Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone struggled through another start and the team's hitters couldn't help, sealing a 6-5 road loss to the Athletics Friday.
What was once a breakout rookie season for Gavin Stone is starting to break down in ominous fashion. The once-burgeoning right-hander is no longer collecting strikeouts like he once did. He’s no longer limiting contact as he was earlier this season. And, after once appearing a safe bet to make starts come the postseason, he’s no longer looking like a reliable member of the Dodgers’ unsettled rotation, either.
Freddie Freeman also remains away from the team on the family emergency list. Roberts said Friday he does not expect Freeman to rejoin the club this weekend, but noted that the first baseman has been staying active and swinging a bat since leaving the team last week. Even the Dodgers’ healthy players, however, have gone missing. Shohei Ohtani is hitless in his last 15 at-bats, including an inning-ending ground out with the bases loaded in the seventh inning Friday.
