Two of the names of players who have been dissed coming into this series were LHRP Tanner Scott and LF Michael Conforto. Coming into the series, Scott had blown 3 save opportunities in his last six games, and that continued into Game 1 of the series when he suffered the loss after giving up 2 runs in the 10th. But something clicked in Game 2 and he got the win.
The Dodgers came all the way back to take the lead in the 8th and Doc summoned Scott to get his first save since May 21. He struck out the first two batters he faced, and had Francisco Alvarez 1-2 before Alvarez hit a hard ground ball single on a slider at the bottom of the zone. He got Luisangel Acuña to hit a routine fly ball to CF on a 3-5 4-seamer at the top of the zone to get that save.
The Dodgers found themselves down 5-3 in the 8th, thanks largely due to Landon Knack’s lack of command. He allowed 4 runs on 4 hits and 5 BB, including three solo HRs. After the game he said that he pulled the 4-seamer to Pete Alonso down too much and right into Alonso’s power stroke.
Brett Baty and Starling Marte both hit HRs in the 3rd on pitches Knack left up and very hittable. They did not go very far (391’ and 371’) but both far enough. A HBP, BB, and single led to a Sac Fly and a 4-0 lead before Jack Dreyer came in to relieve Knack.
Dreyer entered with runners on 1st and 3rd with one out, and Juan Soto at the plate. Soto got the unintentional intentional BB on 4 pitches that were not close to load the bases for Pete Alonso. Dreyer struck out Alonso on a 2-2 slider that was not a particularly good slider, but good enough. Jack then induced Jeff McNeil to a F9 to get out of the jam.
In the 6th, Dreyer allowed a single and struck out Soto before Doc brought in newly signed RHRP José Ureña. Things did not start well for Ureña. After an Alonso single and a WP put runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out, the Dodgers pulled off the defensive play of the game. After a 9-pitch K of McNeil, Will Smith picked off Marte at 3B for a strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out double play to end the inning.

Ureña retired the side in order in the 7th, and got the first two outs in the 8th. But Marte followed with a double, and Ureña intentionally walked Soto to get to the RH batter Alonso. Alonso singled to give the Mets a 5-3 lead. Vesia was called in to get the final out of the inning.
This set up the LAD comeback. NYM RHRP Reed Garrett has been almost unhittable this season. Garrett walked Mookie to lead off the 8th, and Will Smith doubled him home. Teoscar hit a long enough fly ball to CF that moved Smith the 3rd. With the infield pulled in, Andy Pages hit a bouncer to 3B that Baty had trouble pulling the ball out of his glove. When he threw home the ball went off the catcher’s glove. Garrett was backing up catcher Alvarez but with Alvarez between Garrett and the plate, he was blocked and could not get to Smith as he hid home safely to tie the score.
The Dodgers tie it up on one of the wildest plays you'll ever see!

Pages moved to 2nd on a WP, but Tommy Edman struck out for the 2nd out. In a predictable move, Freddie Freeman PH for Kiké Hernández and was intentionally walked, also predictable. This brought up the most lost hitter in MLB, Michael Conforto. On the first pitch, Conforto lined an opposite field single to LF that scored the go-ahead run. It broke an 0-30 run while hitting wRISP, and first since he hit a run scoring double in the 2nd inning of the March 31st game against Atlanta.
The streak is over ‼️
Michael Conforto snaps his 0-for-30 streak with runners in scoring position
His first hit with a runner in scoring position since MARCH
— Blake Harris (@BlakeHHarris) June 5, 2025
I still cannot understand why Conforto has such a problem hitting. If you watch the video, his head does not move, and he is quick to the ball, stayed in the zone to drive it into LF. It was a great AB.
I am not that much of a Pollyanna to say that Conforto has turned the corner, but I am also not that much of a skeptic and cynic to think it doesn’t trigger something. Something triggered a resurrection for Andy Pages and Max Muncy. I am not holding my breath, but it sure would be nice to see if it does.
Mookie and Smith were the hitting stars in this one. Mookie was 2-2 with 2 walks, and a run-scoring double. This led to a Will Smith run-scoring single. Shohei had two ground ball singles and 2 Ks.
This was a great win for the Dodgers, and while fans can point to negatives (like they can in almost every game), I will accept that Landon Knack took a step back, but the bullpen and timely hitting brought the TEAM a win. The Dodgers are exactly where they were in the NL West standings before the Mets series: 2 games up on San Diego and 3 games up on San Francisco.
Justin Wrobleski will be starting on Friday vs the Cardinals and Sonny Gray.
