Dustin May stellar in Dodgers’ win over A’s

LA Times  

Dodgers pitcher Dustin May throws against the Oakland Athletics during the sixth inning in Oakland on Monday. Dodgers pitcher Dustin May’s biggest challenge on a chilly 54-degree Monday evening in the Oakland Coliseum wasn’t the opposing lineup. It was trying to stay warm and loose while his teammates used their keen batting eyes to push Athletics starter Frankie Montas’ pitch count to 90 in the first three innings, a patient approach that helped the Dodgers build an early seven-run lead en route to an eventual 10-3 victory. Then in the top of the ninth, with the Dodgers holding a commanding 10-3 lead, Cody Bellinger got clipped on the left ankle by A’s reliever Reymin Guduan while lunging for the first base bag on an infield single to first base. Ring ceremony highlights weekend The Dodgers will receive their World Series rings and raise their championship banner before Friday’s home opener against the Washington Nationals, but the weekend’s pregame events won’t end there.
