Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. The boys did not play their best game today but locked in when it counted.
The game started off poorly for Kikuchi, giving up a lead-off monster shot to Taylor Ward. However, he managed to bounce back and give up no runs for the rest of the outing. He did not have his best stuff, but he still struck out nine and only walked one.
The offense was pedestrian tonight, but they took advantage of some bad defense by LA. In the bottom of the fourth, Diaz reached on a throwing error.
