Sheehan pitches six no-hit innings in his major-league debut, but the bullpen gives up five runs over the next three innings and the Dodgers go on to lose, 7-5, in extras.
LOS ANGELES ― Ross Stripling wasn’t in the ballpark for Friday night’s game between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. He was tuning in from Arizona, where he is on the Giants’ injured list rehabbing a back injury, noting the coincidences.
Sheehan threw six innings without allowing a hit in his major league debut, but the Dodgers lost the opener of a three-game series with the Giants, 7-5, in 11 innings. The Dodgers’ third starting pitcher to make his major league debut this year, Sheehan skipped straight from Double-A Tulsa to the big leagues at age 23. His father, George, and mother, Maureen, were both present.
Brusdar Graterol took over to begin the seventh inning and allowed a single to the first batter he faced, Thairo Estrada. Wilmer Flores followed with a home run to bring the Giants within 4-2. In the span of minutes, the drama of the no-hitter vanished. The Dodgers intentionally walked Michael Conforto to load the bases for Casey Schmitt, who also poked a ground ball toward Rojas’ backhand. The throw to first base was late, Schmitt was safe, and Pederson scored the go-ahead run from third.
