Try not to cry as you watch a young Clayton Kershaw fan tell the story of his grandfather, who died of brain cancer and how he always wanted to meet the #Dodgers ace. I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😢😭 #AllStarGame #AlwaysLA

Episode #39 is out! I had @NBCLA’s @michaeljduarte on last night to recap the Twins/Dodgers & Red Sox/Phillies series, trade deadline potential moves for #Dodgers & #Phillies, and much more. #RingTheBell #LetsGoDodgers youtube.com/live/SmS4YLJEN…
Intentional walks became an official MLB statistic 70 years ago, in 1955. Since then, only one player has been intentionally walked with his team an out away from losing and nobody in scoring position and then come around to score the winning run: Shohei Ohtani.
Shohei Ohtani homers in 5th straight game, Freddie Freeman delivers the walk-off hit as Dodgers rally to beat Twins 4-3 >> nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/sh…
We all know about Shoehi Ohtani's five straight games with a homer, tying the Dodgers franchise record, but today was Freddie Freeman's 16th career walk off hit and that's the most walk off hits and RBI of any active player in MLB.

FINAL: #Dodgers 4 #Twins 3 LA is 60-43. Down to their last strike, LA wins thanks to Freddie Freeman. Bader couldn't make the game saving catch. Freeman saved them because they didn't play well. Tyler Glasnow struck out 12 and allowed just one run in 7 innings. Ohtani hit his…
Ruiz puts the bat on his shoulder and works a walk. Honestly, impressive. Bases are loaded for Freddie Freeman with two outs in the 9th. Where have we seen this before...
Shohei Ohtani gets the Barry Bonds treatment. With a runner on first and 2 outs, and Ruiz on-deck, Ohtani gets an intentional walk to put the tying run in scoring position. Everyone is booing, but that's the right call if you're Baldelli.
The three walks by Yates kill the Dodgers as Bader’s infield chopper gives the Twins a 3-2 lead
Vesia immediately gets the double play but the game is tied, no-decision for Glasnow, and go-ahead run is 90-feet away.
Welp. Kirby Yates relieved Tyler Glasnow and walked the bases loaded. Not a great bullpen right now. Vesia comes into the game in a tough spot trying to play the role of fireman

Tommy Edman puts the @Dodgers on top and Tyler Glasnow is loving it! 😄
Mookie Betts starred in a commercial for the new animated movie Bad Guys 2 👀🐺
Tommy Edman with an RBI single with the bases loaded and that’s a good sign to see. Outside of one game Edman has been struggling. Big AB.
Tyler Glasnow looks locked in. He’s allowed one run with 12 strikeouts in 7 IP.
Shohei Ohtani is the first left-handed batter in the modern era (since 1901) with a streak of 5+ straight games with a home run and a streak of 5+ straight games with a stolen base in his MLB career.