MiLB Game Summary Reports
OKC Comets 4 – Reno Aces (Arizona) 2
Nick Senzel slugged his 6th HR the OKC Comets led the rest of the way in a 5-3 win against the Reno Aces. Senzel’s 3rd inning solo homer gave the Comets a 1-0 edge and OKC later added three runs in the fourth inning, including a RBI single by Hunter Feduccia. Later in the inning with the bases loaded, Senzel drew a walk to bring in a run and Justin Dean was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to give OKC a 4-0 advantage.
The Aces scored two runs in the fifth inning off OKC’s SP, Justin Jarvis, to trim OKC’s lead to 4-2.
With the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Austin Gauthier connected on a RBI single to extend the Comets’ lead back to three runs.
Reno later tacked on a run in the ninth inning as the Aces outhit the Comets, 11-5.
Nick Senzel reached base three times. Besides his sixth home run of the season with OKC, Senzel walked, hit by pitch, stolen base, and a game-high two RBI. He has back-to-back multi-RBI games and six with OKC this season. He has 22 RBI in his 23 total games with the Comets.
Kody Hoese has not played since May 27, going on the IL. Thus, Senzel is getting a long runway.
No Comet had a multi-hit game, and Senzel’s HR was the only XBH.
Box Score
Tulsa Drillers 7 – Amarillo Sod Poodles (Arizona) 4
Tulsa outfielder Chris Newell had a big offensive night to lead Tulas to a 7-4 victory over the Amarillo Sod Poodles. He generated only 2 hits in his past 8 games, but slugged a pair of HRs driving in four runs in this one.
However, Newell was not the only star in this one. Not to be outdone, Tulsa starting pitcher Chris Campos turned in the longest and perhaps best start by a Drillers pitcher this season.
The two runs charged to Campos scored on Caleb Roberts’ sacrifice fly in in the fourth inning and Gavin Conticello’s solo home run in the seventh. The Drillers held a 6-2 lead when he departed. He completed seven full innings and allowed two runs on three hits with three strikeouts.
Newell’s big night began in the second inning when his first home run of the evening gave the Drillers a 1-0 lead.
One inning later, John Rhodes drew a bases-loaded walk to double the lead.
Tulsa continued to score runs as Yeiner Fernandez plated Sean McLain with a single in the fourth.
Newell’s second homer came in the fifth inning and was a three-run shot that doubled gave Tulsa a 6-1 lead.
The two runs charged to Campos scored on Caleb Roberts’ sacrifice fly in in the fourth inning and Gavin Conticello’s solo home run in the seventh. The Drillers held a 6-2 lead when he departed the game.
Campos’ seven innings were the longest from a Tulsa pitcher since Campos worked an eight-inning start on August 7, 2024 against Arkansas.
Damon Keith produced Tulsa’s seventh run in the eighth inning on a groundball that allowed McLain to score from third base.
Amarillo attempted ninth-inning rally by earning three hits and drawing two walks to plate a pair of runs. Kelvin Bautista killed the comeback attempt by recording the final out to pick up his first save of the year.
RHRP Livan Reinoso worked another scoreless inning to lower his ERA to 0.79 since joining the Drillers. He has been charged with one earned run in eight Double-A appearances (11.1 IP).
- Yeiner Fernandez – 3-4, 1 BB, 1 RBI
- Taylor Young – 3-5, 1 run
- Chris Newell, 2-4, 2 runs, 4 RBI, 2 HR (9)

Box Score
San Jose Giants 6 – Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 4 (10 innings)
The Quakes dropped their fourth straight game as the San Jose Giants came up with a ten-inning 6-4 victory.
The loss for Rancho sets a new season-high, as their lead over Lake Elsinore, who’s won seven straight games, is down to just six with 12 to play in the first half. The lead should be safe, but you just never know.
Down 3-1, Eduardo Quintero slugged his 10th HR of the season in the 6th.
The Quakes trailed by two runs on three different occasions, but rallied back to tie the game in the seventh. With Gio Cueto aboard at first, Eduardo Guerrero (3) tripled him home to make it 4-3. Guerrero later scored on a throwing error to even the game at 4-4.
Rancho had a shot to win it in the ninth against eventual winner Evan Gray, but Joendry Vargas popped up with the bases loaded, sending the game to extras.
In the tenth, Dilan Figueredo, making his season-debut for Rancho, surrendered an RBI single to the first batter of the inning, as Jakob Christian singled home Maui Ahuna to put the Giants ahead to stay. Christian later scored on a throwing error, giving the Giants a two-run lead.
The Quakes went in order in the bottom of the 10th.
RC will send California League Pitcher of the Month of May, Christian Zazueta, to the mound on Friday night.
