win last night. Dodgers now forty six and twenty nine on this season, first place atop the NL West. They start the night with a nine game lead in the division, and last night they took game two of this four game set against the Colorado Rockies in dramatic fashion with a big ninth inning to come back and beat the Rockies. Tonight they look to make it three straight in the Mile High City. Bobby Miller, fresh off the injured list,

Over the next hour here on Moroco Casino Dodgers on Deck, you will hear from the manager, Dave Roberts will dive deeper into this pitching match. David Vasso goes one on one with Max Mounsey. Shortly we'll check in with Kirsten Watson. We'll get you an injury updated is

Walker Bueher is headed back to the IL in just a few minutes. We'll check in well, Rick Monday and Tim Neverett out the Galpin Motors broadcast booth. Well, speaking of Walker Buehler, last night's it couldn't have gone worse for the young right hander. Coming back from Tommy John surgery has not been easy for Bueller last night. He gave up runs early and often. In the bottom of the first, he gave up four. In the bottom of

the second, he gave up two more. Walker Buehler would go four innings, give up seven earned runs, all of which were earned, struck out two a couple of home runs. He gets pulled after four innings with the Dodgers down seven to two. The Dodgers continued to trail most of the game. They went into the sixth inning with Shoey O'tani hitting a home run deep to center field four hundred and seventy six feet, but that just made an

eight seven to three Rockies great lead. They're up eight to three after six. Miguel Vargas doubled to left that scored Keiky Hernandez in the seventh, as the Dodgers got to with eight to four, but the Rockies would answer back in the bottom of the seventh to make an eight nine to four lead, and that's what it remained going to the ninth inning last night, when everything changed for the Dodgers. Andy pat has a lead off walk, Miguel Rojas

singled to write. Two batters later, Miguel Vargas loaded the bases for Jason Hayward on the right handers two two, Offer to your Jason Hayward swing out in hamberd the right field. This bone is back, this bone is done off the foul pole. A grand slam for Jay Hey, the fourth career grand slamper Hayward, and the Dodgers are within a run. It's nine to eight. Oh can you believe it? Jason Hayward with the ninth penning grand slam and the Dodgers just one run behind and Otani coming up. Dodgers down

nine to eight. After the grand slam by Jason Hayward, still only one out Showy O'tani. The next batter single to the left. Will Smith struck out looking so two down. Runner on Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked. So now two on two out for they Oscar ball game in the balance right here two two swung on hitting the air right center field and Date this ball heading back. This ball's gone, it's gone, It's gone. A three run home run ty Oscar hood on us and the Dodgers have come all the way

back to take the lead. Oh my goodness, absolutely incredible. It's eleven to nine as the Dodgers down to their last strike, strike big time as tay Oskar hits his eighteenth home run of the year. What a comeback seven runs at the top of the ninth, Jason Hayward of the Grand Slam tae Oscar Hernandez the two out, three run home run. Alex Vessi would pitch the bottom of the ninth. Dodgers come all the way back and beat the

Colorado Rockies last night by a final of eleven to nine. Michael Peterson gets his first win in the big leagues after getting called up yesterday. Alex Vesia gets this hold. Evan Phillips will get the final out to get the save as eleventh as the Dodgers have now won two straight in Denver, three straight overall. The Dodgers now forty six and twenty nine on this season, and

tonight they look to keep the magic going. With Bobby Miller on the mound, first pitch at five forty with more, let's head out to the Galpa Motors broadcast booth as we welcome in Rick Monday and Tim Nefverritt. Guys, thanks very much. Tim's going to be a very pleasant evening here in the lower downtown section of Denver, Colorado. Of course, field the Dodgers and

the Rockies. Game three of this four game series. The Dodgers forty six and twenty nine and with the Giants and Diamondbacks losing today the Padres winning. The Dodgers start this game nine and a half up on both San Diego and Arizona, ten up on the Giants. Meantime, the Rockies twenty five and forty eight. They are twenty games off the pace in the National League Western Division. Bobby Miller comes off the injured list. Walker Bueller goes on the

injured list, so that is the roster move today. But Bobby Miller will pitch the right hander one and one. He'll make his fourth start of the season. Ryan Feltner will go for the Rockies. He's one in six with an ERA of nearly six. Lost both his starts of the Dodgers last year.

