Transcript

Dodger Talk is sponsored by La Care Health Plan, providing affordable healthcare insurance to millions of Angelinos for over twenty five years. And now your voice for Dodger Talk like that, David Vasse. We are live at Oracle Park in San Francisco. After the Dodgers score eleven runs in the top of the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight by a final score of fourteen to seven. Seven runs scored in the eleventh inning in a tied ballgame, and the Dodgers are

able to pour it on against Sean Jelly and get the win. Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone call phone number. David Vasse with you until nine to thirty here on Dodger Talk tonight, and coming up later you will hear my conversation with the one and only Fernando Vealnezuela, because thirty four years ago tonight at Dodger Stadium, Fernando Vealnezuela through his one and only career no hitter, and you'll go inside that no hitter with the one

and only thirty four. But between now and then, it's all about this exciting game tonight Here at Oracle Park Day going in tonight. Because this game was well passed the three hour mark when it ended, when the Dodgers sealed the victory fourteen to seven, it was a game that took three hours and forty five minutes. Both managers emptied their bullpen. The Dodgers used all eight of their relievers, while the Giants used seven different pitchers, including an opener

in Eric Miller, who only pitched one inning. Tyler Glassnew, who has been outstanding for the Dodgers all season long, had one of those rare off

nights. He only lasted three innings and gave up five earned runs. Now, I will say this, Tyler glass Now was not helped out by his third baseman in that third inning, Cavin Vigio, who made a physical error, and then when he had an opportunity to try to go for an inning ending double play, instead he ran to third base for the forth south there and then threw across the diamond and the throw was late, and another run had scored in what was a thirty seven pitch third inning for glass Now,

and the Giants scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning, and from that point on, the Dodgers showed their resiliency coming back and scoring for their own in the top of the fourth inning. Eight six, six, nine, eight, seven, two five seventy is the phone number. So Dave Roberts had to use all of his relievers tonight all eight were used. And what can you say about Daniel Hudson. Not ideal to allow the tying run to score, but when the runner is already in scoring position that it's

not. Just like Daniel Hudson allowed him to get to second base, he was there already. So that's the design of the rule to try to end games quickly and not to have them go three hours and forty five minutes into extra innings. But he allowed that runner to score, but did not allow the game to get away from him and the Dodgers. With one out, Dave Roberts I loved what he did. Brought in Chris Taylor for a five

man infield with one out and Patrick Bailey at the plate. Bailey struck out Daniel Hudson then got the next batter, Matt Chapman, to pop up in foul territory to Will Smith, and after Hudson struck out Bailey, Taylor went back to center field, and you know, with two outs you don't need a five man infield, but with one out, a ball to the outfield is going to score that runner at third base. So that was the reason why Dave Roberts brought in Taylor to be the fifth infielder. Will Smith,

who came into San Francisco struggling. He was just two for his last thirty four coming into last night's game. Feels like that day off on Wednesday to focus on his mechanical hitting adjustments have worked. Because he looked good last night.

He looked good in this game today. Heliotramos made a miracle catch on Will Smith earlier in this game, and in the top of the eleventh inning, after Bob Melvin decided to intentionally walk show Hey Otani to put runners at first and second with nobody out, Will Smith delivered a two run, go ahead double and Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports caught up with the Dodger catcher Will find This game was six to six after five innings. You guys scored seventh

in the eleventh minut What was it like playing in this game? Yeah? That was a fun ending steel air and throw and move forward. It's getting through I'm just gonna beats uh, you know, nine of us, I guess. So that's a good win. Coguring out to win, and you know even the series, you're back first and second, none, he got down O two. You can watch yourself process at that point. I mean, I'm just trying to get the guy over from second to third. No,

luckily the ball gotten again. But yeah, I'm just gonna get the bat in the air to center somewhere, got down for a double. We caught nine different pictures today. What impressed you most about your Bullpenn? Yeah, they were great. They were great. We used all of them, so they're all really good. They only give up one run, two runs maybe, but yeah, they've been really good lately. We've been leading on a lot, so so then to come in keep us, keep us in

it, and uh, you know it's huge. Well, thanks a lot. Congratulations. All right, there's Will Smith with Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports after the Dodgers scored seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight. Fourteen to seven, eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Also, we cannot say enough about Jason Hayward, who makes

