The San Francisco Giants have begun to resemble the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

ESPN says it will air Scully’s live commentary for SportsNet LA for the entire fourth inning of the matchup between the Dodgers and the rival Giants.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Johnny Cueto will undergo an MRI on his injured groin on Wednesday. “But we got to the ‘pen and just really couldn’t get anything going”.
That time is almost upon us.
After building a cushion in the NL West, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still being extremely careful with Rich Hill and his pesky blister. He will call his final game on October 2.
“It’s going to be a dogfight the rest of the way”, Bochy said after his team snapped a three-game losing streak.
Boston Red Sox’s David Ortiz (34) watches his three-run home run in front of Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters and home plate umpire Mike Everitt in the seventh inning of a baseball game in Baltimore, Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The Dodgers and Giants played as if they were waiting for someone to tap out Tuesday night. Here, Hill used his usual curveball attack and then froze Belt with a 90 miles per hour, 1-and-2 fastball on the outside corner. After a quick replay review, however, the ball was ruled a solo home run, making Nunez responsible for both of the Giants’ runs in this series.
Whether it was Don Larsen’s flawless game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series or Hank Aaron’s record-breaking 715th home run to surpass Babe Ruth in 1974, Scully’s evocative voice was there.
“God has been so good to me to allow me to do what I’m doing”, said Scully, a devout Catholic who attends Mass on Sundays before heading to the ballpark.
Hill, the hard-luck loser, took his second consecutive defeat. The Los Angeles Dodgers offense has been hit or miss recently, and they’ve won 10 of their last 12 games when scoring more than three runs.
“It’s disappointing. I made one mistake to Nunez, and he did what he should have done with the pitch”, Hill said. “I take 100 percent responsibility for this”. In the latter, Cueto induced a popup from slugger Adrian Gonzalez with two men on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world”, he said of the 1955 World Series. He came off the mound and shook his leg after throwing a pitch to Andrew Toles, which brought the training staff out of the dugout. “I just want them to enjoy the Giants and the Dodgers”. The Dodgers activated LHP Alex Wood from the disabled list and designated RHP Bud Norris for assignment.2.
The Toronto Blue Jays thrashed the Seattle Mariners 10-2, the Houston Astros overcame the Oakland Athletics 2-1 after 10 innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3. The Giants’ 2-1 defeat to Los Angeles on Monday was the fifth time in September that they lost after leading through eight innings.

Vin Scully has seen plenty of fracases between the Dodgers and Giants in his 67 years behind the microphone. That marked the largest regular-season crowd in the majors since August 30, 2012 – which was also at Dodger Stadium, and also a Scully bobblehead giveaway.
