The Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation received a boost on Wednesday with the return of Tony Gonsolin, who made his 2021 debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates after missing the first two months of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation.
While some rust was to be expected, the outing nonetheless did not go Gonsolin’s way as he lasted only 1.2 innings and walked a career-high five batters. The right-hander threw 66 pitches and allowed one run on two hits with four strikeouts.
“Definitely not the way I wanted it to go,” Gonsolin said after the game.
