Sons of Steve Garvey:
Randy Wolves
Randy Wolf (10-6, 3.22) vs. Zach Duke (10-14, 4.02)
DODGERS' OFFICIAL MAGIC NUMBER: 14
COMMENTS: Some random Randy Wolf facts:
Their mating season generally runs from January to April.
Both his win total and ERA have improved in each of the last 4 seasons.
If the female wolf is not sexually receptive to the male's advances, she will repel the male with growls and snaps of her jaws.
Of the 10 major leaguers named Randy, 8 are pitchers (how many can you name?). Only one has a better ERA than Randy Wolf, and none has more wins.
Wolves often have long-standing and monogamous relationships, and after mating, a wolf will continue to be affectionate with his mate.
He was born on the exact same day as Jeff Weaver.
All wordplay gags aside, chew on this: yesterday's win put the Dodgers at +27 games above 0.500 for the 4th time this season. A win tonight would put them at +28 games above for the first time since...October 1, 1988.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Howl At The Moon—Randy Wolf to Return to the Bump
Workhorse.
In a season that has seen 12 different starting pitchers for the Los Angeles Dodgers thus far, that’s the only way to describe how Randy Wolf put the starting staff on his back from the end of June until early September.
Wolf, in 14 starts from Jun. 29-Sept. 5, tossed 93.2 innings—good for an average of 6.2 innings per start.
That is a almost a full inning...
Still out west
Randy Wolf and Zach Duke at 10:0whatever tonight. I'm hearing that none of these games are on FSN Pittsburgh this week, but LA's affiliate is carrying them. That means that anyone that's out of town and has Extra Innings gets to hear Vin Scully talk about Ryan Doomit and the traded Pirates and such. Perhaps tonight, I'll be able to stay awake for the end of it.
Dodgers activate Mota; Wolf to start on Tuesday
The Los Angeles Dodgers received some good news on the pitching front on Monday, announcing Randy Wolf will return to the mound on Tuesday against the Pirates and activating reliever Guillermo Mota off the 15-day disabled list.
Pittsburgh Pirates (55-87) at Los Angeles Dodgers (86-59), 10:10 p.m.
Facing the wayward Pittsburgh Pirates has enabled the Los Angeles Dodgers to extend their lead atop the National League West. With Randy Wolf ready to return to action, the chances appear good for the defending division champs to at least maintain their current advantage in the playoff race.
Post-Game 146 Thread: Preparing for the Playoffs, Plundering the Pirates
DODGERS 5, PIRATES 4 (13)
Joe Torre played the first nine innings of this game like it was a playoff game, irrespective of the score, substituting wildly late in the contest. From the mound, he had Randy Wolf go through seven innings of three-run, five-hit ball, followed by Ramon Troncoso for two outs, George Sherrill for one out to the left Garrett Jones, and the ninth inning...
Billingsley Gets Pushed
Fine with me.Instead of pitching on his normal schedule, which would have meant a Saturday outing against the same Giants team that knocked him around last Sunday, slumping starter Chad Billingsley will not pitch until Wednesday, when the Dodgers face the Nationals in Washington.Vicente Padilla pitches Friday against San Francisco, Jon Garland goes on Saturday and Randy Wolf starts...
Pirates fall to Dodgers in 13 innings, 5-4
If Zach Duke's left arm and bat have anything to do with it, these Pirates might avoid a 100-loss season. Yet manager John Russell could care less about that number of defeats, talking last night about how he awaits a day when his club would have a shot at a 100-victory season.
And On A Happier Note: Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 (13 Innings)
I'm getting a serious dose of east coast bias here in Arkansas, which is set in the central time zone; the Dodgers managed to tie this one up after trailing most of the way in regulation following a Steve Pearce homer and Zach Duke's RBI single, both in the second inning.
The Dodgers edged closer in the fifth on a Casey Blake triple and Mark Loretta's sac fly, and then...