But where do we begin today? MO? Last night the big comeback win a game in which you know, the Dodgers probably eight times nine times out of ten, are not going to win a game where you're down five in the ninth but they somehow, some found a way to scratch it out and pound it out with a grand Slam and three run home run on the same inning. I don't know how you're going to top that one that we saw last night. How many times did I say during the broadcast? What

is the safe lead? In his ballpark? By the way, that's not the first time that those questions have ever been presented. That's kind of the theme song here in this ballpark. But Elias Sports came out and said, the last time the Dodgers overcame a deficit of five or more runs in the ninth inning or later, you have to go back to July eighteenth, nineteen

fifty seven against Saint Louis. So what we saw last night was really kind of overwhelming, including the Dodgers the first team in Major League Baseball history they hit both a grand Slam and a three run home run in the ninth inning in the game that they were trailing in that ninth inning never happened in the

Los Angeles era of the Dodger organization. Yeah, well, here we go with eras and every time you come to the ballpark, you expect to maybe to see something you had never seen before, and what the Rockies will like

to see that they haven't seen too much of recently. In the history of them against the Dodgers is a win because you go back to twenty eighteen, the Dodgers are now seventy three and thirty two against the Rockies when they had tangled the Dodgers again facing Feldner to start, but they would love more than

anything to get back into that Rockies bullpen. As of today, the Rockies bullpen collectively have an ERA of eight seventy five, that's fifty nine earned runs over sixty and two thirds innings pitched, and opponents in the month of June hitting three thirty two against them. Yeah, last night a difference in interpretation. Was it a check swing strike on Tiascar Hernandez or was it not a check swing and strike? Well, it was. The very next pitch is

a three run home run. And I thought that Tiascar Hernanas after the ballgame kind of summed up the fact that Dodgers had turned things. You know, from May tenth to the June fifth, they weren't playing particularly good baseball. They were at five hundred. Since that time, they played much better baseball

and scored more runs per game. And hernet Is last night after the game, it says, look, we have really understood that we can and here's the quote, don't give away at bats, and that's exactly what they were able to do last night. In the ninth then he with all the chips on the table, Well, Tani and Freeman going to hit back to back

with the show Hey leading off. He's five for ten as the leadoff hitter for the Dodgers the last two games, and the Austin Barnes getting the start behind the plate Dodgers forty six and twenty nine, the Rockies twenty five and forty eight. Bobby Miller comes off the il to make a start tonight here in Colorado opposite Ryan Feltner of the Rockies. First pitch, not too far away, Tim, all right, as we count you down to first pitch,

This is Kirston's corner with Kirston Watson Hey Kirson now joins US live from coors Field in Denver. Last night, want a comeback win for the Dodgers, Karson, and it kind of erased what was a well subpar outing from Walker Bueller, and

today Walker Bueller goes on the il. Yeah. And you know, even with talking to Walker last night after the game, he even said that, you know, that's the thing about games like yesterday, he kind of felt like he wasn't even the storyline anymore. It was more about Michael Peterson who got his first career win and things like that, and just the comeback the Grand slagh on Tioscar's home run. So you're right, it did definitely take

a turn. But you know, one of the key storylines of yesterday was Walker Bueller and how he has been in a situation where he's experienced a lot of frustration because he's been trying to be that guy he's used to being, but some of the pitches just haven't been necessarily they're not striking like they I don't know if I should use words striking because obviously strikes, but like they're

not playing how he wants them to. And so he had told us after the game that there has been some conversation that at some point he was going to have a stopdown. Well, yesterday in the outing he got hit by a comebacker and his hip and they went to check on him. He was fine, and I don't know if you remember, but if you go now two starts ago, Dave Roberts and the training staff had gone to check on

him on the mound. He kind of was like, I'm fine, and you can see a little bit of frustration with him, but he was kind of shaking out his leg and his hip area. So this is not the

first time his hip has been bothering him this year. And so Dave was saying after being hit yesterday, with just looking at some of the pitching results, it just made sense that right now for him to go on the IL, this will give him time to heal his hip to get that in a really good spot, and then it will give him time to also work through a few things mechanically in regard to his pitching. So there's no timeline as to what this ale stick is going to look like. It really just depends

