The Dodgers had their six-game winning streak ended last night in blowout fashion, and they looked to bounce back on the road against the Reds. They did so thanks to the pitching AND offensive effort of one Alex Wood to get the 3-1 victory.
Not bad for the worst trade in Dodger history.
——
Alex Wood gave the Dodgers one of the best starts of the season by anybody, going eight innings on 89 pitches, striking out five batters and walking none, giving up just four hits. Unfortunately, one of those hits came in the eighth and was a homer by Devin Mesoraco to breakup the shutout, but the powerful Reds lineup basically had no chance tonight.
