remember. Fans remember where they were when Kirk Gibson hit his home run,
and also fans remember, if they're old enough, where they were on
Blue Monday when Rick Monday hit his home run in Montreal. So two guys
that have two of the biggest home runs in Dodger history sharing the press box
together in Detroit. We had fun. David, Hey, I have a
great day and talk to you tomorrow morning. Okay, sounds good, have
a great call. We'll talk to Rick and Tim Nevert a little bit later
in the show. For now, we'll send it back to you, Tim,

will play the full interview coming up next week during our All Star break,
but here is a portion of our conversation with the great Rich Hill. Thanks
for having me, Dave well one introduction, jeez, you got well.
Thank you. You deserve it. I appreciate it. How's everything going.
It's going great. I mentioned to the fans and I reminded them about your
genius plan to spend time with your family the first half of the season and
then be able to decide which team you wanted to pitch for that is not
able to land pitching at the trade deadline. Have you seen your vision start
to come to fruition. Yeah, you know, everything that I can control
as as a player and getting ready for that moment when it comes around.
And certainly, uh, I've been taken care of with working out and throwing
and you know, getting after it in bullpen. So uh, you know,
the next step is really facing some hitters here in the next actually next
week, and then having that advance into the next three weeks. So that
would be really almost like the three weeks of spring training, uh, you
know, as as probably a little bit more expedited just facing hitters and getting
ready. But everything's been, you know, basically on track, and I've
felt really good about where I'm at right now. So you have been throwing
bullpen sessions. How extensive are these bullpen sessions? This week through a sixty
five pitch bullpen. Yeah, it's been you know, and then tomorrow another
one. I'm going to go back to back just to continue to keep building
up and really some obviously fashion of what spring training would consist of as well.
But yeah, these are bullpens that are you know, pretty intense,
you know, full effort bullpens. It's not you know, just a white
bullpen or just trying to get my feet under me. So you know,
the work that's being done has been pretty aggressive. All right, Richie,
you said you're going to start facing hitters. Where will you go to find
those hitters? Will you go to the Cape League? Will you go to
M. I. T. Harvid? Where will you go to find those
hitters? Well? Well, well we'll see you know, next week.
There's been been a couple couple opportunities. We're you know, talking to some
some some former teammates that are actually coaching right now, a few teams here
and there in the Northeast. So, uh well, like I said,
you know, I think it's going to be a few days beforehand when this
this kind of decision is made where I'm going to go and throw these these
bullpends of space hitters or you know, live vps. I guess if you
want to call it now. As far as the extent of going in and
pitching somewhere, I think that the idea would probably kind of be, you
know, to get some more uh numbers and analytics and kind of break down
with pitches for teams to be able to see and you know, I guess
figure out what their what their needs are, and and and if what I'm
bringing to the table is something that fits there, uh fits their their wants
as well. Are you gonna have one of these showcase uh outings where we
hear about pictures throwing in front of like five or six teams. Yeah,
it could be something like that. I mean also, you know it's gonna
be a it's gonna be a good fit for uh, you know, myself
as well. This isn't just you know, something that's kind of you know,
whatever comes across the desk, you know, you take it's it's really
something that's kind of you know, a team that's that's focused and concentrated and
looking forward to winning a championship and and you know, having that focus every
single day when they come in the clubhouse. Sounds like you're describing the Dodgers
rich. Yeah, I mean that would be that would be incredible. It'll
be a great reunion. You know, I obviously, uh love the city,
love wearing Dodger blue. You know, in my opinion, uh,
if not the best, one of the best places to pitch in baseball.
So that would be you know, that would be incredible. Knowing many of
the guys in the locker room and understanding that you know, that mindset and
that effort that they bring every single day is consistent upon, you know,
with everything that we were just describing. Is that that winning mentality, uh,
you know, and staying in that pitch and that swing, in that
moment and that play and understanding that whatever happened you know before that is gone
and we have to focus in on on the here and now and the task
at him, So, yeah, that would be that would be great.
You will hear our full conversation with Rich Hill next week during our Dodger Talk
All Star Break shows. He goes more into detail about his plan to return
to Major League Baseball, and you never know, maybe the Dodgers could use
some fresh arms like America's pitcher. We'll send it back to you, Tim,
and we'll see he could be a mission for somebody on their postseason roster
or looking to get to the postseason. Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by