the right baseball play. The veteran understands the situations. And with Chris Taylor pinch running for Andy Pajz as the placed runner to begin the top of the tenth inning, Jason Hayward understood, I just have to get that runner to third base. Somehow, some way, I have to pull this ball to the right side. He did his job. He grounded out to the first baseman, Lamontway Junior. Taylor was at third base, and that's where Miguel Rojas's job was made a lot easier. It just makes the bat so different

with the runner ninety feet away rather than being at second base. And Rojas had a tremendous game tonight. He was able to collect his third hit and drive in his third run at that point in time. Rojas drove in the seventh and final run of the eleventh inning with a sacrifice fly to score Jason Hayward, who tripled in a couple of runs in the top of the eleventh inning. So a tremendous game by Jason Hayward, and he cannot go unnoticed.

And he also made a great slide at home plate in the fourth inning and maybe have it might have distracted Patrick Bailey from not coming up with that ball that Luis Mattos threw on a line to him. Bailey dropped the ball, Hayward was safe, and the Dodgers were on their way to scoring four runs to tie the game in the fourth inning. Just an incredible seesaw game,

awesome game to be at. If you were a Dodger fan and you were here thirty nine thousand and six sixty three, you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. And in the eleventh inning, by the time the Dodgers scored the first three or four runs, the Giants fans were headed to the exits and the Dodger Blue was still in their seats or standing up. Eight six six, seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Giants today, fourteen to seven in eleven innings. Let's go out to the phones. James

in North Hollywood lead us off tonight on Dodger Talk. Happy to you, Dave. I can't say enough about Miguel Rojas. He is the man. He made adjustments to his swing. He's been working with the guys. He's a guy in his mid thirties towards the end of his career who has made adjustments that is giving him the best batting average that I think he's probably ever had. And he was doing all that work before Mookie went down. He was doing that work saying, I just want to be ready to be the

best player I can as a substitute. Now, that kind of attitude, when the Dodgers say that he is invaluable, I think, to me, that's what they're talking about. That says that if you want to win, that is the kind of work that you do. And I believe that he should be hitting fifth or sixth in the lineup and not seventh and eighth like he has been for the last month. And he's been hot as hell for the last two months, so I do want to know with him though recently

hitting fifth. We have seen him hit fifth recently, so Dave Roberts is putting him in those situations when it's the right matchup. I love that, Dave. I love to see when he does it, but I would like to see him do it more often. And I do want to support you, my man, and say that Dave, seeing him position the fielders tell everybody what to do. He's got guys for that. But I love how much Dave cares. He is a top step kind of manager, and he is always there. He says no, you go here, you go there,

and he's got guys that can do that. But when the game's on the line, I love how engaged he is. We all know how much he's there for his players, but to see him be there on every single play and to do it today. Anybody who says that Dave Roberts is not the right manager for the Dodgers is insane in my opinion. All right,

James, thanks a lot for the phone call. Yeah, Dave Roberts was the one waving Chris Taylor in to be the fifth infielder in the tenth inning when Daniel Hudson and the Dodgers were up against the Ropes there with one out and the runner at third base. And look, he has a great support staff, Dino Ebol, Danny Lehman, Clayton McCullough, Mark Pryor, Connor McGinnis, a great support staff for Dave Roberts, and he lets them do their job and they support him really well. And that's what makes it a

really good coaching staff. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. And look, the Dodgers did not need this game as much as the Giants. But Dave Roberts, he understands the rivalry and he wanted to win this game. And I think he showed that by the way he managed the bullpen tonight. He emptied the bullpen, he took Tyler glass Now out after the third inning. That's a big picture move right there.

But also he maneuvered the bullpen really well tonight, using all eight of them, and stuck with Daniel Hudson in that inning and maybe would have brought him back out for the eleventh if it didn't get out of hand. But I think Dave Roberts, by his actions during the game, showed us how much he wanted to win this game. Eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Giants in eleven, fourteen to seven. Let's go out to Robert who was at Oracle Park.