- Roger Lasso – 2-4, 1 RBI
- Eduardo Guerrero – 2-4, 1 run, 1 RBI, triple (3)
- Samuel Munoz – 1-2, 3 BB
- Eduardo Quintero – 1-3, 2 BB, 2 runs, 1 RBI, HR (10)
Box Score
I have been pulling for Conforto to at least do something positive. This was huge for him. Smith picking off the runner at third was a thing of beauty.
Yes, the pick-off was glorious. Smith is having a great season.
Confidence builder for Conforto. Hopefully this will get him going.
Yes, Smith with the defensive play of the game. Game changer.
Dodgers going 7-6 vs Mets, Guardins, Yanks and Mets again is almost unbelievable considering the state of our pitching .
Go Dodgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More of a testament to our batters.
Do you wake up in the morning sucking on lemons to get so sour?
Not at all. Sleep like a baby and look forward to every game. Criticism doesn’t mean someone is sour. Your judgement of me is another matter, I’m sorry to say.
I know Scott apologized for his comments about the Dodgers last year and said he was wrong about the Dodgers not having the pitching to win the World Series.
I could be wrong, but you seemed to disappear after last year’s World Series, until the Dodgers pitching was a problem again this year. Maybe if you wrote something positive every once in a while about the Dodgers, instead of just vitriol?
Regardless, I will go back to ignoring your comments. Shame on me for reading one. I honestly do not need all the negativity.
You’re being very judgemental, monsieur. It’s nothing personal. However, you seem to have taken a personal grudge against me. Otherwise, why would you ignore all my comments. You probably missed some of my praises because of it.
After the season, I don’t think about baseball or any other sport except the problems that the Warriors have had with their cap selections during the draft. That too has taken a back seat as I prefer to be more in the moment of my actual life. This is the only blog I actually comment on anymore. Sports do not define me. Perhaps that’s where we differ greatly. It is not a religion for me as it might be for some folks. I also live in a very different culture than America. I’m not your cookie cutter kind of fan, but I am a fan.

That win was a gift. Smith was a dead duck at home and the Mets blew it. 2 unearned runs. Thank you, we’ll take it.
Conforto an opposite field line drive? Where has that been? He’s been rolling that pitch over to second base all year. A sign? Hope so.
And now it’s Wrobleski and his 6.00 ERA. Gulp.
A gift indeed Badger! This is an example of why I disagree with accepting the strikeout with the three true outcome in analytics.
Pages swings at a terrible pitch in the dirt and he somehow makes contact and puts the ball in play. And look what happens.
With a strikeout the play is over. The defense doesn’t have the chance to make an error on a very simple play.
My criticism of Conforto yesterday apparently was all that was needed to get him to FINALLY contribute to the offense. Lol.
He seems like a good guy and well liked by his teammates. Not wishing for him to continue to fail at the plate, but it has to be a very short leash with his future as a Dodger.
Dodger insider, Jack Harris said on SI that he does not expect LA to make a blockbuster deal at the deadline.
makes sense. little room for a blockbuster deal.
Bench piece or another bullpen arm maybe, but I do not see any major shakeup unless they give up on Conforto.
Well, that’s no fun…
Still like the idea of this lineup:
Shohei DH
Mookie SS
Freddie 1B
Teo RF
Smith C
Max/Kike 3B
Pages LF
Mullins/Edman CF
Kim/Edman 2B
If we get 3 out of Snell, Glasnow, Sasaki, Ohtani back for the stretch run I do not see them make a move for another starter.
Same with the pen. If they get back 3 out of Yates, Kopech, Graterol, Sheehan,Henriquez they probably will stay put .
On the offensive side I could see a deal for a CF if Conforto continues to struggle. MM appears to have turned a corner.
Go Dodgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I’m negative-nancy, but I doubt Glasnow can stay healthy thru the season.
Well, the season is past 1/3 of the way through. All they need him for is August-October. If he pitches like he can, it will be huge.
The Dodgers’ fall behind early as the starting pitcher struggles, then they either win or lose trying to overcome the early deficit. This is the (mostly) clockwork-narrative we’ll have to endure for the foreseeable future. Oh well, this will strengthen the team’s character & resiliency as the season progresses. Right. It is what it is.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Wrobleski can give us. I always thought he and Casparius would be starters for the team. With Casparius, I can understand why he is in a reliever status, but I think he might do well as a 4/5th starter. Knack has allowed 10 HRs, the most on the team with Gonsolin closely following. Knack also has a .147WHIP. Gonsolin not doing much better.
Wrobleski fails miserably to impress me. Who will be our #5? I’m lost on this.
Conforto was 0 or 30 with RISP. Now he is 1 for 31.
