Dustin May scratched from today's start. Brusdar Graterol will start a bullpen game.

RHP Graterol is 0-2 with a 3.06 ERA. LHP Adrian Morejon (2-0, 2.53 ERA) will be one of a squad of bullpen pitchers for the Padres. It's sort of startling that neither team, in the third game of a crucial series with only ten games left in the season, has a regular starting pitcher going.
Here are highlights of Tony Gonsolin's game yesterday:
On this day in Dodgers' history:
1924 Cardinal first baseman Sunny Jim Bottomley goes 6-for-6, including two homers, and bats in a record twelve runs when the team beats the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, 17-3. The previous mark of 11 RBIs in one game was established in 1892 by today's opposing Dodger manager, Wilbert Robinson.
1976	In the 11th inning at Veterans Stadium, Rick Joseph hits a walk-off grand slam in the Phillies' 8-4 victory over the Dodgers. Two batters are walked intentionally by Ron Perranoski to face the weak hitting Philadelphia pinch hitter, who responds with his first career home run, which will be his only round-tripper this season.
1988 The Reds' Tom Browning pitches a perfect game against the Dodgers, striking out eight and allowing only eight balls to be hit out of the infield in his 1-0 victory. Over three starts, including the perfect game, he retires 40 consecutive batters – one shy of a major league record.
On September 16, 1993 Dave Winfield got his 3000th hit. In 1996 Paul Molitor did the same. And in 2005 Youppi!, who got his start at Olympic Stadium, is named as the first official mascot of the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the first to ever switch from Major League Baseball to the NHL. The acquisition, reportedly at the cost of six figures, is made possible when the Expos leave the hairy orange arm-waving giant behind in favor of an eagle called "Screech" when they moved to Washington, D.C. to become the Nationals.

Dodgers at Cardinals, 5:00 PM PDT, TV: ESPN
On ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball RHP Ross Stripling (8-3, 2.61 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers and RHP Adam Wainwright (1-3, 4.70 ERA) goes for the Cardinals. Stripling's three losses this season have come on the road despite a 2.86 ERA in his 18 appearances away from Dodger Stadium. He's 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA against the Cardinals in his short career. This is Wainwright's fifth start of the year. He made three in April and injured his elbow, tried to come back in May but wasn't ready, and has made one start in September. Six days ago he started against the Pirates, went five innings, gave up seven hits and four earned runs but avoided the loss. Because of this lost season, he's thinking about retirement.

Dodgers at Nationals, 10:05 AM PT, TV: Fox
LHP Rich Hill (9-8, 3.67 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and RHP A.J. Cole (2-4, 4.30 ERA) pitches for the Nats.
Hill has lost his last four starts and since his near-perfect game in Pittsburgh he's got a 6.14 ERA. Cole has never faced the Dodgers and hasn't started for the Nationals since Sept. 4. He's made a couple of relief appearances since then, giving up three runs in four innings.
