Tweets Of The Night: Dodgers Drop Finale To Diamondbacks 4-1
After an 11-inning game last night, the Dodgers and Diamondbacks faced each other one last time at Dodger Stadium as the Dodgers looked to complete the three-game sweep.
For the Dodgers, Hyun-Jin Ryu was looking for his 14th win of the season and after suffering back tightness, he made his first start in 11 days. The Diamondbacks countered with Patrick Corbin and he’s been successful against the Dodgers in the past with a 1-0 record and 3.27 ERA.
Don Mattingly rested Juan Uribe, Andre Ethier, Mark Ellis, and Carl Crawford against the tough lefty as last night’s hero Scott Van Slyke and Michael Young among others will start in their place.
Here are the tweets of the night:

To the bottom of the 9th we go — #Dodgers trail 4-1.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
If Eaton scores here, and Garcia never records an out in the majors, Garcia’s career ERA will be infinity. #98
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
Kind of a weird introduction to the majors for Garcia, who throws four straight balls and gets pulled
— Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) September 12, 2013
Onelki Garcia, No. 98, to the mound to make his Major League-debut. Garcia is first No. 98 in #Dodgers history.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
Onelki Garcia’s debut.

An entire game of lousy plate approaches
— LasordasLair (@LasordasLair) September 12, 2013
Adrian Gonzalez’s personal 13-game hitting streak against Arizona is on life support. Eighth-inning strikeout leaves him 0-for-3.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
If Dbacks lead holds up: Ryu will be 1-3, 4.01 ERA, 29 Hs in 24 2/3 IP over his past 4 starts. Nolasco has leapfrogged him as No. 3 starter
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) September 12, 2013
Puig hits his 16th HR of the season to get the @Dodgers on the board. @Dbacks lead 4-1 Bot 7th. #ARIvsLAD on ESPN

That bomb by @YasielPuig almost hit Carlos Marmol at the back of the bullpen
— DodgersBeat (@DodgersBeat) September 12, 2013
Puig, guilty of murdering a baseball.
— Chad Moriyama (@ChadMoriyama) September 12, 2013
Brian Wilson gets the D-backs to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to end the top of the 7th, but the Snakes add one more. #Dodgers down 4-0.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
Cheers for Don Mattingly as he comes to get Brandon League. Boos for League as he leaves. Cheers for Brian Wilson as he jogs in.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
Is there such thing as too much rest? #Dodgers Ryu 4.10 ERA 48 H in 37 1/3 IP in 6 starts w/ 6 or more days rest. 11 days off before tonight — Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) September 12, 2013
Hyun-Jin Ryu’s day is over after six inning. Brandon League is pitching. — J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
Dodgers strand 8 runners from second through fifth inning, 5 of them in scoring position
— Anthony Jackson (@dodgerscribe) September 12, 2013
#Dodgers are 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position tonight, trail 3-0 through five.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
At the end of 5 innings, #Dodgers trail 3-0. — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
After that groundout to end the 4th Yasiel Puig is now just 3-for-24 (.125) w/RISP in his last 24 opportunities — Ryan Walton (@RyanWaltonMLB) September 12, 2013
Hyun-Jin Ryu just gave up his ninth hit and we’re still in the top of the fifth, 3-0 Arizona — Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) September 12, 2013
Can the Dodgers get a clue and get some decent plate approaches? Or they could just keep guessing at the plate
— LasordasLair (@LasordasLair) September 12, 2013
A tidy 3rd inning for @HyunJinRyu99 — #Dodgers trail 3-0 through 2.5 innings.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
Hyun-Jin Ryu is batting .294 with runners in scoring position. Bats here with the bases loaded, where he’s 0-for-2.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
.@markasaxon Ryu’s pitches are breaking bad, too. Not in character.
— GrandPaD (@_GrandPaD) September 12, 2013
Ground-rule double for A.J. Ellis. Adrian Gonzalez has to hold at third base. #Dodgers #Dbacks
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) September 12, 2013
Hyun-Jin Ryu not fooling anyone tonight. 3 singles in the 1st inning, 2 doubles (so far) in the 2nd. Not a good trend. #Dodgers down 3-0
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) September 12, 2013
According to @pedrogomezESPN, Hanley/Adrian each had the day off, but insisted to Don they play “until it’s closed out”
— Mike Petriello (@mike_petriello) September 12, 2013
D-backs tally two in the first — Yasiel Puig to lead off the bottom of the frame for the #Dodgers.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) September 12, 2013
Now taking the field, your Los Angeles #Dodgers. #ITFDB https://t.co/aIbKSCfelj