Will this be remembered as a turning point for him? We’ll see.
While I root for every Dodger who steps to the plate, I think it’s a fan’s responsibility to think critically. Is Conforto, in the greater scheme, really preferable to Outman or Ward or perhaps Cedric Mullins?
Nice hit, but I still think Conforto may be a $17 million pinch hitter in October. With the current roster, the optimal OF still reads Pages-Edman-Teo, with Kim at 2B.
At any rate, hitting isn’t the Dodgers’ big problem. The problem is pitching–especially the way starting pitching has been ravaged by injuries. Certainly the Dodgers’ rotation has proven much less durable than many others?
The current pitching stats tell a story:
Yamamoto leads the Dodgers in innings pitched with 67.2. That ties him for the 50th most in MLB.
Again: 50th.
Several other teams have two or three pitchers with more IP than the Dodgers’ busiest hurler.
The Yankees have a nice one-two punch in Max Fried (81 IP) and Carlos Rodon (79.2). The Giants have Logan Webb (81.1) and Robbie Ray (77.1). The Astros have Framber Valdez (85) and Hunter Brown (73.2). The Rays have old friend Ryan Pepiot (76) and Zack Littel (74.2).
Et cetera, et cetera…
Other teams, it seems, value durability more than the Dodgers do. The idea of Glasnow–the ideal, perhaps–has been much more appealing that the reality. While we hope that Glasnow and Snell and Sasaki all return healthy, I find myself hoping that Sheehan and especially Shohei will wind up providing the Dodgers the 1-2-3 punch the team needs.
Should they consider a trade?
Well, it’s been suggested that the Astros might deal Valdez….
Neither Knack nor Wrobleski should be pitching for the Dodgers. For Sacramento maybe, but not for the Dodgers.
It’s my opinion Snell and Ohtani are keys to the Dodgers postseason success. Glasnow and Yamamoto will hopefully be there too. I say again, if those 4 can all contribute the Dodgers will pull away in the second half.
And as for a deadline blockbuster? It’s too early to know if one will be needed. Anything can happen between now and the end of July.
What does Ryan Ward need to do to get a shot?
For one, he would need to be on the 40-man roster, which he isn’t. Ward has nothing left to prove in AAA. He might end up being a AAAA player. But he has done enough to at least get a cup of coffee. But it won’t be with LA because no way they just cut Conforto and call up Ward.
He doesn’t need to do anymore than he currently is doing. The Dodgers need to trade him to a team that will give him a “Conforto” runway and allow him to prove he belongs on a big league team. It has to be very frustrating for him and others in AAA.
Wish they gave rookies as long a window as they give veterans
how would this work?
Veterans are less likely to have options, have flexible contracts and are more likely to make more money.
Rookies are also much more likely to need development.
Depends on the rookie. No way Rushing is going to unseat Smith as the starter, nor is Kim unseating whoever starts at second. They give rookie pitchers more leeway than the position guys.
Get traded.
Wrobo V Gray tonight, Yoshi takes on Fedde tomorrow and May gets the start on Sunday against TBA. Cardinals have been hot. Rain is forecast for St. Louis around midnight, and then heavy showers on Saturday starting around noon until 6PM.
Well I’m now more sure than ever that the Dodger Brass reads Dodger Chronicles for ideas. Just last week I shared my promotional idea of the Tyler Glasnow or Blake Snell Bobble Head, where after the 4th head bobble, its arm falls off.
Well, now I see that Monday, June 16th is a Blake Snell Bobblehead Night. I wonder if they have stolen my arm falling off idea as well? Coincidence? I don’t think so.
So I’m watching Landon Knack pitch and I’m thinking WTF? He can be so frustrating. He’s had a couple of nice outings lately but yesterday, he’s throwing it all over the place and walking 5 guys in 3.1 innings on 86 pitches. And his misses are not close.
I get it if you’re Ricky Vaughn on Ryne Duren but Knack has an MLB average fastball. And throughout his professional career, he has maintained at 33% walk rate.
Years ago, I stopped using the term “waste-pitches” with my guys. It was the standard term in those days and I started using “Chase-Pitches”. Waste to me indicated pitches that weren’t competitive and basically a waste of time. Chase pitches have a purpose and should be competitive.
Knack, and too many of our other pitchers, throw shit that bounces in the opposite batters box, 52 footers that give the catcher no shot to block, or fastballs 1/4 the way up the screen.
A nice bullpen job saved Knack fro the loss he deserved.
I think in the coming years it’s very possible that Andy Pages could evolve into a top shelf Major League hitter with both power and slug. He has a big-time ceiling. I hope I’m around to see it.
