Dodgers’ righty Brandon McCarthy watched his six dominating shutout innings go to waste with futility at the plate and a rare blown save by Kenley Jansen.
From the first inning, McCarthy looked like he was going to have a great night on the mound even if there was a 15-minute delay after he threw just two pitches to his first batter when home plate umpire Dale Scott took a foul tip off his mask and had to be replaced. But nothing could ruffle McCarthy tonight, as he struck out eight Diamondbacks in a very efficient 78 pitches.
