A superb spring in which he pitched well enough to win the Dodgers’ fifth rotation spot ended on a bit of a sour note for Gavin Stone on Monday night.
The right-hander was roughed up for four runs and four hits in 4 u2153 innings of a 6-0 Freeway Series exhibition loss to the Angels in Dodger Stadium. The three-game series will conclude with a 6 p.m. game in Angel Stadium on Tuesday .
Stone, who went 3-0 with an 0.93 ERA in his first four Cactus League games, giving up one earned run and five hits in 9 u2154 innings with nine strikeouts and one walk, retired the first five hitters he faced before issuing a two-out walk to Nolan Schanuel and a 116-mph single to center field off the bat of Miguel Sano in the second.
