Dustin May struggles with command issues in Dodgers' loss to Padres
No alarms were going off in the Dodgers clubhouse after losing two of three to the pitching-rich New York Mets. Here are takeaways from the series.“It’s just his third start with us, so to expect him to be lights out every time he takes the mound is unfair,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think with Tommy John, the main thing is he continues to build up, stay strong, and the command should start to come.
May’s control problems hurt him in the third. After Soto took a 99.8-mph fastball inside for a one-out walk, Machado lined his 25th homer of the season into the left-field pavilion for a 2-0 San Diego lead. Right-hander Heath Hembree struck out Ha-Seong Kim and Austin Nola and was one strike away from escaping the jam when he gave up a three-run homer to Jurickson Profar for a 7-0 Padres lead.
“Just bad all around, couldn’t throw strikes,” May said. “Everything feels healthy. Everything was normal. I just wasn’t over the plate.” The Dodgers’ bullpen got a potentially huge shot in the arm before the game when veteran right-hander Blake Treinen, out since mid-April because of a shoulder injury, was activated.
