The Dodgers needed a deep outing out of Bud Norris. Long man Chris Hatcher hit the DL before the game and Julio Urias will start tomorrow’s game. With a seven-man bullpen, they needed Norris to eat up some innings today.
It started well enough as Norris got two quick outs. Daniel Murphy poked a two-out double to left, and then Bryce Harper hit a baseball a very long way.
Literally the first pitch of the game i saw.
