The Los Angeles Dodgers sent out a lineup heavy on right-handed batters to combat Cincinnati Reds starter Amir Garrett, but the southpaw was removed in the second inning after being struck on his throwing hand by an Austin Barnes line drive.
Prior to his removal, Garrett allowed a two-run home run to Justin Turner in his first at-bat off the disabled list. Reds relief pitcher Jake Buchanan walked Logan Forsythe with two outs in the third to load the bases.
Barnes’ high chopper went for an RBI single, and a second run scored on Buchanan’s throwing error.
