Trevor Bauer’s first start in Chavez Ravine as a Dodger was nearly flawless Tuesday night with the exception of one throw to first base that — had it just been “a little more accurate” — might have turned his evening from memorable to historic.
The self-proclaimed “nerdy” kid from Santa Clarita who grew up attending Dodgers games with his father was dominant in a 7-0 win over the Colorado Rockies, giving up one hit, striking out nine and walking two in seven innings, his only blemish a dribbler that Garrett Hampson beat out for a third-inning single.
