The Dodgers starting rotation has acquitted itself quite well so far in May despite suffering several blows. The last trip through was especially effective, starting with Kenta Maeda last Thursday in Miami. Maeda takes the ball in Wednesday night’s rubber game against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium.
Maeda pitched eight scoreless innings against the Marlins in his last start, the second-longest of his career. He allowed only two singles, and retired his final 17 batters faced. Maeda struck out eight and walked none, the seventh time in eight starts he has walked two or fewer.
