Oakland Athletics (4-8) vs. LOS ANGELES DODGERS (4-6) RHP Daniel Mengden (0-2, 6.55) vs. LHP Alex Wood (0-1, 1.93) Wednesday, April 11, 2018 7:10 p.m. Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, CA Game 11 Home Game 6 Night Game 7 TV: SportsNet LA, SNLA Spanish Radio: AM 570 (English); KTNQ 1020 AM (Spanish) LET S MAKE IT THREE: Following the 4-0 shutout victory over the Athletics to open their five-game homestand last night, the Dodgers look to win their third consecutive game for the first time this season and win their first series of the year tonight. After blanking Oakland in yesterday s contest, Los Angeles is currently tied with the Kansas City Royals for the most shutout wins in the Majors with three. Following tomorrow s off-day, the Boys in Blue will take on their division rivals, the Diamondbacks, for a three-game weekend set. Prior to tonight s contest, the Dodger organization will be awarded the 2017 Wilson Defensive Team of the Year Award, while right fielder Yasiel Puig will receive the 2017 Wilson Defensive Player of the Year as baseball s best defender in right field. Also, the first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive a Dodgers Hooded Sweatshirt presented by Security Benefit. SEEING GREEN: Los Angeles, who is facing the A s for the first time since 2015, snapped its two-game skid against Oakland last night. Despite the Dodgers trailing in the overall series against the Athletics, 11-19, the Boys in Blue are 9-5 overall against Oakland at Dodger Stadium. The clubs will meet again for a two-game series in Oakland on August 7-8 and though they don t play often, there are many connections between the two teams: Prior to joining the Dodgers, General Manager Farhan Zaidi spent 10 seasons in the Athletics organization. Dodger bench coach Bob Geren spent 13 seasons in the Oakland organization (1999-2011), including serving as the manager from 2007 until June 9, 2011, posting a 334-376 record. Geren also spent three seasons as the bullpen coach for the A s from 2003-05 and spent one season as the bench coach in 2006. Dodger pitching coach Rick Honeycutt played for Oakland from 1987-93 and once again in 1995. Honeycutt won a World Series with the A s in 1989. Prior to being acquired by the Dodgers at the 2016 trade deadline, Rich Hill made 14 starts for the Athletics that year and went 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA (19 ER/76.0 IP). Former Los Angeles outfielder and current Dodger broadcaster Rick Monday was made the first ever player selected in the Major League First-Year Player Draft in 1965 by the Kansas City Athletics. Monday played six seasons for the Athletics (1966-71) and was named an All-Star in 1968. ALEXANDER THE GREAT: Dodger southpaw Alex Wood will take the mound tonight for his third start of the season and looks to record his first win of the year. In his last start on April 4 at Arizona, Wood allowed three runs on six hits in 6.0 innings with five strikeouts as he recorded the loss. Despite starting the season 0-1, Wood has been stellar on the mound as he has allowed just three runs in 14.0 innings (1.93 ERA), has held hitters to a.146 average and has posted a 0.50 WHIP, which is currently tied for the third lowest in the Majors (min. 10.0 IP). Wood has also struck out 10 batters without issuing a walk to start the season. In two career starts against the Athletics, Wood has gone 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA (5 ER/11.2 IP) and has limited the opposition to a.231 average. He last faced the A s on Aug. 19, 2015 in Oakland, allowing three runs on five hits in 5.2 innings and recorded the loss. KINGS OF THE HILL: The Dodger pitching staff has started the season off on the right foot as Los Angeles leads the National League in ERA with a 2.47 mark (27 ER/98.1 IP) and trail just the Astros (2.02 ERA) for the big league lead. The Dodger pitching staff has been lights out, as they have allowed just one or fewer runs in six games this season, which is currently the most in the Majors. Dodger starters currently lead the senior circuit with a 2.03 ERA (13 ER/57.2 IP) and trail just the Boston Red Sox (1.68 ERA) and the Houston Astros (1.93 ERA) for the top spot in the Majors. They are also holding hitters to a.216 average (4 th, ML) and are posting a 1.06 WHIP (2 nd, ML).

The 2020 Midsummer Classic, which will be the 91 st edition in the event s history, will make its return to Los Angeles for the first time since 1980. This will mark the fourth time in franchise history that the Dodgers will hold the Midsummer Classic, including the third time in Los Angeles and the second at Dodger Stadium. Prior to the 1980 All-Star Game, the Dodgers played host to the Midsummer Classic in 1959 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and in 1949 at Ebbets Field. Alongside the Commissioner of Baseball, Dodger President and CEO Stan Kasten, Los Angeles City Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo, Dodger Manager Dave Roberts and Dodger All-Stars Kenley Jansen and Justin Turner were present on stage during the press conference this afternoon. Dodger Hall of Famers Tommy Lasorda and Jaime Jarrín, along with Dodger legends and former Dodger All-Stars Don Newcombe, Ron Cey, Reggie Smith, Bill Russell and Manny Mota were also in attendance. INTERLEAGUE STRONG: With yesterday s win over the Athletics, the Dodgers have won 14 of their last 15 Interleague games and have been victorious in its last 10 consecutive home Interleague matchups. Los Angeles posted a 16-4 (.800) record in Interleague play last season, which tied for the best winning percentage in the Majors with Boston. Dodger infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor continued his dominance in Interleague play, as he led last night s game off for the Dodgers with a solo shot for his first homer of the season and his fourth career leadoff home run. Throughout his career when facing the opposing league, Taylor has posted a career.304/.352/.470 slashline with 10 doubles, three homers and 14 RBI in 35 career Interleague contests. Taylor has also reached base safely in his last 10 Interleague games, going 20- for-40 (.500) with seven runs, six doubles, two homers, nine RBI and two stolen bases along with a 1.345 OPS. Dodger All-Star shortstop Corey Seager followed Taylor s home run with a longball of his own for his first home run of the season and the Dodgers first back-to-back homers of the year. Seager has also seen success against the opposing league, as he has hit safely in 13 consecutive Interleague games dating back to July 7, 2017. During that span, he has gone 17-for-54 (.315) with three runs, two doubles, two homers and 10 RBI. お誕生日おめでとうございます!: The Dodgers would like to wish a very happy birthday to right-handed pitcher Kenta Maeda, who turns 30- years-old today. Maeda, who is slated to make his second start of the season on Friday against the Diamondbacks, has gone 1-0 in two games (one start) and has yet to allow a run in 6.0 scoreless innings, while striking out 12 against just one walk. The native of Japan is in his third big league season, as he has gone 30-17 with a 3.73 ERA and has collected one save in 63 games (58 starts) with the Dodgers. Happy birthday Kenta! The Dodgers would also like to wish a very happy birthday to hitting coach Turner Ward, who is turning 54 years-old. Ward, who is in his third season as the Dodgers hitting coach, guided the Dodgers to establish franchise records in extra-base hits (553), doubles (312), home runs (221) and slugging percentage (.437) in 2017.
