Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller throws to the plate during the first inning of their game against the Chicago Cubs on Friday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Miller, who turned 25 on Friday didn’t get out of the second inning and gave up the first five runs in a 9-7 loss. Miller turned 25 on Friday and celebrated by striking out the side in the first inning. Miller had “tons” of friends and family in attendance for his first career start at Wrigley Field, less than an hour from his hometown.
The Dodgers made a game of it, pulling within a run in the fifth inning, by scoring at least five runs for the 10th consecutive game to start the season, a franchise record. Only seven other teams since 1880 have started a season with a streak of 10 games or more and no team has had a longer streak since the New York Yankees ran off 13 consecutive games of at least five runs to start the 1932 season.
“It was a good first inning from Bobby. Obviously the second one got away from us,” Smith said. “Just constantly behind in counts. They forced him into the zone with some fastballs and they capitalized on it. That was kind of frustrating. But the costliest damage came in the sixth inning when a poor decision by Hernandez in right field led to two Cubs runs.
A sacrifice fly made it a three-run inning for the Cubs. That held up for the difference in the game – with an assist from the wind blowing in off Lake Michigan.