Robert, I'm sure it was a great three hours and forty five minutes for you. Yeah, it certainly was. I loved every minute of it. Giant fan had a deal with him. He said, hey, I owe you a Dodger game, but it's got to be at Oracle Park. And man, I'm glad I showed up from the Central Coast. Usually show up at the Ravine five or six times a year, So bug get agreed. Dave Roberts' strategy was right on point tonight. A little concern about Jackson a

bull pen, but man, pantum blue we rocked tonight. Were you part of that crew? Absolutely? Where were you sitting in the outfield or another section with them? No section, let's say one twenty seven on field level? All right, I bet it didn't matter. There was lots of blue. All right, Robert, thanks a lot for the phone call. Glad you had a great time, and glad the Dodgers delivered a thrilling fourteen to seven win in eleven innings eight six, six, nine, eight seven two

five seventy is the phone number? Can you believe? With this victory tonight, the Dodgers now have beaten the Giants fourteen of the last seventeen games played here at Oracle Park. This goes back to June of twenty twenty two, when the and swept the Dodgers in a series that summer. Since then, fourteen seems to be the number tonight because the Dodgers have won fourteen of their last seventeen games played here at Oracle Park. Eight six six nine eight seven

two five seventy is the phone number. James in North Hollywood mentioned Miguel Rojas. He had a tremendous game, his steady self at shortstop and also contributed with the bat. He is now hitting two ninety seven with an ops of almost eight hundred seven to ninety. That's Max Munsey territory right there for Miguel Rojas. And tonight he had three hits and four RBIs and he stopped by after the game. A new record started today when Miguel Rojas has three hits

and drives in four runs, the Dodgers are undefeated, right. I mean, I guess he took everything, every little bit of it today. He was a tamare for we never stole five. You know, like, uh, season's gonna go up and down, but this team is showing the I mean, regardless of what we're going through, where we're playing, the circumstances

or whatever, we're always gonna keep fighting. And I mean it's nice to see like everybody coming together in that inning after hardy escape that I mean as pure emotions, and it was pretty good, pretty good w for us today. Miguel, you said it right there. How resilient is this team. It's really good. I feel like that's that's all you can ask for. You know, every single day we come to a ball park with the expectation

to win, and we don't take it for granted. We want to win every single game and we know what we want to accomplish, which is winning in the in the in the postseason and winning awards years. This game was pretty much a postseason game, to be honest with you, here against our arrival, and it's always nice to win here. It had to be fun to play in this environment, sell out crowd and get to win seven runs in the eleventh inning. Yeah, I mean for sure. I mean,

all your friends travel really well. You see the the THEEO Blue in the left field bleachers out there. I mean, thank you for the support. He's always nice to feel like we're playing at home every single time that we're playing. But playing this weekend here in San Francisco this year is gonna meant to us. Hey, Miguel Rojas means a lot to the Dodgers and Dodger fans, Thanks a lot for stopping by and congratulations on a great win.

Thank you, Davey appreciation. There is Miguel Rojas, a tremendous member of this Dodger ball club. Where would they be without Miguel Rojas. Not many teams can lose two short stops to start the year. Remember Gavin lux the right leg would not allow him to play short stop. Two days before the Dodgers leave for Korea, Mookie Betts makes the move and then Mooki as you know, breaks his left hand on a ninety eight fastball on Father's Day and

Miguel Rojas steps in. Not many teams can say they have a player like Miguel Rojas. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers scored seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight fourteen to seven in front of a sellout crowd at Oracle Park thirty nine thousand, six hundred and sixty three. One thing that Miguel Rojas said there during

the interview was how resilient this Dodger team is. And when I was filling in on sports net LA on Wednesday in Chicago, John Hartung said, he wanted me to think of what stood out to me the most about the first eighty one games of this Dodger season. And I thought it would have more impact if I asked a player, a veteran player on the Dodgers, what

stood out to them about the first eighty one game. So I went to my baseball conscience, and that is Jason Hayward on the Dodgers, at least I have a few of them, and I would say Jason Hayward is one of them on this team, maybe the foremost voice that I go to as far as the temperature of the team, what he's seeing. And he told me it wasn't Mooki just playing shortstop or you know, you know, guys

filling in or the bullpen. He said all of those things. He said, there's a plan in place, but individually each game the plan has not gone to form. As a season, the plan has not been what they thought it would be, and the Dodger players and manager Dave Roberts have been very nimble and very resilient, whether it's a game like today, whether it's withstanding an injury like Yoshi Yamamoto going down or Joe Kelly Ryan Brasier in the

bullpen. This Dodger team, according to Jason Hayward, has been more resilient this year and battle tested this year than last year. And I tend to agree with him. I don't feel like the Dodgers' last regular season had as much adversity to overcome as they have had to overcome. And the first eighty one games of this season, and I thought, and I believe tonight in that tenth inning by Daniel Hudson, who did not give in, and that

eleventh inning by the Dodger offense just showed how resilient this team is. And that's why I go to Jason Hayward. His words mean a lot, and his play means a lot too. He made so many smart baseball plays tonight. The baseball gods, as Jose Motis said, rewarded him with that two run triple in that seven run eleventh inning for the Dodgers. Eight six, six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Hemmett. Glenn. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Oracle Park. Hi Glenn,

