Tony Gonsolin debuted yesterday, but things didn't go as planned. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
The 33-pitch first inning was a disaster. It started with Dyson’s bunt single with two strikes to defeat the shift. Speedy Tim Locastro then beat Gonsolin, who hesitated a split second, to first for an infield single, Pederson booted a routine grounder and Escobar slugged a three-run homer before there was an out.
“I wouldn’t say the game sped up on me. I think I held my composure very well,” said Gonsolin, a former outfielder who laced a single in his first MLB at-bat. “Just comes down to executing pitches. It was a lot of fun on both sides of the ball.”Gonsolin also recorded his very first Major League hit. Unfortunately, the Dodgers couldn't overcome the early damage. They lost 8-2 to the Diamondbacks (boxscore). Photo above via Jill Weisleder/Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Insider. Go here to check out more pics from yesterdays game.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1939 the Dodgers and Boston Braves/Bees play a 23 inning game that ends in a 2-2 tie. In 1980 Jerry Reuss throws a no-hitter against the Giants at Cadelstick Park, 8-0. He faces just 28 batters, and missed a perfect game due to an error by Bill Russell in the first inning. In 2011 the Dodgers file for bankruptcy following the leagues refusal to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal with FoxSports.
- Happy Birthday, Jackie Hayes, Bull Durham, Hank Behrman, Wayne Terwilliger, Daryl Ward & Jim Johnson!
- No worries... (crossing fingers)... He should be fine! Via a tweet from Ken Gurnick:
Dave Roberts said Cody Bellinger has been nursing sore knee patella tendon, took him out to save him for tomorrow.— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) June 26, 2019
- Following the above tweet, Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA (who was fist the news about the Gonsolin call-up) says that Rios is coming to LA -- "Dodgers call up Edwin Rios from OKC."
- A Giants blog, McCovey Chronicles, is trying to convince their fans that a trade with the Dodgers ain't all that bad -- Bryan Murphy at McCovey Chronicles -- "Embrace the sweet release of a Giants-Dodgers trade."
Nobody wants to see the Dodgers win the World Series, and if you’re Spectrum cable in Los Angeles, you don’t want people to see the Dodgers at all, but they’re going to keep winding up there; and, eventually, through inertia, an umpire’s decision, or Cody Bellinger, they’re going to win it. Can adding Will Smith make that happen this year?I sure hope not. On the other hand, why fight the inevitable?
- He's movin' on up! Via a video tweet by the Tulsa Drillers:
