May 2: Dodgers 16, Brewers 4 — A grand ol’ time
AJ Pollock and Matt Beaty each hit grand slams, marking the fourth time that the Dodgers hit two grand slams in one game, and the first time since Shawn Green and Adrián Beltré did so on May 21, 2000, against the Marlins.
Mariano Duncan and Pedro Guerrero also did it against the Expos on Aug. 23, 1985. The first time that it happened was Sept. 23, 1901, when the club was known as the Brooklyn Superbas.
May 1: Brewers 6, Dodgers 5 (F/11) — Extra extra-inning anniversary
On this date in 1920, the Dodgers and Boston Braves played 26 innings, the longest game in Major League history by number of innings, with the game called tied, 1-1, due to darkness. While the Dodgers used 10 pitchers in their loss on Saturday, Leon Cadore pitched all 26 innings of that game against the Braves. The 26-inning affair took three hours and 50 minutes; by contrast, Saturday’s 11-inning game lasted four hours and 48 minutes.
