LOS ANGELES – It was the Dodgers’ bullpen that needed some relief.
The group began Saturday having thrown five innings in each of the last two games. Plus, spanning the last seven days, it was used for a total of 252/3 innings, a workload that was the fourth biggest in the National League.
So it did not help that Mike Bolsinger was pulled from his start in the third inning after allowing nine hits and five runs. The Dodgers’ relief pitchers were on the hook for six-plus innings.
Yet the Dodgers appeared on track for a second straight win after leading Milwaukee, 10-6, through seven innings.
