DODGERS POSTCAST: Gavin Stone was dominant in a complete game shutout

Dodgers scored first in the 5th on a Gavin Lux double followed by a Will Smith rbi single. The Dodgers would fall behind on a 2-run homer from Matt Chapman off of Daniel Hudson. LA battled back in the 9th after Andy Pages lead off with his first career triple and then a Jason Heyward sac fly. The Giants would walk it off in the bottom of the 9th on a 2 -run homer from Brett Wisely.  

The Los Angeles Dodgers were off on Thursday, but we got the results of the first round of All-Star voting, with good news for Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Teoscar Hernandez, bad news for Will Smith, and bad-but-not-terrible news for Freddie Freeman. We also had listener questions, so we talk about the trade deadline, Tarik Skubal, Vlad Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, Tanner Scott, Taylor Ward, and more. Plus some talk about top LA prospect Josue De Paula and Jeff's preferred chicken wing dips. Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

The Dodgers swept the White Sox behind a leadoff homer from Shohei Ohtani and a masterful performance from Gavin Stone. Ohtani set a franchise record with an RBI in his 10th straight game, and he's been on fire since moving to leadoff. Stone threw a complete game shutout and has stated his case to be an All-Star this season. What a turnaround from the struggles of last season. Lastly, the guys talk about a potential deal for Randy Arozarena and then if the Dodgers should allow Ohtani to participate in the Home Run Derby. Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Gavin Stone gets win number 9 in his first complete game shutout allowing just 4 hits while striking out 7. Dodgers finish off their sweep of the White Sox 4-0. Shohei Ohtani lead off the game with another home run his 3rd from the leadoff spot and 25th of the season. It was also his 10th consecutive game with an rbi which sets a Dodgers record.  

The Dodgers won on Tuesday in Chicago thanks to Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and the bullpen. It was a good showing for all of them, but it was not a good showing for Bobby Miller. He once again struggled and went just two innings. Is there concern for Miller? Also, the Dodgers were involved in some rumors involving the White Sox and their two stars, Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert. Which of the two would you like the Dodgers to consider? Lastly, it's been exactly half the season now. What are the thoughts about the first half?Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Rough outing for Bobby Miller getting into trouble right away in the first giving up 3 which included a homer from Anthony Benintendi. Miller would be pulled in the 2nd after throwing 60 pitches. But the bullpen would come and take care of business shutting the White Sox down. A leadoff homer from Shohei Ohtani  got the scoring started, his 24th. Freddie Freeman would tie the game at 3 with an opposite field shot and Shohei Ohtani would come through again knocking in the game winner in the 4th.

The Dodgers won a game in which they started James Paxton against Garrett Crochet. A big shout out to Paxton for matching zeros with Crochet, and another shout out to the bottom of the Dodgers lineup for coming up with the necessary runs to win the game. Miguel Rojas pushed his streak to 23-0 for when the Dodgers win and he gets a hit. While the stat is a bit of a gimmick, he's also contributed to a handful of those wins. Miguel Vargas is playing well and has remained playing part-time against left-handed pitching. Are the Dodgers doing that for the team success or more for keeping Vargas' trade value high for the deadline? Lastly, Clayton Kershaw was shut down from throwing but it's not nearly as concerning as it could be.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

James Paxton hurled 5 solid innings allowing no runs on just 3 hits striking out 6. The bullpen would preserve the shutout throwing a total of 44 pitches over 4 innings. Miguel Rojas doubled to lead off the 7th. Kike Hernandez would knock him to break a scoreless tie. Kike would then score to double the lead on a throwing from a ground ball hit by Chris Taylor who had his 6th hit in 6 games.

The Dodgers split the two-game series with the Angels but Shohei Ohtani continues to rake in the leadoff spot as he hit two home runs over the weekend. Should the Dodgers consider keeping him there if he keeps that going? Also, the Dodgers bottom of the order had a really good week. While it's a good sign that things could be turning around, it also doesn't mean that the Dodgers shouldn't keep trying to upgrade. Lastly, Tyler Glasnow pitched very well and efficiently on Saturday all while making the City Connect uniforms look not too shabby.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Gavin Lux got the scoring started with a home run in the 3rd followed by a bunt single from Cavan Biggio and then a home run from Shoheo Ohtnai his 23rd  made it 3-0.
