May, still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, was removed after 69 pitches, then three Dodgers relievers closed out a two-hit shutout of the Giants in a 5-0 victory.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Dustin May who gave up 10 runs over 10 innings in his previous two starts was a cautionary tale about expecting too much from a pitcher coming off Tommy John surgery.
“After the way the last two went, it was a good spot to come out and I feel good going into the next one,” May said, unaware that he had a no-hitter going while he was in the game.The bid for a combined no-hitter ended with two outs in the sixth inning when the Giants’ No. 9 hitter, Luis Gonzalez, dribbled a ground ball at 53.9 mph toward second baseman Chris Taylor, beating it out for an infield single.
Then after the game, Roberts revealed that May’s start had been pushed back not just because of the off day Thursday or the insertion of Michael Grove as a sixth starter on Wednesday. May experienced some “arm soreness” after his start in San Diego last weekend and was given six days’ rest before Friday’s start in San Francisco.
“I think they were high as far as ultimately where we’re going to get,” Roberts said. “But I know internally it was not something where we just thought he was going to dominate from the get-go. We have to appreciate what he’s gone through in the last, call it, 14, 16 months. The only baserunner May allowed was a walk of Brandon Craword in the second inning. He was immediately erased when Thairo Estrada grounded into a double play. May struck out four of the next six Giants batters, finishing off Joey Bart and Gonzalez with 100-mph third strikes.