Hi David, nice to meet you. I saw you on GZ finally and I want to talk to you about kershaw When when do you think he might be going back and how is he doing well? Glenn, he had a little bump in the road during the last home stand after his first re start. He felt some soreness in his left shoulder and the Dodgers have shut him down from throwing. So not sure what the timeline is now. It's up to Kershawn how his shoulder has responded over the course of the last seven

to ten days. So I feel like we'll know more when we see him on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium when they come back. But Glenn's shoulders and shoulder surgeries are very dicey and we just have to wait and see on how all of this goes about. But uh, maybe late August at this point. Okay, thank you all right, Glenn, Thanks for the phone call. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're

gonna take a time out here live from Oracle Park when we return. More of your phone calls at eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. Also we will hear from number thirty four. El Todd himself on the thirty fourth anniversary of his one only career no hitter. It was against the Saint Louis Cardinals at Dodgers Stadium on this night, nineteen ninety. So you'll go inside the no hitter with the man himself, Fernando Valezuela. Don't go anywhere.

There's more Dodger Talk live from Oracle Park after the Dodgers beat the Giants fourteen to seven in eleven innings on a five to seventy LA Sports on air at AM five seventy, online at AM five seventy LA sports dot com, and available by podcast on the iHeartRadio app. This is Dodger Talk with David Bassen. Jason Hayward First and second, still no out. First pits swinging credit football down the right phild line. Heyl score great life for fifteen.

As the ball gets all the way to the corner, Hayward heads up there, Hey, two run triptball. Jason Hayward was fired up too, standing at third base staring into that Dodger dugout. Everybody was fired up in that Dodger dugout in the eleventh inning, as the Dodgers scored seven runs to beat the Giants, coming from behind fourteen to seven. And looking for winning the series and winning this road trip by going five to one the Dodgers fourteen to

seven victors tonight in eleven innings at Oracle Park. This is Dodger Talk with you until nine to thirty tonight here on a five to seventy LA Sports we want to remind you that Daniels Jewelers is the official sponsor of the trip around the Diamond. Stop by any Daniel's location in say home run for your free team bracelet and fifty dollars gift card toward any purchase of ninety nine dollars or

more. Daniel's Jewelers owned the dream. And look, I don't want to keep going on and on about Jason Hayward, but if you look at this game, there's about four or five guys that really stand out for me in a game like tonight. Number one Daniel Hudson not going in in the tenth inning to find a way to get the final two outs. Number two Miguel Rojas a tremendous game, three hits, four RBIs and playing tremendous shortstop.

Number three it's Jason Hayward. Jason Hayward did so many of the little things and big things to keep the Dodgers in this game and eventually give them the opportunity to score seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat the Giants tonight fourteen to seven in eleven. And of course Will Smith, who had a two run, go ahead double to start that's seven run eleventh inning for the Dodgers.

And look, how about the Dodger bullpen as well. Once again, whether it's a bullpen game or an impromptu starter getting hurt or being ineffective like Tyler Glass now was today, the Dodgers used all eight of their relievers and you have to give credit to this Dodger bullpen. They have been tremendous, even without some of the household names at times, like Evan Phillips who missed a month. The Dodgers still have not got back Joe Kelly or Ryan Brazier.

