The Los Angeles Dodgers depth has afforded them with the luxury of temporarily replacing Rich Hill in the starting rotation with Alex Wood. While Wood had pitched admirably thus far, both in relief and two spot starts, his outing Wednesday night at AT&T Park was Wood’s best of the season.
He struck out four of the first six batters faced, and held the San Francisco Giants without a hit for five innings. Wood lost a perfect game on a Brandon Belt walk with one out in the fourth inning. Drew Stubbs’ leadoff single broke up Wood’s no-hit bid.
