Lance Lynn's struggles continued after giving up three home runs and charged with two more runs after departing in the Dodgers' 11-4 loss to the Marlins.
In his last two starts, including Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins, Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has seen the velocity on his fastball dive.And suddenly, during his pregame media scrum hours before first pitch, manager Dave Roberts was contemplating Lynn’s potential role on the playoff roster, leaving open the possibility for the veteran to either start games or pitch bulk innings out of the bullpen.
No. 9 hitter Joey Wendle started the onslaught with a two-run homer, turning around an elevated fastball on a line drive to right. After a couple walks, Jazz Chisholm Jr. broke the inning open with a three-run moonshot to left. Two batters later, Jesús Sánchez added a solo blast for good measure. Lynn is now averaging 2.5 home runs per nine innings with the Dodgers, an unthinkable increase from his 2.1 mark with the White Sox.
And since that strong four-game introduction, he has quickly backslid in three outings since, finishing Thursday with a 10.80 ERA over that span.