on what Walker needs well. As I mentioned, to heal the hip to make sure that's in a good spot. So that he's fully strong and one hundred percent health wise, and then for him to work through the mechanical things he needs to in regard to pitching so that he can be that competitive pitcher that a set he wants to be to get back into a good spot, because most importantly, he wants to be ready to come October because he wants to be one of the guys to help this team win. So in order

for him to do that, he's got to get back on track. And so that's what this time is going to be for for him real quick. Tonight, Bobby Miller on the mound makes his return off the injured list. I know you talked to him yesterday on the pregame on Sports and at LA. What do we expect? Yeah, so you know, there's not necessarily a specific pitch count for him. He is built up, so obviously depending on the stress of the innings that Dave will be very mindful of that.

But he told me yesterday that he feels one hundred percent the shoulder, so soreness he believes something in the past, so he's he's in a really good spot. Obviously, with rehab assignments, sometimes the results you're not gonna necessarily see them. It's just the miners is a different game. So for him to be back at the big league level, Dave expects some really good stuff. Bobby expects some good stuff. So hopefully, yes, he's got to

battle the elements. But hey, he's like, check my stats. I played well last year here, So we'll see what he can do today. Let's get a good start out at him, no doubt. Kirsten appreciate it.

on Deck, we'll dive deep into this pitching matchup. David Vets goes one on one with Max Munty. But up next an injury report and we'll get the pregame thoughts of the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Rockies from Denver. First pitch at five forty. I'm Tim Kates's Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. This is Morongo Casino Dodgers Hunting on your home for LA Dodgers

Baseball, Wrongo Casino, Dodgers on deck. He continues on this Wednesday, Morongo Casino Resort and Spa, a Grand Slam for good times, Dodgers Rockies first pitch coming up at five forty.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the iel at the strain rotator cruff as Walker Bueler goes back on the il with a sore hip.

Also more coming up from Max Munsey himself will joined David Vesse coming up in about twenty minutes. All right, let's check you out the Dodger skipper, anything else? The questions for Dave Dave? Can you just describe Dave? Can you talk about the pressure in the dugouts with Dave Roberts? All right, Dave, Bobby Miller, I know we talked about him a little bit yesterday just regards to kind of stress of the innings. But what are

you hoping to see from him? And just with this return coming off with I L and making sure just he's in a good spot to kind of continue out the rest of this season. You know, I think it's just go out there and attack these guys. The stuff is good, the health is good. You know, on rehab or he's been on rehab, so it's hard to really compare rehab assignments to when you get in a big league game.

You know, these guys are going to be ready to come out swinging, and so for me, it's just attack the strike zone and put that ball in play. And I was talking to him. He was saying, how with that shoulder sword and he started feeling after South Korea, But there wasn't anything in specific. It necessarily led to it, is that something that

you guys are going to have to be mindful of? Just as he continues, you know, I think it's I don't think it'll be front of mine, but certainly given that that's the reason he went on the IL, it'll be kind of a thought, but that should be behind us. And that's why I think we've done a good job of taking it slow and being really methodical in getting them back here. All right, there's Dave Roberts talking about Bobby Miller and getting the start tonight, coming off the injured list, Walker

Bueler goes back on the injured list. Brought to you by Service Titan. Dave Roberts, he's tightened his own right. He's got to plant it before his team. It's the field.

Care Health Plan serving all Angelinos Lacare dot org. Joining Tim Kates on Dodgers on Deck. I accept everybody for who they are. This is Dodger insider David Basse. All right, DV. Last night, what a game. Rick and Tim kept talking about it, even as the Rockies were extending their league. It's games, not all or it's Corsefield. You've been there first, had many of the times you've seen this happen. The Dodgers have come back and won a baseball game. But last night, what a game.

