In Shohei Ohtani's first matchup together with his former membership since leaving Anaheim, although it was a spring coaching recreation, the Angels received the final snigger with a 4-0 victory, kidding, kidding. The Dodgers and Angels performed as soon as earlier than, a little bit over every week in the past, however Ohtani wasn't on the sphere for that one.
Ohtani went hitless in three at-bats on Tuesday night time with two strikeouts, snapping a string of seven consecutive plate appearances by reaching base.
The constructive notes on this deal from the Dodgers facet have come within the type of strong pitching. Bobby Miller might not have the identical stress he had final season, with some highly effective additions, however expectations stay excessive for the sophomore righty.
Dealing with a considerably close to full-strength Angels lineup, Miller sailed by way of three scoreless innings simply by conserving the ball on the bottom.
With two strikeouts, Miller allowed 9 balls in play in three frames, permitting a pair of hits and getting all seven of his non-Ok outs by way of floor balls. In his first inning, Miller threw round a Mike Trout single. This reality shouldn’t be so related if not for the expectation of the identical situation that’s routinely repeated within the common season.
One other spotlight of the night was the continued accumulation of Daniel Hudson and Blake Treinen, two doubtlessly key cogs within the Dodgers' bullpen if they will keep wholesome.
Hudson handled some visitors, together with permitting the primary run of the sport, however the truth that they left him out to complete the body with 27 pitches is telling. Treinen's outing was crisper as he allowed only one baserunner, however pitched round to get a scoreless fifth.
As soon as, Max Muncy was hit by a pitch, this group close to the highest of the proper knee, and Dave Roberts took no possibilities, eradicating Muncy from the sport on the spot.
May or not it’s me? The 2 video games I lined in spring coaching had the Dodgers' beginning third baseman hit by a pitch. I assume we'll see subsequent week.
