In splitting their opening four-game series against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers showed some good and bad signs.
Noah Syndergaard might no longer throw 100 mph, but the veteran pitcher was impressive in his Dodgers debut against Arizona on Sunday.
“I don’t know about weaknesses yet,” Roberts said after Sunday’s finale defeat. “I still like our lineup. I just think there’s a few guys that haven’t gotten on track yet.”High: Rookies Miguel Vargas, James Outman settle in quicklyIn 13 trips to the plate this season, the team’s new starting second baseman has drawn an MLB-high eight.James Outman, right, is greeted by Miguel Vargas after hitting a two-run home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
While Vargas went two for five with his eight walks — reaching safely in seven straight plate appearances at one point during the series — Outman showed his own growth from his brief debut last year, going two for seven with three walks and two RBIs highlighted by his first home run at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night.
Muncy, who was expected to rebound from last year’s injury-plagued campaign, went one for 13 with seven strikeouts . The weekend didn’t finish flawlessly for Smith. He struck out in two other key spots, and bobbled the ball while trying to throw out Corbin Carroll on back-to-back steals. On Friday, it was Alex Vesia who faltered against a string of right-handed pinch-hitters, giving up a one-run lead on a two-run homer by Kyle Lewis in the eighth inning. On Sunday, Brusdar Graterol couldn’t keep a ninth-inning tie intact, retiring just two of the six batters he faced and booting a tricky bunt that scored the winning run.
