Recap: Adrian Gonzalez Homers in 7-2 Victory Over Cardinals
On Saturday, the Dodgers looked to get their first win of the series with Kenta Maeda taking the mound. Yasiel Puig would not get the start due to his lingering hamstring tightness, giving Toles the chance to start in right field!
Let’s take a look at the highlights!

The game would be fairly quiet up until the top of the 3rd when the Dodgers would strike first thanks to some small ball! But first, Kendrick would extend his hitting streak to 15 games in the top of the 2nd!

Toles beats out a Greg Garcia throw from 2nd for an infield single. His speed has helped ever since Puig went down…

Stripling would make his major league return in the bottom of the 8th and do amazing!
And here is the absolute freshest arm out of the bullpen — Ross Stripling. Stripling last appeared in a big league game on May 22.

A 1-2-3 eighth inning for @RossStripling! ?