Kelly may return on the upcoming homestand but the Dodgers have picked up two guys off waiver wires that have been tremendous Johann Ramirez and Anthony Banda, I mean, Connor McGinnis and Mark Pryor have done something special with those guys as well. To go along with the veterans Blake Trinan and Daniel Hudson. You can't say enough about them either, coming off basically two years of not pitching because of knee surgeries or knee injuries for Daniel Hudson and shoulder surgery for Blake

Trinan. You can't say. You can't say an about those guys. Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Giants fourteen to seven in eleven innings. We gotta take our friend Isabelle and Anaheim. Hi, Isabelle, you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing? Is he? I'm being good. I am so happy that when last night I was so bubbed. You don't know how bum my way And I let you know this. I hate the Giant at my I hate the man,

I hate the Yankee, so they pay that way. So but okay, yeah, I think we all agree with that. Yeah. I have to get I get this off my chest sopen. But give me the last week. I just I just I'm moving about row Heart. He's playing well, no Dad, but I'm just willy. I'm just willy that he may get injuryself. So do you think Mookie should play shortstop when he comes back. I you know, yeah, I guess. I. Well, did you guys do something? I would like to have him back. I think you

had done a pretty good job. I would like to have him back in right field. But yeah, I get you know, if they have they have to do it. Yeah, but there's no way, and I think we would. He need to be you need to be back in the line of hitting face. Oh and there's something else that bugging me the last five years that I need to get this at me. Five years, five years it's been on your chest. Wow, this is this is gonna be big. Hold on, hold on? Do we have a dramatic pause as a

bell? You're saying for five years you have had something bothering you, lingering over you when it comes to the Dodgers. All right, let's hear it. Yeah, well really it's been four years. But who's plating in? I agree it's something I something I got to agree with you. I hate this say I hate the extra inning is second base? Yeah you don't like that, ghost runner, I hate it. I hate it. So next year, if you have to all going in your pretty old b manpreak,

come California. They give me a call, I'll go to Dodgers a within and I'm going on my cad to give me the Dodgers ay and but that show no, but I swear, okay, we'll make it happen for you, and uh we'll talk about the runner at second base. All right, Thanks, Isabelle, appreciate the phone call. And I'm glad you finally got that off your chest. Isabelle and Anaheim, see I put her on the show. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.

Dodgers beat the Giants tonight fourteen to seven in eleven innings. And look, I felt going on this road trip, the Dodgers should come home with a five and one record. They took care of business in Chicago, sweeping the lowly white Sox, who are on pace right now to tie the sixty two Mets for the worst record or the most losses in Major League Baseball history with

one hundred and twenty. So they took care of business there, and I felt like there was two wins for the Dodgers to take here in San Francisco. You've seen the first two games, even throw out the records as they say, this is a tough ballpark to beat the Giants, and the Dodgers have done it fourteen of the last seventeen times, which is really hard to wrap your head around. Considering how good the Giants are in this ballpark.

They are much different on the road, no matter what the construction of their roster is. They are a much different, more human team on the road than they are here at Oracle Park. So the Dodgers certainly accomplished something, winning fourteen of the last seventeen. We're gonna hear from Fernando Vealezuela on the thirty fourth anniversary of his no hitter, But first let's take one more phone call Mike and riverside. You're on Dodger Talk. You know what you were

referring to earlier. It's kind of hard to leave Miguel Rojas out of the lineup. So obviously I think Max months he's coming back after the All Star break. But I think when Mooki is ready to come back, you may be platoon Mooki at second, Miguel at short against cleftenders. And I don't I don't know what the solution is. Do you leave do you leave Gavin luck Well here's the solution, Mike. The trade deadline's coming up here soon.

Uh, there's no secret about it. If the Dodgers make an impact trade, there's a good chance Gavin Lux or Miguel Vargas is going to be part of that trade. Maybe one, maybe both. But sorry. If Miguel Rojas is playing like this and the Dodgers feel like they can keep him healthy for the playoffs, Mookie Betts is going back to second base and Miguel Rojas is staying at shortstop. And if Gavin Lux is on this roster,

he's a bench player. Agreed. Definitely agreed. I mean, like Miguel Vargas told me before today's game, he wants to be in the lineup. He believes he deserves to be in the lineup, but he's putting his feelings in his locker and that's where he's leaving it and putting on the Dodger jersey and playing for the name on the front, not on the name on the back. That's what Miguel Vargas told me today, Mike. That's the attitude everybody should have the rest of the year. Definitely, completely agree. So

thank you so much for taking my call. David, my pleasure, Mike, thanks for the phone call. I wanted to share with you on this special anniversary because Fernando valen Zuela means so much to all of us. We have to celebrate the thirty fourth anniversary of number thirty four's one and only career no hitter, and I was lucky enough that Fernando agreed to doing it in an interview with me a couple of years ago on the anniversary of this no

