LOS ANGELES — Adbert Alzolay’s development as a starting pitcher has gone relatively smoothly considering it’s his first season starting and has been one of the team’s most consistent starters.
But Alzolay struggled to find his command early in Sunday’s 7-1 loss to the Dodgers as the Cubs’ young right-hander had a second inning to forget in LA.
One of the things that has made Alzolay successful during his rookie season has been his ability to throw strikes and not letting walks and a lack of command beat him. ,but even against a team notorious for working counts, Alzolay was clearly off.
