Tweets Of The Night: Zack Greinke Loses 1-0, Bats Go Silent Again
The Dodgers had an impressive 11-0 win last night against the Colorado Rockies. Clayton Kershaw pitched six scoreless innings and the Dodgers exploded offensively for 11 runs as Carl Crawford and A.J. Ellis both had three RBIs each.
Tonight, it doesn’t get any easier for the Rockies as the Dodgers had Zack Greinke on the mound and he was looking for his 16th win of the season. Like Kershaw, Greinke was looking to add to an already impressive regular season and make one last tuneup start before the NLDS.
The Rockies had Juan Nicasio pitching tonight and he hasn’t won in his last five appearances. Nicasio is 8-9 with 5.32 ERA and hasn’t pitched past the second inning in his last two starts.
Hanley Ramirez was back in the lineup tonight, but Yasiel Puig and Mark Ellis got the night off.
Here are the tweets of the night.
#Dodgers fall to the Rockies, 1-0.

New pitcher, Brian Wilson. #Dodgers down 1-0 heading into the 9th inning.

With Arizona’s loss, this 2013 #Dodgers team has now won the division by the largest margin in LA team history. Previous was 10 (1977, Reds)

Two strikeouts in a perfect 8th frame for Paco Rodriguez. Skip Schumaker to lead off the 8th for the #Dodgers, down 1-0.

#Dodgers stranded bases loaded in 6th inning. Again. They are the worst-hitting team in majors with bases loaded — 26 for 134 (.194)

Ronald Belisario is making his 77th appearance of the season, tied with Brad Ziegler of the D-Backs for National League lead

Zack Greinke done after 6 IP 1R 4H 0BB 7K. Finishes season with 2.63 ERA. Will fall to 15-4 unless #Dodgers rally from current 1-0 deficit
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) September 29, 2013
Zack Greinke done for the night. Leaves after 6, trailing 1-0. Ronald Belisario now pitching
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) September 29, 2013
#Dodgers leave the bases loaded. Los Angeles 0, Colorado 1– through 6 innings.

Zack Greinke hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in a start since July 25.

I’m putting on my rally underwear
— LasordasLair (@LasordasLair) September 29, 2013
If Greinke is done after 6, his regular season will end with a 2.63 ERA, 148 K, 46 BB in 177 2/3 IP. He allowed 19 runs in final 16 starts
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) September 29, 2013
Six innings and 90 pitches and Zack Greinke is done for the night, apparently.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) September 29, 2013
This is Zack Greinke’s 28th start this season, all in NL parks, and this is the 1st time he has struck out twice in a game
— Pedro Moura (@PedroMoura) September 29, 2013
With 2 strikeouts tonight, Zack Greinke’s OBP down to .409. But unless he makes 2 more outs, he’ll be 3rd Dodgers P (min 50 PA) w/.400 OBP
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) September 29, 2013
Braves fall to Phillies 5-4. If Cardinals win Sunday OR Braves lose, Dodgers play ATL in NLDS. StL loss + Atl win = Cards-Dodgers NLDS

The #Rockies take a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th inning on Nolan Arenado’s RBI double. #Dodgers

Kemp is sore again, but as long as everyone is ready to go on Thursday night, then it’s all good
— LasordasLair (@LasordasLair) September 29, 2013
Matt Kemp was removed from the lineup prior to the game for precautionary reasons with left ankle soreness. #Dodgers

Matt Kemp was scratched with left ankle soreness. Precautionary reasons, Dodgers say.
— Pedro Moura (@PedroMoura) September 29, 2013
Matt Kemp has been a late scratch from the lineup. No world yet on why.

Matt Kemp was in the original starting lineup but didn’t start the game.
