Tony Gonsolin pitches six shutout innings, Will Smith and David Peralta hit two-run homers in the first inning and the Dodgers shake off a frustrating road trip with a 5-1 win.
LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers arrived home from a losing road trip in need of a convincing win.Tony Gonsolin threw six shutout innings en route to a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox before an announced crowd of 45,561 at Dodger Stadium.
Gonsolin’s fastball velocity was diminished but his results were not. The right-hander walked two batters and allowed two singles – one as a result of a mental error by second baseman Miguel Vargas – and struck out six batters in six innings. A right forearm strain limited Gonsolin to seven starts in the second half of last season, following a first half in which he went 11-0 and was selected to the National League All-Star team. He missed nearly the first month of the 2023 regular season with an ankle sprain. Gonsolin hasn’t missed a turn in the rotation since; Manager Dave Roberts reiterated that he is not guarding against any unreported health issues.
