Recap: Brandon McCarthy Goes Less Than 4 Innings in 7-3 Loss To Rockies

The Dodgers started their 3-game series with the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday with a few new faces in the clubhouse! New Outfielder Josh Reddick got the start and new reliever Jesse Chavez made an appearance out of the bullpen! Unfortunately, Rich Hill was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a blister on his finger.

Let’s take a look at the highlights!

The game was interrupted almost immediately thanks to a rain delay.

After the rain settled, the game would resume and be fairly slow up until the bottom of the 3rd when the Rockies would get on the board, making it 1-0.
