Dodgers Starter
Brandon McCarthy wasn’t a sure thing to start today’s game earlier this week, as he took extra bullpen sessions to figure out why he was struggling to locate pitches. He had been wild in his last two starts and tried to work through it with extra practice.
McCarthy struggled again with his command in today’s game. He labored through the first inning and didn’t give up a hit, but walked three batters and hit a batter.
