Daniel Lynch battled over five shutout innings, giving up just two hits with four walks, but it was the bullpen that gave up all the runs in an 8-3 loss to the Dodgers Friday night.
Lynch faced just three hitters over the minimum over the first four innings of the game, but ran into some trouble in the fifth. Hanser Alberto reached base on an error, and Trayce Thompson doubled him to third. Mookie Betts walked to load the bases to set up the heart of the order with no outs. But Lynch showed some moxie, getting Trea Turner to foul out and striking out Freddie Freeman.