Yeah, it really was. And I mentioned this earlier today Tim. It reminded me of the Andrew Toles game back in twenty sixteen, when the Dodgers were down six runs going into the eighth inning. They scored three in the eighth and Tolls hit a grand slam to put the Dodgers ahead, and they went on to make a big comeback that night. But certainly we hadn't seen anything like last night since nineteen fifty seven. That's the last time the Dodgers

came back being down five runs or more in the ninth inning. And Jason Hayward was a huge part of it. A pinchick grand slam, the first time in his career he has done that, and he spoke to sports net LA after the game last night. Yeah, I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure if that was going to start fair or not. It's so maybe that helped him straighten out a little bit. But giving that it was a slider as well and the location it was, it was definitely a tough pitch to

keep fair. Obviously it hit off the pole, but I thought it stayed fair long enough. I was like, come on, squeak nd squeakend and then it hit out the poles. All right, we're good. Yeah, the Dodgers were good. And can you believe the last time the Dodgers had a Pinchhick Grand Slam? It was all the way back not too far. June twenty third, twenty eighteen, Matt Kemp hit a Pinchick Grand Slam in

his second tenure with the team. David is driven by the Ford F Series, America's best selling truck for forty seven years and counting for it gives you freedom of choice, gas, hybrid, electric. Head to your Southern California Ford dealers and find yours Ford F Series built Tough Walker Bueler is a tough guy DV, but he's been through a lot the last couple of years, missed two seasons after his second Tommy John surgery. He's worked his way back,

he's made some starts. Last night didn't go his way, and now he's back on the injured list with a hit problem. Yeah, I guess it's a little bit of a bruise there, and really, tim, it's not as much about the hip as it is a great opportunity for Walker Buehler to reset. I'm not saying that he's not heard hurt or feeling soreness back

there. But it also gives the Dodgers a chance to be cautious with Bueller, to put him on the IL and for him to regroup because he has been searching and each one of these eight starts and it feels like he has to recalibrate who he is right now and more importantly, stop searching by believing in himself. There's not a lot of conviction behind his pitches, so hopefully

this time off can help him reset and be better down the stretch. You know, at some point there's you know, we've thought about kind of taking a blow, taking a month off, taking a week out, whatever, trying to figure out how to kind of get me reset and you know, maybe that's coming, maybe not. I don't know. Uh, you know,

we'll see. You know, it sucks to feel kind of invaluable or like you're hampering your team, and you know, at the end of the day, we really like our team and want to be ready for the end of the year, and I'm gonna kind of do whatever I need to do to feel like I can help our team in, you know, at the end of the year and do everything in my power to be valuable enough to be on those rosters. All right, Yeah, so you heard it from

Walker Bueller. Doesn't sound like a guy that's hurt that badly. It's more about regrouping. Well, hopefully he can regroup and come back better than never. DV. We appreciate you'll be back better than ever. With Max Munsey coming up in less than fifteen minutes, Dodger fans, don't go anywhere you go.

Classes can fill up quickly, so enrolled today and I can go to college dot com and now joined by David Basse, here's La Dodgers broadcaster and World Series champion Dodger Rick Monday, Well, Rick Monday has seen a lot of Dodger and baseball history last night just add another one to the list.

David David, David, you never know what you're going to see when you come to the ballpark, or listen to a game from a ballpark, or watch a game from the ballpark. Because Elias Sports comes out with this one last night after the Dodgers. They say it was a thrilling comfort behind victory as an understatement, coming up with seven runs in the ninth inning to

win at eleven to nine. But according to Elias, the last time the Dodgers overcame a deficit of five or more runs in the ninth inning or later with July eighteenth, nineteen fifty seven against Saint Louis. So we saw history repeated in last night's ballgame. And the other part too, is the Dodgers the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit a grand Slam and a three run home run in the ninth inning while trailing in the ballgame. I

believe that, and the fans enjoyed Tim Neverritt's calls. Both home runs, the Grand Slam and the go ahead home run. Were you concerned about Tim's help when he was making those calls? Hey, let me just say this. If the fans were really enjoying the call of Tim Neverett, let me tell you something, there's nobody that enjoyed it more than Tim Neverett, because

I just told Jack Corgan it was the broadcaster for the Rockies Radio. At the end of the little conversation we had, I said one thing that we understand coming into Coupis Field, Dodgers in the Rockies, even doing a broadcast, you might want to go ahead and buckle up a seat belt. And never could have used the seat belt last night. And he's to my right

as we were talking right now and just kind of nodding. It was a magical moment for a broadcaster to be able to call that, because, Hey, the Dodgers took the ninth inning trailing big time and they wind up with just an incredible and incredible ninth inning to overtake the Rockies. I guess they did what we've been talking about, Rick passing the baton to set up both

