Tweets Of The Night: Juan Uribe Hits Three Home Runs In Dodgers Win
The Dodgers returned home after a 2-4 road trip to start a seven-game home stand against second place Arizona and the rival Giants over the weekend.
After scoring only seven runs over the weekend, the Dodgers had starter Ricky Nolasco on the mound as he looked to pick up his eighth win as a member of the Dodgers. Nolasco was 7-2 against the Diamondbacks in his career and with the opportunity to reduce the magic number even more, he was the perfect starter to have on the mound.
For the rest of the season, the Dodgers will only play NL West teams and with only a 28-28 record against divisional foes, it still won’t be easy.
With the Diamondbacks in must-win mood, the Dodgers need to keep the gas on the pedal as they look to put further distance between themselves. Here are the tweets of the night.
It is Sept 9 and the defending World Series champion #SFGiants have been mathemathically eliminated in NL West. #Dodgers

Puig looked safe. Hand got in. Tag was late on the shoulder.

#Dodgers 23rd sellout of 2013.

Juan Uribe gets infield single — but does not tie MLB record of 4 HR. Unusual night for the big guy. #Dodgers

Trade of the year? Ricky Nolasco has a 2.07 ERA in 12 starts since being traded to the Dodgers. Will move to 8-1 with a Dodgers win.

Puig was swinging to make it 8 HR’s for Dodgers, he strikes out swinging.

#Dodgers‘ six HRs are most since they hit seven on Sept. 18, 2006 vs. #Padres.

Something I never thought I’d see: Juan Uribe made a curtain call at Dodger Stadium after hitting his third HR of the night.

Juan Uribe has 3 home runs. First Dodger since Andre Ethier on June 26, 2009

This glorified batting practice is fun.

That run snaps Ricky Nolasco’s scoreless streak at Dodger Stadium. It reached 24 1/3 innings
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) September 10, 2013
Didi Gregorius lines an RBI double just out Yasiel Puig’s reach. #Dodgers 5, #Dbacks 1.

Juan Uribe, human highlight reel. #Dodgers

When Uribe got back to dugout after second HR, Hanley and Puig fed him a banana

Adios! Adrian Gonzalez drives a two-run blast into left. #Dodgers lead 4-0.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 10, 2013
That was a GREAT play by Papi!

Vin Scully on the Didi Gregoirus fly out to Andre Ethier: “High fly ball to dead center, the emphasis on dead.”

Jack-to-Jack! Papi crushes a solo shot into left! #Dodgers lead 2-0.

Andre Ethier with a solo shot!

Puig is left stranded at third base. 0-0 after 1. #Dodgers #Dbacks
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 10, 2013
That’s Yasiel Puig, ending up at third base on an overthrown comebacker.
