Padres Vs. Dodgers Game Preview: Cody Bellinger Slides To First Base
Just like last week’s meeting at Petco Park, the Los Angeles Dodgers dropped the series opener to the San Diego Padres and turn to a right-hander to reverse their fortunes.
Dustin May held the honor in the previous case, and it now goes to Ross Stripling. Like with May on Monday, the start is Stripling’s second consecutive outing facing the Padres. He was stung by the long ball in San Diego, allowing four home runs on six hits in 5.2 innings.
Stripling did finish his night with a season-high tying seven strikeouts. “Really, really happy with the way I threw. I thought the ball was coming out well, I thought I held my stuff deep into those innings,” he said after the game.
