Kenta Maeda takes the mound for the Dodgers tonight, hoping to help them avoid a mile-high sweep. This will be Maeda’s second Major League start at Coors Field. His first was one of his finest pitching performances of the year. On April 23rd, Maeda delivered six and one-third shutout innings in Colorado, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight.
Maeda had another very good outing against Colorado in Los Angeles in June, allowing just one run through six and two-thirds innings. However, the Dodgers offense couldn’t muster anything to support him in that game.
