Dustin May endured expected growing pains as his MLB debut was spoiled in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-2 loss to the San Diego Padres.
May ended each of his first two innings with a double play but then saw his pitch count begin to rise. That wasn’t aided by Tyler White’s throwing error in the second inning leading to an unearned run that gave the Padres a lead.
While it appeared he potentially wouldn’t be long for the game, May managed to find his command and become more efficient. He retired the side in order in the third and fourth innings and worked around consecutive one-out singles in the fifth.
