ATLANTA (AP) — Knowing the Braves are sometimes vulnerable to off-speed pitches, Mike Bolsinger was pleased that his curveball and slider caused problems all afternoon.
It got so frustrating for Atlanta that some of the Braves were yelling from their dugout that the right-hander for the Los Angeles Dodgers wasn't bold enough to use his fastball.
"I guess I was throwing too many curveballs," Bolsinger said with a grin. "But I mean if you're showing me you're not hitting the pitch, why would I go to something else?"
Bolsinger pitched seven strong innings and the Dodgers scored three runs in the fifth inning to beat Atlanta 3-1 on Wednesday.