I had a long conversation with former Dodger and America's pitcher Rich Hill, who
is tuning up for a possible return to Major League Baseball this year by design,
and we will play the full interview coming up next week during our All
Star break. But here is a portion of our conversation with the great Rich
Hill. Thanks for having me, Dave, Well, what introduction? Jeez
you well, thank you, you deserve it. I appreciate its everything going,
It's going great. I mentioned to the fans and I reminded them about
your genius plan to spend time with your family the first half of the season
and then be able to decide which team you wanted to pitch for that is
not able to land pitching at the trade deadline. Have you seen your vision
start to come to fruition. Yeah, you know, everything that I can
controls as a player and getting ready for that moment when it comes around is
certainly I've been taken care of with working out and throwing and you know,
getting after it in bullpen. So you know, the next step is really
facing some hitters here and the next actually next week, and then having that
advance into the next three weeks. So that would be really almost like the
three weeks of spring training, you know, as as probably a little bit
more expedited just facing hitters and getting ready. But everything's been, you know,
basically on track, and I've felt really good about where I'm at right
now. So you have been throwing bullpen sessions. How extensive are these bullpen
sessions? This week through a sixty five pitch bullpen. Yeah, it's been
you know, and then tomorrow another one. I'm going to go back to
back just to continue to keep building up and really some obviously fashion of what
spring training would consist of as well. But yeah, these are these are
bullpens that are you know, pretty intense, you know, full effort bullpens.
It's not uh, you know, just a white bullpen or just trying
to get my feet under me. So you know, the work that's being
done has been pretty aggressive. All right, Richie, you said you're going
to start facing hitters. Where will you go to find those hitters? Will
you go to the Cape League? Will you go to M I. T.
Havid? Where will you go to find those hitters? Well, well,
well we'll see you know next week. There's been been a couple couple
opportunities. We're you know, talking to some some some former teammates that are
actually coaching right now, a few teams here and there in the Northeast.
So uh, when that, like I said, you know, I think
it's going to be a few days beforehand when this this kind of decision is
made where I'm going to go and throw these these both ends of space hitters
or you know, live vps. I guess if you want to call it.
Now. As far as the extent of going in and pitching somewhere,
I think that the idea would probably kind of be, you know, to
get some more uh numbers and analytics and kind of break down with pitches for
teams to be able to see and you know, I guess figure out what
their what their needs are and and and if what I'm bringing to the table
is something that fits there, uh, fits their their wants as well.
Are you gonna have one of these showcase uh outings where we hear about pitchers
throwing in front of like five or six teams. Yeah, it could be
something like that. I mean also, you know it's to be it's gonna
be a good fit for uh, you know myself as well. This isn't
just you know, something that's kind of you know, whatever comes across the
desk, you know, you take it's it's really something that's gonna you know,
a team that's that's focused and concentrated and looking forward to winning a championship
and and you know, having that focus every single day when they come in
the clubhouse. Sounds like you're describing the Dodgers reach. Yeah, I mean,
that would be That would be incredible. It would be a great reunion.
You know, I obviously uh love the city, love wearing Dodger blue.
You know, in my opinion, uh, if not the best,
one of the best places to pitch in baseball. So that would be you

up to first pitch on this Saturday Dodgers and Tigers from Detroit. Up next,
we'll break down this pitchy matchup. Don't go anywhere. I'm Tim Kasis,

booth Rick Monday. Tim never guys, Tim, thank you again. We
count you down to the first pitch for this afternoon game in Detroit Morning Out
West as Justin Robleski we'll make his second major league start. He debuted against
the Brewers last week and was thought to be optioned after the game back to
Triple A. He was just up for a spot start, but with Tyler
glasnow going on the injured list, Roblusky stays in the rotation and makes his
second start this afternoon. He gave up a couple of two run home runs
in that outing in the five innings the four runs on the five hits druck
out four. But overall, I mean you start to look at the fastball
that he had anywhere from ninety five to ninety seven, the slide of the
change up. The changeup was really a very effective pitch. Earlier on.
He also had a caught stealing. So of the young man, it's going
to be fun to see him because one thing about it, he did not
appear to be scared at all. In the Mount, he challenged hitters first
pitch strikes sixteen out of twenty eighty percent in first pitch strikes for Robluski.
Hopefully he can keep that up this afternoon. Kyder Montero, the mound opponent
one in two in a four to six four era, making his fifth major
league appearance this year. As fourth start, He's up from Triple A Toledo,
Montero and Robluski. The pitching matchup as the Dodgers take on the Tigers
and interleague play. All right, thank you, guys. When the game
is over, don't forget David vast State's got you covered with all the postgame
highlights, reaction from the clubhouse, and of course Dodger talk as well.
Enjoy it. Dodgers Tigers Next. Tim Kates has been Wrongo Casino Dodgers on
