Yasiel Puig hit the only home run last night, but it was nice to see the Dodgers put together a nice 3-run rally in the second inning. This offense is deep and can score in multiple ways.

And they’re going to have to tonight. Chris Taylor is getting a night off, and Cody Bellinger is starting in left field tonight so Chase Utley‘s bat could be in the lineup. That’s because a certain All-Star shortstop missing from the lineup. Well…

Corey Seager had MRI, has hamstring strain, grade 1, day to day, no DL for now. #Dodgers

Last night, it was a cramp. After further review, it was “upgraded” to a strain. Corey Seager is, allegedly, available off the bench tonight, but it’d be nice if he didn’t push it. One thing’s for sure…

Kenta Maeda will start Tuesday.

Kenta Maeda only lasted one inning last night, and now we know why. With no off day until July 3, the Dodgers will try to give their starting rotation a little extra rest at times.

Rockies moved German Marquez to Monday, and will throw Tyler Anderson to the wolves in Sunday finale with Dodgers

Here’s hoping Tyler Anderson doesn’t take his sweet time getting to the mound. Lucky for him, Kershaw throws tonight and not tomorrow.

Thought this was kinda cool.
