True Blue LA podcast episode 2123: Getting no-hit, bouncing back, and All-Stars

This week on the podcast, we look back at the Dodgers getting no-hit by the Cubs to start the homestand, then the winning streak that followed.

We also talk about the All-Star Game roster selection process, which Dodgers are still alive for starting spots, and the players with the best cases to make the team. All that, plus ice cream sandwiches.

Please send us any Dodgers-related questions for a future podcast by email to tblapodcast@gmail.com, or tweet us at @ericstephen or @jacobburch. Thanks as always to producer Brian Salvatore for helping us bring this podcast to you every week.

In a week that Clayton Kershaw struck out 13 batters, we look back at another 13-strikeout performance, this one by Aaron Harang seemingly out of nowhere in 2012.

Harang’s game featured a Dodgers-record nine consecutive strikeouts, just one shy of the major league record of 10 straight that was held solely by Tom Seaver until Zack Wheeler tied him just last week.

The Dodgers signed Harang to a two-year deal before the 2012 season, and after making 31 starts for them in his first year, he was part of a much-ballyhooed eight-starter rotation in the spring of 2013 (sound familiar?). Harang, who was not suited for the bullpen, was instead traded to Seattle in the first week of the season. And the Dodgers ended up using 10 starting pitchers in April anyway.
