The Dodgers were dominant at long last on Thursday afternoon in Cincinnati, riding a pair of 3-run innings and a shutdown performance on the mound from Clayton Kershaw to a 6-0 win on getaway day.
Next on the slate is a trip to the City of Brotherly Love to play three against the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend, with Julio Urias slated to return to the rotation following a stint on the injured list.
But with one ailing Dodger set to head back to the mound, there’s fresh concern over one of his teammates in catcher Austin Barnes, who left the series finale in the 9th inning after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand.
