Dave Roberts provided updates on Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler before the Dodgers' sweep of the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
All wins are created equal in baseball. You don’t get extra points for beating a great team or a deduction for beating a weak one. But had the Dodgers lost even one game to a club with a major league-worst 30-80 record, it would have felt like a huge disappointment, a lost opportunity.
Tyler Soderstrom homered for the A’s in the eighth, but Freeman, who has a major league-leading 40 doubles, hit a solo homer to right, his 21st, for a 7-2 lead. Chris Taylor added an RBI single in the inning. So it was not surprising when Urías was pulled despite throwing only 68 pitches. His average fastball velocity of 91.5 mph was down from his 92.8 season average, and he induced only three swinging strikes. But Urias, who is 8-6 with a 4.69 ERA in a season marred by injury and inconsistency, did strike out the side in the fifth.
There were two developments before Thursday’s game that could have huge ramifications for the Dodgers’ injury-ravaged rotation in August and September.
