With their bullpen overworked, the Dodgers choose to keep struggling pitcher Justin Wrobleski on the mound in a 14-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers made a business decision Sunday. After two hard-fought, high-intensity wins to open this weekend’s pivotal four-game series in Arizona, the team had a chance to really stretch its lead in the National League West; to perhaps build a gap too insurmountable to be squandered in the season’s final month. However, they were also wary of the worn-out state of their roster. Of a bullpen that had combined for 12 innings in those two wins.
Making his sixth career start, the 24-year-old left-hander was jumped by the Diamondbacks and their high-powered lineup in the second inning. Randal Grichuk led off with a double. Eugenio Suárez, Kevin Newman and Jose Herrera strung together consecutive one-out singles, making it 2-0. Then Geraldo Perdomo pounded a two-run double, opening up a 4-0 Arizona lead.
