This is something we talked about more than once during spring training and then again after his debut, but it bears repeating after Shu014dta Imanaga dominated one of the most feared lineups in the game. He got 20 whiffs against a less robust Rockies roster during the home opener, relying on the fastball for five of them. Though he got just seven swings and misses over a rain-shortened outing on Sunday, six came on the four-seam.
The lefty struck out three and kept the Dodgers off the board with just two hits and no walks to keep his ERA at zero.
