Los Angeles, CA — The game was a flat-out pitching duel. There weren’t many who thought Chris Rusin could win a pitcher’s duel, yet he did it Wednesday in the Colorado Rockies 1-0 win. Rusin exploited match ups, managing to dig himself out of trouble with smart and effective pitching out-dueling the Dodgers in L.A.
Kenta Maeda has been exceeding expectations for the Dodgers this season, and he continued his fine work against the Rockies in this game. The Japanese import went 6 and two-thirds innings strong, and it wasn’t until the seventh inning that he ran into some trouble.
