We won’t be providing full coverage tonight, just some social media highlights. The reason we can’t is that we were recording a podcast with Doug McKain with Dodgers Nation. Look for it soon and we will put out some alerts when it is published.
We will also be at the Quakes game on Friday, August 5th.
To the highlights:
Drew Avans extends his on-base streak to 36 games.
Drew Avans leads off the 1st inning with a double to extend his on-base streak to 36 games and later scores on a RBI single by Jason Martin! pic.twitter.com/RDOqrsxmh5

James Outman with the elite defense.
If you hit it toward a guy named James Outman, you can't be surprised when this happens. pic.twitter.com/9UQnMU7jku

River Ryan is a good one.
River Ryan, whom the Dodgers got from the Padres for Matt Beaty, is showing one heck of an explosive fastball – lots of late and ugly hacks at the pitch, pxp noted 97-98, and it definitely showed good carry. Tonight's line:
5.0 IP
3 hits
0 runs

The ever-improving Carson Taylor at catcher.
A couple nights ago I mentioned how much better Carson Taylor has gotten behind the plate this year. Well, watch this.
Okay Dodgers, I have a bone to pick. This is why you don't catch the ball and swipe. Straddle the bag and drop the glove and the runner is out easily. #dodgers pic.twitter.com/o6NmJRA3cU— Dodgers Daily (@dodger_daily) July 30, 2022
Jordan Leasure continues to dominate.
Jordan Leasure is like Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, he's a machine! In his last 20 outings, he's given up a grand total of 1 run! UNO! That covers 20.2 innings and during that span, he has 26 strikeouts and just 5 walks. Wow! #dodgers pic.twitter.com/lvtUzZ368d

Nick Nastrini is that guy.
Nick Nastrini picked up the W tonight for Great Lakes, and with this quality start, he has 3 of them in his last 4 outings. During this run, his ERA is just 1.57, with a K/BB of 26/6. Tonight's line:
6.0 IP
4 hits
2 runs (earned)
2 BBs
6 Ks⬇️ pic.twitter.com/VvNcf4s5KT— Josh Thomas (@jokeylocomotive) July 30, 2022
A healthy Kody Hoese is a good Kody Hoese.
Here's your daily dose of Kody Hoese greatness at 3rd base. That's back-to-back nights he's made an insanely good play at 3rd base.
The dude can play some D and he's hitting .266 on the year! Keep grinding Kody! #dodgers pic.twitter.com/2QcVok48DS— Dodgers Daily (@dodger_daily) July 30, 2022
Mark Washington is so good.
Mark Washington was back in form tonight for OKC going 1.1 scoreless. I've been saying this for quite a while, but @mrako_polo is one of the best relief pitchers in the Minor Leagues. I can get into a million reasons why, but I'm just gonna leave this tweet with that. #dodgers pic.twitter.com/xe844Bjsmk
