The DodgersHowever, there's no time to lick wounds in the 162-game MLB schedule. The D-backs are in game two of 13 games in a 13-day stretch heading into the All-Star Break. When they take the field, they will do so behind right-hander Cristian Mena, a rookie making his major league debut.
Mena posted an excellent 3.70 ERA through his first 11 starts, but June has been a rough month, as he's put up a 7.43 ERA. He's been very tough on right-hand batters, allowing a .234/,.305/.365 slash line. But left-hand batters have tuned him up, batting .310/.411/.612. Four left-hand batters are in the Dodgers lineup, including Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.. He uses the pitch 33% of the time. It's Mena's excellent breaking and off-speed stuff that makes him effective.
