Michael Grove rocked by Reds to cap dismal month for Dodgers starting pitchers
LA TimesDodgers starting pitcher Michael Grove delivers during the first inning of a 9-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. On the plus side, the Dodgers are off Monday, the final day of July, so their starting pitchers won’t have to suffer another indignity like the one they endured Sunday, when rookie right-hander Michael Grove was rocked for eight runs and 10 hits — three of them homers — in six innings of a 9-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in Chavez Ravine. “We’re obviously excited to have Lance here,” catcher Will Smith said, “and Clayton Kershaw coming back and starting every five days can’t hurt.” The Dodgers also have one more day before Tuesday’s trade deadline to add a starter, but several potential options, including Max Scherzer, Lucas Giolito and Jordan Montgomery, have come off the board. Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw walks on the field at Dodger Stadium before Sunday’s game against the Reds.
