11 May
Summary
- Justin Wrobleski pitched 8 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs.
- The Dodgers recorded only two hits in the game.
- The team's offense has been inconsistent this season.
Justin Wrobleski pitched a career-high 8 2/3 innings on Sunday, giving up seven runs in a 7-2 defeat to the Braves. Despite allowing a season-high seven runs, Wrobleski provided the Dodgers with significant length after the bullpen was taxed.
The southpaw surrendered four runs in the second inning but settled in, retiring 15 consecutive batters. He gave up two solo home runs in the eighth and ninth innings before being pulled with two outs in the ninth, having thrown 100 pitches.
Wrobleski became the first pitcher since 2006 to allow seven or more runs while pitching at least 8 2/3 innings. The Dodgers recorded only two hits in the game, with their only runs coming on a late two-run homer. This offensive struggle is emblematic of their season, characterized by streaky hitting.
