Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill retook the mound last night after missing nearly three months of action with a series of injuries. After struggling with a forearm issue early in 2019, a balky knee complicated his rehab process and, as a result, the 39-year-old made on Tuesday what was only his 11th appearance of the year on a cool September night in San Diego.
Though he got off to a shaky start in the first inning, Hill settled in nicely once he found his command. His signature curve whipped through the zone with authority, and his 90 mph fastball showed late life to both sides of the plate.
