The last thing the Dodgers needed was another injury to a key arm in the bullpen, but that’s exactly where LA found themselves in the eighth inning of a 5-2 game against the Cubs on Thursday night. After inducing a groundout against Yan Gomes for the first out, flame-thrower Brusdar Graterol appeared to pull something on his right side.
Graterol exited the game with right side soreness, and Phil Bickford came in and logged the final two outs of the inning to send the Cubs down in order.
That wasn’t the only drama on the night either.