Dodgers need to play Wild Thing when Knack takes the mound. Change his number to 99.
Maybe he’s been instructed to aim at the edges and whatever you do, DO NOT miss inside those edges. That fastball is batting practice if it’s over the middle.
He’s 27, I doubt he develops any further. In 107 innings he has 4.18 ERA, which isn’t awful, but his inconsistency is troubling. He might give you 6 with 1 earned, like he did against the powerful Yankees or he might do what he did last night. The Dodgers are going to keep throwing him out there because a. they have to and b. the team is 6-3 in his 9 appearances.
You can choose to believe Tyler Glasnow on the health of his shoulder, or you can continue to listen to the uninformed click bait blogs who thrive on negativity. We will have to wait and see, but it sure sounds as if Glasnow wants to ramp it up, but is being told to slow the roll.
You can also listen to what he said that led to his injured shoulder, or you can choose not to believe him. I choose to believe him. Naïve? Perhaps, but I have always looked for solutions and work arounds. Kind of like Kanga. Or you can be like woe is me Eeyore.
Tyler said that he will be back in plenty of time for the pennant rush and into the playoffs.
Doc is basically confirming what Glasnow was saying. While the Dodgers expect several pitchers to return in the second-half of the season, Roberts revealed the priority is to preserve as many arms for October.
“As far as return to play, there’s certainly a cautiousness to it,” Roberts said.
I choose to believe that Snell, Glasnow, and Sasaki will be back for the 2nd half, and apparently the Dodgers do as well which is why they do not expect to make any big trades at the deadline. Those three are the trade deadline pickups, along with Kopech, Yates, Henriquez, and possibly Treinen. Per NBC Sports Rotoworld on May 17::
Blake Treinen (forearm) has started his throwing program as he works his way back from the forearm strain that has sidelined him since the middle of April. The right-hander can come off the 60-day injured list on June 18, and there’s a good chance he’ll be ready for activation right around then — assuming no setbacks, of course.
What pitchers will be available that would give the Dodgers a better chance of winning this year? That is not to say that I do not believe that AF/BG would turn down an opportunity to acquire Ryan Weathers with 3 more years of control. Or Freddy Peralta with a very favorable 2026 option ($8MM). Or even a rental, Nick Martinez, who can slide into the bullpen for the playoffs. I find it hard to believe that Houston would trade Framber Valdez, but if they do, I am sure AF/BG will listen. One other name who could surface is Atlanta’s Chris Sale. Atlanta is 7.0 games behind in the WC race.
Good post
A certain south of the border lefty starter will be available at the all star break
Fernando Valenzuela?
Are you referring to Urias or Bauer?
Only one of them is a lefty
Excellent point
Yeah, that went over my head as well. I know not that hard to do.
Julio Urías will be eligible to return to MLB on July 17. Bauer is already eligible. Teams just staying away. We will see what happens with Urías.
He will a Ted Kluszewski jersey in games and off the field a tank top.
I have as have others appreciated Conforto’s swing. Maybe that swing would make him a good pinch hitter. He might be a better bench piece than Rojas given Kike’ and Kim being redundant utility players.
I would then make the regular outfield as Pages RF, Outman CF, Hernandez LF. I’d rather see Kike’ platoon with Max and use Kim to rest Edman and Betts.
Rockies released Jacob Stallings.
It’s not just us. Corbin Burnes to undergo Tommy John surgery. Killer for Dbacks
Horrible. Hes a stud
The disparity in relative terms of player trade value is amusing. There are multiple outlets that believe the Dodgers could be interested in a reunion with Walker Buehler after Jeff Passan wrote about such a possibility. One outlet trade-mocked a one for one deal. Walker Buehler to LAD and AA RHSP Jared Karros to Boston. And yet another had the Dodgers acquiring Walker for James Outman and Jackson Ferris. Neither one is feasible. Yes, IMO.
Conforto for Buehler would better match salaries.
Dodgers need Buehler way more than Boston needs Conforto. Boston is looking to potentially trade an OF to make room for Roman Anthony. I doubt that either team is going to let salary dictate.
You don’t see off speed like this at OKC, do you Dalton?
Rushing looking slightly overmatched lately. He’ll figure it out.
Wrobleski with 4 earned in 6 actually lowered his ERA … to 7.2. Yoiks. He did show a 100 mph fastball. Had no idea he owned one of those. Didn’t matter much as he was easily out pitched by Gray.
Another come from behind?
Many chances this evening. A lot of swing and miss in key situations.
Right now in the season, we’re just hanging on, gasping for air
False
Another anemic effort by the offense. 1 for 13 RISP, 9 LOB, 9 SO.
