LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers push that rock up the hill again on Friday night, battling the Reds in the second game of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium.
In the series opener on Thursday the Dodgers failed to tally an extra-base hit for just the third time this season (the other two were the back-to-back 1-0 losses to San Francisco to open the season). They managed just one run despite numerous opportunities against starter Tyler Mahle, who needed 85 pitches to get through the first three innings but managed to get through five innings for the win anyway.
