The Diamondbacks score three times in the first inning against rookie starter Bobby Miller and never trail on their way to a 4-2 win. The Dodgers are down two games to none with Game 3 of the best-…
Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller shows his frustration after the Arizona Diamondbacks scored a run during the first inning of Game 2 of their National League Division Series on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES — When Brusdar Graterol entered in the second inning Monday night, the theme song of wrestling star “The Undertaker” played over the stadium sound system. It was a reference to Graterol’s costume when the team dressed up on the final road trip of the regular season.
After Clayton Kershaw’s disastrous start in Game 1, the Dodgers turned to 24-year-old right-hander Bobby Miller, hoping that the rookie nicknamed ‘Bobby Ice’ would not melt on the postseason stage.Miller lasted 11 batters, retiring five of them . His nerves were evident from the start. Only eight of his first 18 pitches found the strike zone including just two first-pitch strikes to the seven batters he faced in the first inning. Miller threw 15 breaking pitches in the game.
Coupled with the Diamondbacks’ six-run first inning against Kershaw, it was the first time all year the Dodgers gave up three or more runs in the first innings of back-to-back games. When Gallen allowed back-to-back singles with one out in the sixth, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo brought an early hook. With a run of left-handed hitters coming up, Lovullo brought in rookie left-hander Andrew Saalfrank.
