Dodgers starter Noah Syndergaard lasted just four innings, giving up six runs in that time. The Dodgers have their first back-to-back losses of the season.
Syndergaard made it only through four innings, the shortest outing by a Dodgers starter this season . He didn’t miss many bats, getting just three swings-and-misses out of 72 pitches. His fastball – the subject of so much attention this spring and optimism from Syndergaard – averaged just 93 mph, down from 94.1 mph in his first start of the season.
Two of Syndergaard’s four-seamers met with over-the-fence fates, Geraldo Perdomo and Ketel Marte each hitting one for a two-run home run in the second inning. But Syndergaard wasn’t the only Dodgers pitcher treated like so much stale Peeps by the Diamondbacks Saturday. It was a one-run game, 6-5, when he left the game but the three pitchers who followed Syndergaard – Alex Vesia, Brusdar Graterol and Andre Jackson – gave up six runs on nine hits over the final four innings.
Back-to-back losses at Chase Field have given the Dodgers their first losing streak of the season. In those two games, they have given up 18 runs on 27 hits including 12 for extra bases – four home runs, seven doubles and a triple. The offense tried to keep up. J.D. Martinez had two doubles and a sacrifice fly. Jason Heyward hit his third home run of the season. And Freddie Freeman had a four-hit game — two singles and two doubles .
