Dodgers farm teams ran into some offensive woes on Tuesday, though a first baseman powered up in Nebraska, the Quakes scored enough for free tacos, and a rehabbing pitcher had his best start since returning from surgery.
Player of the day
Ross Stripling took the loss on Tuesday night, but had hit best start yet since returning from Tommy John surgery. Stripling struck out four and walked none in his six innings, allowing one run while scattering seven singles and a double.
Stripling, 25, has 25 strikeouts and 10 walks in his 27 innings with Double-A Tulsa, a 22.
