The Dodgers’ early season road trip east continues tonight north of the border when they take the field in Toronto against the Blue Jays (4-5). Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Jays and Justin Wrobleski gets the ball for Los Angeles.
After a slow start to the season offensively, Los Angeles got their bats going in our nation’s capital over the weekend scoring 31 runs in a three-game sweep of the Nationals. Freddie Freeman drove in six runs. Shohei Ohtani picked up two hits in each of the three games and scored a run in each game. Kyle Tucker was 5-10 against the Nationals after going 4-23 previously.
Toronto’s offense is as cold as the Dodgers’ is hot. The Jays scored just seven runs in three games against the Chicago White Sox this weekend. Yesterday, Toronto managed just six hits and nine baserunners against Davis Martin and three Sox relievers in a 3-0 loss. The list of those struggling are headlined by George Springer who is two for his last 16, Addison Barger who has one hit in his last 19 ABs, and after a torrid start, Andres Gimenez who has reached base twice (one hit, one walk) in his last 15 trips to the plate.
Lets dive into tonight’s matchup and the opener of this three-game series and find a sweat or two.
