Spring Training Recap: Dodgers Offense Explodes In Win Over Brewers
The Dodgers went down threatened again in the fifth, but were unable to bring home a run. Garcia returned in the bottom of the inning and retired the side in order.
Scott Schebler doubled in the sixth for the only hit that inning. Chris Reed came in for the Dodgers and continued to keep the Brewers hitless with a perfect inning. In the seventh, Darnell Sweeney joined the fun with a home run to left field, making it 9-0.
The no-hitter was broken up in the bottom half on a single by Herrera. Another single and a wild pitch put the Brewers in position to score on a groundout to get them on the board.
Schebler doubled again in the eighth and worked his way home on two sacrifice flies to push the lead to 10-1. Mike Thomas tossed a perfect eighth inning for the Dodgers. The top of the ninth was quiet for Los Angeles.
Steve Smith closed things out for the Dodgers, and the game ended on a diving catch by right fielder Joey Curletta. It would become the second victory of the day for the Dodgers, as they defeated the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch.
Dodgers 2015 Spring Training – A.J. Ellis Talks Preparation
Scott Schebler looks very good at the plate. Glad Pederson is hitting he can use the confidence against Major League pitching even if it is Spring. He has not hit Spring Ball well before. I find it amusing that AJ Ellis is hitting better this Spring than Grandal and with more power. I still think we gave Kemp away for no reason. Grandal did not look good behind the plate the first game. He let a low inside pitch roll behind him. It wasn’t in the dirt simply low but he did not get down fast enough and tried to grab it with his glove. Bad mechanics. Guererro looks very good at the plate. I think he sticks on the club and will be used to give Uribe some rest. So far so good we have some solid youngsters and some of the relief pitching we have seen looks solid. Zack Lee and Reed throwing well now if McCarthy and Anderson can stay healthy we will have a great chance at the post season.Thankfully Baseball is Back Go Blue….
Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. I was watching the Brewers game late last night and fell asleep. Happy to hear our prospects are doing well. Looks like Andre E. isn’t doing to well, wonder what the Dodgers will do? I don’t have any attachment to him so I won’t be bothered if they move him.
You are welcome. I cannot be too sad for Andre E. He is owed 56 Million Dollars. Somehow he and his family will be able to survive I am sure. At the incredible salaries of the entertainers, actors and sports figures I do not have any sympathy as the regular workers wages have stagnated and we are all struggling to make ends meet. So in my opinion Andre needs to suck it up and be the best Teammate he can be, wherever he ends up!
