Rangers Vs. Dodgers Game Preview: Andy Burns Makes Team Debut
After routing the Texas Rangers on Friday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to extend their winning streak to five games and take another series.
Trevor Bauer takes the mound in his 14th start of the season and he’ll work to improve upon his most recent outing against the Atlanta Braves. Through six innings his last time out, Bauer allowed three runs on a season-high six hits. He tied a season high with four walks.
The big topic of discussion following Bauer’s outing against the Braves was the spin rate on his fastball. Entering the game, Bauer’s fastball spin rate had averaged 2,835 rpm on the year. In Atlanta, however, that average fell to 2,612.
