Rookie pitcher gives up seven runs in two innings and Dodgers lose 11-10 despite two home runs from Chris Taylor and a three-hit day from Trayce Thompson.
Rookie pitcher Gavin Stone struggles early and exits after two innings as the Dodgers fail to keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays in an 11-10 loss at Tropicana Field on Sunday.
Manager Dave Roberts offered no guarantee about Stone starting on the upcoming homestand, when he would be lined up to face another powerhouse lineup in the New York Yankees. “Given how today went, it’s prudent to just reassess and make sure that whatever we do is best for Gavin and best for us,” Roberts said, noting that fellow rookie“We’ll all get together and figure out the best course of action,” Roberts added. “Because I think, like most things, you could debate either way. So that’s what we’ll have to figure out.”
The Dodgers evened the score twice more, staging a four-run rally in the third to make it 7-7, then riding solo home runs from Thompson, J.D. Martinez and Taylor in the fifth and sixth innings to knot the score at 10-10.Former Dodger Luke Raley beat reliever Victor González to the bag on a ground ball to first to begin the inning. He later advanced to third and scored on a grounder, sending the Rays to a marquee series win and the Dodgers to a 4-6 record on their 10-game trip.
