Pitcher Dustin May gave up five runs as the Dodgers looked flat again in the 6-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.
6-1 loss at Dodger Stadium
“Being a young pitcher, [coming off] Tommy John, first year back, to kind of give him as much opportunity to have success preparation-wise, routine-wise, obviously that makes the most sense,” manager Dave Roberts said pregame. “Is it cemented? I’d probably stop short of that. But that’s most plausible.”The Dodgers rallied late to win the opener 6-5 but made four errors in a 5-2 loss in the second game of a doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
With two outs, and Varsho at second after a stolen base, May had Christian Walker in a 1-and-2 hole, only to throw a wide fastball and a low curve that left the count full. He then threw an elevated sinker Walker dumped into left for a broken-bat RBI single. Unlike some of May’s other blunders since returning to the active roster, his problems Wednesday were less about command and more about conviction, with Roberts citing possible problems with pitch selection and plan of attack.