Hayward and Hernandez to hit those home runs. You know, I'm glad you brought that up because Taskar Hernandez after the ballgame in the locker room was asked about, what is it that this club has now turned things around and starting to play much better, and he goes, look, the overall description of the attitude that they talk about is it don't throw away at bats. In other words, don't take them for granted. Don't just go up there and say, okay, fine, I get three strikes, boom, go sit

down. Do not roll away at bats. They did not do it last night with the game on the line. Two nights ago, rick I felt like Will Smith embodied what you just said, Taoscar reflected because the game was a blowout ninth inning and Will Smith is battling for a twelve pitch at bat. Yeah, absolutely, and battling and battling and battling. It does a couple of things. Hey, he kept getting closer and closer to really making good contact. The other part two is it puts extra strain on the pitcher

at that particular moment. It also gives the rest of your teammates opportunities to size up what this guy is doing, including if it's just the velocity or if it's the pitch sequencing. Is he getting the curve bowl over? Is he not getting the curve bowl over? Is he doubling up with the curve bow when he has a strength? Just little things, little nuances that you try and pick up as the game is progressing. So you know, it

was a nice victory for the Dodgers. Did Tiascar Hernanez actually check his swing

in time not to be called strike three? Or I looked at the replay, couldn't really tell live looking at it on the replay, I think to askar her name has got the benefit of the doubt and the Dodgers over the years, you start to think back, they've had a history against the San Francisco Giants in recent memory in postseason in the games, a game that was won because of a check swing and a game that was lost because interpretation of a check swing. Hey, the Dodgers will take it all around tonight,

though, Bobby Miller making his first start since April tenth. I know he's been telling me how anxious he has been to get back, even if it is at course field. Yeah, and if Bobby Miller goes three innings or four innings, I think that will suffice the question is how he comes back. I don't know of a bigger question for Bobby Miller than what the question

now remains with Walker Buehller. After Bueller last night wound up going four innings, seven runs on seven hits, two home runs in his eighth start. Was not really or ninth start is not really a glowing start itself. Luckily the Dodgers picked him up so he can find a way to regroup, that's for sure. Rick, We're not searching here. We're very focused and we have a goal. Thanks a lot. Rick, Hey, David, take care. We'll talk to you. Talk to you tomorrow in the pregame.

All right, sounds good early wake up call for the Dodgers at Coors Field. We'll check in with Rick Monday and Tim Neverett if he's had CPR since last night. All right, Thank you guys.

Find the right Dodger at CHLA dot org. And now what will likely be vasse fielding insults from a Dodger player. It's an

engagement of endearment. This is high end tight well. The Dodgers certainly missed their third baseman, Max Muncie. You don't know what you have until it's gone. And we're joined right now by Max Munsey, who has a lot of time on his hands. So that's the reason why I've been able to track him down. He can't run away these days. Thanks a lot for the time. Don't let David Foy. He bribed me to be here, no doubt, and that'll come at the end. But I know you're really

frustrated with the way things have gone with this oblique injury. How have you tried to keep yourself saying? You just try to stay as locked in with the team as you can. You know, you try to be as as involved as you're allowed to be. And you know, for me, that's just you know, you're you're in the group chat when the Hitters meetings are going on, you're listening to the Hitters meetings, You're listening to the approach, and you know you have history of some of these guys, and so

it's you know, try to offer up anything you've got. And you know, for for someone like Show who's spending the American League for all these years, it's always good for him to hear, you know, stuff on you

know, National League guys and maybe he's never faced before. So I just I try to help out any way I can, and I don't really feel like I'm actually doing anything, but that's just the best way I can stay as involved as I can be. Right, I've heard players say this when they're on the iel, they don't feel as a big a part of the because the disappointment of being hurt. But this seems to be a way where you can still stay plugged in and like you said, help in any way

you can. Yeah, you know, Unfortunately our schedule wasn't the most ideal for me. You know, it's obviously in every ideal getting hurt, but this is where our schedule was. We've been on the road the majority of the time that I've been hurt, and you know, when when you're rehabbing, you don't you don't get the travel with the team. So that's been a frustrating one for me. It's been nice having time at home with family, but you know, for me, like I want to be out there

in the field. I want to be playing, I want to be at the boys, and it's just a I'm very thankful for my time with my family, but at the same time, I want to be back out there playing, no doubt, that's what dad does, plays baseball and plays it at a high level. Where are we in this process to maybe ce Max month Seed back, not entirely sure, you know, things just aren't rebounding