hitter. In fact, we did this back in twenty eighteen, June twenty ninth, twenty eighteen, and he took us inside of the no hitter of what he remembered. And Fernando is super humble and doesn't want it to be about himself, but he agreed to help me out and share with you and me what took place June twenty ninth, nineteen ninety How you doing, David, Thanks for these chance opportunities to say hi to Oh you listens. Yeah, So that's that's great. You know twenty eight years ago. Well,

that's the great moment for me and my career. So that's that's good. Great, that's good. Is it true before the game that you told your teammates. You saw one no hitter with Dave Stewart, You're about to see another one? Or is that legend? No, no, that's a little comment, but that one. But it happens, Yeah, it happens. But yeah, I remember we were watching the the Sers game and I say something like that. You know, I say, well, you guys watching

one on TV. Now it's gonna be one alive. So that's that's happened. But you know that's like I say, it's it's it's you know, for the pitchers, I think it's another another I don't know, like maybe one shut up now for me and no hit? That was that was one of the best moment and and that's happened. But I think for to have no hitter, I think you need a good, good defense offense. And I think the team they did it. They put so good good defense and

and let's go run. So that's that's make the pictures strong. The more comfortable. Could you feel in the bullpen? Your screwball was better than normal? Or what what was so special? David? Years ago? I don't know, you don't remember that. I don't remember, but you know, in my case, when I don't have a good control, I think it's going to have a trouble. And for me, that's that's that's when when I have a good control, and I think that's when I'm gonna have good

games, you know. But that's not my my my best, you know, so I have to mix it up in the corners and and tried to cook my arm on top for the school ball. But if I have a good control, I'm guingantee, I'm going to have a good game. And uh, and that's happened that your less better that you face was your old teammate Pedro Guerrero. And when you're facing him with one out in the ninth inning, you don't seem like a guy that would get nervous. So do

you remember what you may have been feeling at that moment? You know, just I go everybody, I go and try to do my best. And when when when that's happened? When I think it was was one out man the first when Pedro coming up, and uh, I know he liked to pull everything and uh, but in that situation, I can't see it when

he tried to get it hit, he tried to get a hit. He don't tried to hit it homer, he tried to get a hit, and I say, that's when, uh, when I tried to keep the ball in the hands, what my cutter and keep it keeping a Ryan hands. And then that's when he had that ground bow back to the middle and and uh once some more was Ryan the back and turned for a double play. But I was curious when you were pitching, how big were you on scouting

reports, scouting hitters. Did you know other hitters weaknesses? No, I watching the games in those days, Uh, the day before going to face one one team, we like to watch the game, the hitters and what's the guess they'd like to go the other way or when they go for the to pull the ball. And I think that's that's the report we used to have and in the old days, and it works, you know, because everybody is different. Someone's thrown ninety five, ninety four miles an hour,

someone's eighty eight, you know. But so that's that's when really every pitcher's going whatever for whatever they have in that moment, you know, in that game and that and that night. And so that's that's the only thing I remember, you know, when Pedro hit it back to the medal, is it. I know he's going to try to get it, go back to the medal or to go the other way. Fernando, thanks a lot for

the time. Always great to share a great memory. And I know you don't like talking about yourself, but today was a pretty big day in your career. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you to remind me.

I forget that one too, but thanks to you and all the all the Dia fans there he is the great Fernando of Allen's Way, thirty four years ago, throwing his one and only career no hitter with Mike Soosha behind the plate, Pedro Guerrero, his former teammate, ending the game with a double play, and you can throw your sombrero to the sky thirty four years ago.

And hope you enjoyed that conversation I had with Fernando a few years back about his no hitter, because I've never heard those stories before, so I hope you enjoyed it. That'll do it for us. On Dodger Talk tomorrow, the Dodgers will have James Paxton on the mound. He's seven and one with an ERA of three point thirty nine. Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck begins

at noon with first pitch at one oh five. The Dodgers are looking for a five to one road trip after a sweep in Chicago and splitting the first two games here at Oracle Park. What a game today as the Dodgers score seven runs in the eleventh inning to beat San Francisco. Thanks to dwayn McDonald out here at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Thanks to Colin Yee back at our Burbank studios, and thanks to you for listening. In case you missed any of the show, you can find it on the iHeartRadio app. Once
