Recap: Joc Pederson, Dodgers Bullpen Game Completes Doubleheader Sweep Of Giants

After leaning on Clayton Kershaw for six innings in the first game, the Los Angeles Dodgers used a bullpen game to again shut out the San Francisco Giants and complete a sweep of the doubleheader with a 2-0 win.

Caleb Ferguson was the designated starter, though he essentially filled the role of an opener that has become popular across the sport. He worked only worked one inning, setting the Giants down in order, before handing the ball over to Victor Gonzalez.

The young lefty shouldered he bulk of the seven innings and like Ferguson, was perfect. Gonzalez struck out the side in the third inning en route to retiring all seven batters faced.