as well as we've been wanting them to. And you know, we're trying to slow play it and you know, just make sure that we're we're good to go one hundred percent. That way, we don't have any setbacks, we won't have any you know, lingering effects. And it's just, you know, it's taking longer than any of us expected, especially considering it was something that at the beginning we thought might not even have to go on the IL for. And it's just, you know, it hasn't gone away,

and it's it's been extremely frustrating for me and everyone involved. We've been trying to do everything that we can, and uh, you know, for me, that could be something along the lines of I've been trying to do too much, you know, you know me, I fight through a lot of stuff and I've been trying as hard as I can to get back, and that could be something that's not allowing me to bounce back as fresh as that I'm maybe doing too much. But it's you know, we're doing what we

can. We don't know what the timetable is yet, but we're hoping we'll be out there at some point. Max Muncie is our guest. Max. I've said this a few times on the post game show. You don't know what you have until it's gone, and you don't realize the value of players, especially a guy like yourself, and how you're not just an individual, but you're part of an extended lineup, a group of nine. Do you

you see that? Do you feel like people realize that now? Well, I've always felt for me, you know, I know my numbers are whatever they are, but for the bats that I have, I've always felt like that's something that helps a team out tremendously. Yeah. You know, you have certain guys that want to go out there and swing early in the account and that's who they are, that's what makes them successful. And then you have certain guys that work balncy of certain guys that just put together at bats.

And you know, for me, when you have me in that lineup, it allows everyone else to be themselves instead of everyone else trying to make up for that. Yeah, you know, I don't know what my exact number is, but I know it's something that I see close to five six. I average five six pitches in the bat. Yeah, and that's quite a lot of pitches when you when you're talking about the course of a game, and that allows other guys to just be themselves and not have to worry

about should I be taking a pitch he? Or should I be swinging? Should I should I be taking a strike? And you know, that's something that I've always taken pride in is that, uh, you know, if someone's in front of me, and you know when when whenever you're leading off an inning, you always you always go to the guy that's that's on deck and you say, hey, I'm gonna be aggressive he or be ready,

or hey, I'm probably gonna see one. You're always talking to the guy, and you know when you when you have me in there, it's like that always allows people to just kind of be themselves and say, hey, I want to be aggressive height here, and I'm always like, yeah, go for it. I don't mind taking a strike, I don't mind taking

two strikes. That doesn't really bother me. I know my numbers don't always look the best, but I just feel like being being able to put together those at bats it allows other people to be themselves and that makes a huge difference in a lineup. Thanks a lot for the time. Great to see you, and I know this is tough, This whole thing is tough, but like I said, I think Dodger fans appreciate you even more now. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. And yeah, don't worry, I'm

gonna collect on that bribe that you had to get me out here. There. He is tam Max Munsey and it's brought to us by our friends at Travis S. Matthew. With a focus on versatility, Travis S.

All right, before first pitch, we head back out to the booth Rick Monday tip Never guys, Tim, thanks again, counting you down to the first pitch. Dodgers and Rockies Bobby Miller one on one in a five to four zero era. Right shoulder inflammation put him on the

shelf for two months. He has had four rehab starts in the minor leagues, two with Rancho Cucamonga and two with TRIPAA Oklahoma City. The numbers, according to Dave Roberts and according to your own eyes when you look at him, they were not very good. In the minor leagues. There are mitigating factors sometimes as to what the numbers can be and why they are the way they are. But the Dodgers are ready to have Miller start this one tonight.

Command to the strike zone one of the things to be looking at. You know, those six starts in the rehab were not really overwhelming, so for Miller trying to get back on track for the twenty five year old six foot five right hander, and the Dodgers also have to figure out about Ryan Feldner in his career against the Dodgers three starts plus one relief he's one and two. But for Felter, one of the things that he does well, he has that good fastball. If he goes to the changeup, that's going

to be interesting. The reason is, looking at some numbers, his change up that he throws almost fifteen percent of the time, is given up a three point eighty one batting average against. The question is why does he continue to throw it? Good question we'll find out as we go on tonight. Ryan Feldner Bobby Miller. The pitching matchup Clayton Kershaw pitching for the Dodgers in Rancho Ku Kamanga tonight, and we'll keep you up to date on what he
