Despite a quick turnaround, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praises his newest southpaw reliever after his 2024 debut.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been aggressive in re-tooling their bullpen on the fly this season as injuries and workload management dictate. Friday, they reached outside the organization to acquire southpaw reliever Anthony Banda from the Cleveland Guardians.
Banda pitched only the 10th inning of a 2-2 game. With speedy star Elly De La Cruz on second base, Banda only needed nine pitches — seven strikes — to retire the Reds' 3-4-5 hitters, Mike Ford, Jeimer Candelario and Jake Fraley.
