Tweets Of The Night: Coors Field Is Weird Again, Dodgers Win 7-4
The Dodgers were back at it tonight against the Colorado Rockies as Ricky Nolasco was on the mound against Jhoulys Chacín. Nolasco has been incredible with the Dodgers as he’s 6-1 with a 2.20 ERA in 10 starts.
Newly acquired infielder Michael Young got his first start with the Dodgers and manager Don Mattingly threw him right into the fire as he’s in the clean-up spot. Absent from the lineup tonight is Yasiel Puig, who had to leave yesterday’s game with an injured knee and Hanley Ramirez.
Hanley received a scheduled day off as Mattingly starts to shuffled starters in and out of the lineup since the Dodgers have a 12.5 game lead with just 25 games left.
While yesterday was a classic Coors Field game, Nolasco will look to rest the bullpen and continue his surge as a Dodger.
Here’s are the tweets of the night.
