Dodgers @ Cardinals July 14, 2022: Somehow, a chance at a series win

We’re (ok, I more than anything) already on the All-Star break here at the site, so here’s your very brief game thread just as the first pitch is going to be thrown.

Sitting at 57-30, the Dodgers are on a 106-win pace with just three games left before the All-Star Break. That includes an 8.5-game lead on the Padres and a 3-game lead on the Mets for the top spot in the National League. I’d go into more detail, but then this would probably be up after the game started.

In the ever changing left field spot, Jake Lamb is in the lineup today with just about everyone else you’d expect.

And for the Cardinals:

#Dodgers Brusdar Graterol said he felt discomfort in his shoulder when he tried to do his heavy ball routine yesterday. Will get an MRI in LA tomorrow

Well, that doesn’t seem great.

#Dodgers Chris Taylor has begun some baseball activities — hitting in the cage, playing catch, per Dave Roberts. Fracture in left foot still needs time to heal

That’s at least some kind of good news?
