THANK YOU, JACKIE: The Dodgers look for the three-game series sweep of the Mariners and celebrate the 68 th anniversary of the breaking of baseball’s color barrier with Jackie Robinson’s MLB debut on April 15, 1947. In addition to Jackie Robinson Day, tonight’s game is also the 2015 Civil Rights Game and, as has been a tradition each April 15 since 2009, MLB will celebrate Jackie Robinson Day with all players and on-field personnel wearing No. 42 jerseys. Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s widow, will play a central role in tonight’s first - pitch ceremony, which will also feature Sandy Koufax, Don Newcombe, Joni Campanella (Roy’s daughter) and scholars from the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Dolores Huerta, Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Frank Robinson also will be recognized during pre- game ceremonies. Actor and multi-platinum Grammy-nominated artist Tyrese Gibson will perform the national anthem. The first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive a Jackie Robinson Replica Jersey presented by Bank of America. Major League Baseball has held a number of events in conjunction with the Civil Rights Game, including a youth baseball clinic yesterday and a roundtable discussion on the pivotal role baseball played in the civil rights movement, the game’s continued presence as a social institution in American society and present-day social issues affecting the country and the world earlier today. A pre-game press conference prior to tonight’s game will be held at 6:15 p.m. in the Dodgers’ Interview Room with Commissioner Manfred, Rachel Robinson and Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Dodger players will attend the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s Blue Diamond Gala during the off -day tomorrow before finishing the homestand with a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies this weekend. WALK-OFF THIS WAY: Los Angeles looks to extend its season- long winning streak to four and pick up its first series sweep of the season tonight against the Mariners, which would be its second all- time series sweep over Seattle (July 9-11, 1999 at Dodger Stadium). It would be the Dodgers’ first Interleague sweep since winning both games in Anaheim against the Angels, Aug. 6-7, 2014 and their first three-game Interleague sweep since April 30-May 1, 2014 at Minnesota. The Dodgers won the first two games of the series in walk- off fashion, picking up back-to-back walk-off wins for the first time since July 28, 2013 vs. the Reds and July 30, 2013 vs. the Yankees and doing so on consecutive days for the first time since May 31-June 2, 2010, when Los Angeles swept the D-backs with three consecutive walk-off victories. The Dodgers have gone 140-156 all-time in Interleague play, but have posted winning records against the AL in consecutive seasons, going 12-8 in 2013 and 11-9 last year. Howie Kendrick continued his Seattle success last night with his seventh career walk-off RBI, as he went 2-for-4 and drove in the tying and winning runs in the ninth inning. Kendrick is facing a familiar foe in the Mariners, against whom he ranks among the active leaders in games (134, 3 rd ), hits (131, 3 rd ), doubles (35, 3 rd ) and RBI (65, 5 th ). Overall, Kendrick has hit safely in seven of his eight games this year, including four multi-hit games. Kendrick has a .310 batting average (145-for-467) in 118 career Interleague games and joins Yasiel Puig (.331, 39-for- 124), Carl Crawford (.300, 195-for-651) and Adrian Gonzalez (.297, 179-for-603) in hitting well against the opposite league. DRESSED TO IMPRESS: Limited tickets remain for the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s inaugural Blue Diamond Gala Thursday, which includes a fashion show by Ted Baker London (modeled by Dodger players) and a performance by Grammy- nominated artist Aloe Blacc. For tickets and information on Blue Diamond Gala sponsorships, please visit www.dodgers.com/gala. MAKING MOVES: The Dodgers today recalled right-handed pitcher Carlos Frias from Triple-A Oklahoma City, claimed left-handed pitcher Ryan Dennick from the Reds and designated left-handed pitcher David Huff for assignment. Dennick, who is on the 40-man roster, has been optioned to Double-A Tulsa. Frias, 25, last pitched on Friday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, picking up the win and allowing three runs on eight hits in 5.1 innings against Round Rock. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder made four Cactus League appearances (one start) for the Dodgers this spring, allowing six runs in 8.0 innings, and appeared in 15 games (two starts) for the club last year in his first big league action. Dennick, 28, has gone 27-31 with 18 saves and a 3.88 ERA in 210 career minor league games (26 starts) in seven seasons and saw his first big league action last season with Cincinnati, appearing in eight games. Dennick has made two relief appearances for Triple-A Louisville this year, allowing three runs (two earned) in 2.2 innings. He was selected by Kansas City in the 22nd round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Tennessee Technological University. FOLLOW THE LEADERS: Los Angeles hit two more home runs last night and is tied with the Orioles and Mariners for the big league lead with 13 home runs this season. The Dodgers also lead the NL with 31 walks and a .347 team on-base percentage. Dodger pitchers have also posted a Major League-leading 87 strikeouts, nine more than any other team (SD, 2 nd , 76). Andre Ethier hit his first home run of the season and the 146 th of his career last night, moving within one homer of tying Adrian Beltre for 10 th on the all-time Los Angeles home run list. FIREMEN: Yimi Garcia picked up the win for a second consecutive game last night with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning after earning his first big league win on Monday. Among relievers, Garcia is tied with Colorado’s Adam Ottavino for the big league lead with 10 strikeouts and has allowed just one run on two hits in 6.0 innings in five appearances this year. Joel Peralta has opened his Dodger career with five scoreless outings, allowing just two hits and striking out four without a walk in 4.1 innings. Peralta picked up the win on Opening Day against the Padres and has already earned two saves this year after entering the season with only 12 career saves in 556 previous relief appearances. GOING GONZO: Adrian Gonzalez, the reigning National League Player of the Week, extended his hitting streak to 10 with two hits last night, batting .588 (20-for-34) with six doubles, seven homers and 11 RBI during the run, which began on Sept. 27, 2014. He leads the Majors in hits (17), home runs (5, T-1 st with Seattle’s Nelson Cruz), batting average (.548), on-base percentage (.622) and slugging percentage (1.194) and also tops the NL with 10 runs scored. Gonzalez’s 17 hits tie for the most by a Dodger through the club’s first eight games along with Reggie Smith (1980), Babe Herman (1929) and Tommy Griffith (1919). The club record for hits through nine games is 18, held by Zack Wheat (1923, 1925), Smith (1980), Eric Karros (1995) and Griffith (1919). He has reached base safely at least twice in each of the Dodgers’ eight games this year.

THANK YOU, JACKIE: The Dodgers look for the three-game
series sweep of the Mariners and celebrate the 68th anniversary of the
breaking of baseball’s color barrier with Jackie Robinson’s MLB
debut on April 15, 1947. In addition to Jackie Robinson Day, tonight’s
