Dodgers pitcher Chin-Hui Tsao went 12 seasons between hits, from 2003 until 2015. That isn’t a major league record, but it’s close to the top five:
2. Joe Cicero 15 (1930–1945)
4. Ralph Winegarner 13 (1936–1949)
ATLANTA >> If you’re a struggling pitcher with a minor-league option in your contract, long postgame meetings with the manager rarely bode well. Such was the case for Brandon Beachy, who was ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for outfielder Carl Crawford.
Crawford was officially activated from the 60-day disabled list Tuesday. His pinch-running appearance in the Dodgers’ 4-3 loss to the Braves, followed by an inning in left field, was his first major league game action since April.
