Dustin May had his finest start since returning from Tommy John surgery, throwing five hitless innings in the Dodgers' 5-0 win over the Giants on Friday.
gave up an infield single to Luis González on a slow roller to second with two outs in the sixth, ending the Dodgers’ ninth no-hit bid this year to go beyond five innings.
With the Dodgers holding an early four-run lead after knocking around Giants right-hander Logan Webb — including a three-run rally in the fourth that Roberts called “one of the best offensive innings we’ve had” — the manager considered keeping May in for another inning. Indeed, May’s performance Friday was a much-needed reversal for a pitcher who had been trending in the wrong direction the last few weeks.
After giving up just two runs in his first two starts back, both against the Miami Marlins, May looked shakier in his last two outings against the San Diego Padres.His control was all over the place. Defensive mistakes at times seemed to contribute to mounting frustration. And a pitcher the Dodgers had been counting on to contribute in the postseason seemed far from peak October form.
