LOS ANGELES -- With a four-run lead in the ninth inning on Friday night, the Dodgers turned to rookie Adam Liberatore to finish out the game, the same day he joined the team for his major league debut.
"I was a little eratic at first, but I just tried to slow myself down and not walk anyone," Liberatore said after the game.
The left-hander accomplished his goal, not only not walking anyone but also pitching a perfect inning. He got Corey Dickerson to ground out, Drew Stubbs to fly out, then struck out pinch hitter Michael McKenry to close out the win.
