Monday saw four close contests among Dodgers minor league affiliates, with the group winning two.
A little rest did A.J. Alexy good. The 19-year-old right-hander, drafted by the Dodgers in the 11th round in 2016, was skipped the last time through Class-A Great Lakes’ rotation. On Monday, he set a professional high with eight strikeouts, allowing just one run on one hit and one walk in 4u2154 innings.
Alexy has a 3.16 ERA in eight starts this season for the Loons, with 33 strikeouts and nine walks in 25u2154 innings.
Max Muncy hit a three-run home run, part of a four-run first inning that Oklahoma City made hold up in a 4-3 road win over the El Paso Chihuahuas (Padres) on Monday afternoon.
