PITTSBURGH -- Perhaps it was fitting that the newest Dodger, Nick Tepesch, made his debut with his new club in the shadow of the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
Spanning a distance from here to there is exactly what Tepesch is being asked to do. More specifically, he got the call to bridge the distance from Mike Bolsinger's last start, before he was sent down last weekend, to the return, in two weeks or more, of guys like Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Consider this catwalk still under construction after Tepesch lasted just four innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing five runs on seven hits.
