Heading into Tuesday night’s game, the cards were stacked against the Dodgers. They were facing a left-handed starting pitcher — they struggle vs left-handers. That lefty was Eric Lauer — Eric Lauer has dominated the Dodgers over his career. And Noah Syndergaard was the starting pitcher for LA — he entered the game with a 6.32 ERA in 6 starts.
Then the cards were stacked higher after Syndergaard was forced to leave the game after one inning due to a cut on his right index finger.
Somehow, the Dodgers pulled off a 6-2 win in Milwaukee.
