Dodgers news ...
Joc Pederson hit a pinch-hit home run to lift the Dodgers to a win over the Diamondbacks. They didn’t get swept! You can read the TBLA game recap here.
Scary stuff in Sunday’s game when Dustin May was hit by a comebacker on the head. He cleared concussion protocol and will be okay.
HUGE news! Gavin Lux will be called up later today and will make his MLB debut tonight.
Around the league ...
Justin Verlander threw the THIRD no-hitter of his career, adding to his sure-to-be Hall of Fame career. He became just the sixth pitcher in MLB history to throw three or more no-hitters in their career.
