The theme for Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium was starting out slow, then waiting patiently for things to turn around. It worked for the Dodgers offense, and worked wonders for Rich Hill, who delivered his best start of the season in the Dodgers’ 8-2 win over the Mets.
The win was the Dodgers’ sixth consecutive victory, matching their season high. They had two other six-game winning streaks in 2017, and all three streaks have come in the last 26 games, during which the Dodgers are 20-6.
Rich Hill has struggled mightily this season, and the way things started on Wednesday it looked like those struggles would continue.
