LOS ANGELES -- Four weeks ago when the Dodgers faced Giants left-hander Matt Moore, he nearly pitched a no-hitter. Corey Seager got the Dodgers' only hit that night with two outs in the ninth inning.
The Dodgers' struggles against left-handed pitching has only gotten worse. Over their past 12 games, they have gone 16 for 125 (.128) with 45 strikeouts against an assortment of left-handers.
"Looking at (Robbie) Ray in Arizona, we had some good at-bats and got to him," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "(Madison) Bumgarner was very good.
"I think we understand what he (Moore) is going to do, how he's going to approach us.
