Dodgers news ...
The Dodgers lost to the Angels last night, featuring a bullpen implosion. You can read the TBLA game recap here.
On the opposite side of pitching, the Dodgers starting rotation is one for the ages. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale takes a look at how the five starters are the best in the business.
The beauty of the Dodgers rotation is its diversity. No one pitches alike. Buehler can throw a 98-mph fastball past you whenever he desires. Kershaw buckles hitters with his curveball and slider. Ryu masters the strike zone like Greg Maddux. Maeda dazzles hitters with his changeup. And Hill fries hitters’ brains with an assortment of any pitch at any time
The Dodgers are atop the MLB Power Rankings. No surprise here.
