Friday night was another loss in a long line of frustration coming from the Dodgers this season. The pitching, especially the bullpen, has been uncharacteristically poor and has caused the team to drop quite a few games that they should have won. However, the story of the game wasn’t just the team blowing a 4-0 lead to the rival San Francisco Giants but rather, the story of how rookie pitcher Emmet Sheehan shut down San Francisco while making his Major League debut.
Sheehan looked special on the mound Friday night, going six no-hit, shutout innings and allowing just two walks while striking out three.
