Dodgers’ successful trip ends with loss and concerns about pitching

LA Times  

Texas Rangers Ezequiel Duran and Brad Miller celebrate behind Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes after scoring during the third inning of the Dodgers’ 8-4 loss Sunday at Globe Life Field. The Dodgers won six of nine games against the Mets, the American League East-leading Orioles and the AL West-leading Rangers, though the trip ended with a thud, Sunday’s 8-4 loss to the Rangers in Globe Life Field that began with Max Muncy’s first-inning grand slam and ended with eight zeros. So there’s a little bit of that, you know, he’s a nice young ballplayer, but there has to be a different switch, a different alter ego, potentially, when you take the mound every fifth day.” The pitcher who possesses that exact alter ego, three-time NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, remains in limbo, the veteran left-hander having not pitched since leaving a June 27 start at Colorado because of a “cranky” shoulder and not expected back until early August. “I still believe the stuff plays when it’s thrown with conviction.” Sunday’s series finale began much like Saturday’s 16-3 shellacking of the Rangers ended, as Mookie Betts opened the game with a double, Freeman singled, Chris Taylor walked and Muncy drove his fifth career grand slam into the right-field seats for a 4-0 lead.
