Dodgers eager for big test, emotional reunions against Braves after sweeping Reds
A seven-run outburst in the fourth inning coupled with a strong start by Andrew Heaney carried the Dodgers to a 9-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.Walker Buehler — 10 2/3 innings, four earned runs, nine strikeouts, five walks.— Seven innings, three earned runs, five strikeouts, three walks. — Seven innings, 0 earned runs, 13 strikeouts, 0 walks.Heaney’s success so far can be traced to a breakthrough bullpen session in Denver during the opening weekend.
On Sunday, Heaney threw the slider almost half the time. It accounted for eight of his strikeouts and generated a whiff on 14 of 22 swings. “I can keep guys off the heater with that and vice versa,” Heaney said. “I think the two play off each other really well.” Another Dodgers pitcher who benefited this past weekend from a recent bullpen session: Urías, who bounced back from his rough season debut with five scoreless innings Saturday night thanks in large part to adjustments he made during his between-starts side session.“Obviously, with the short spring and my last start, we felt that it was important for us to make some adjustments,” Urías said in Spanish.
