Coming off a 12-game winning streak, the Dodgers have now lost two out of three after dropping an 11-inning heartbreaker last night to the Brewers. Today, they send Tony Gonsolin to the mound to try to get back to their winning ways. Standing on the other side is Eric Lauer, whose main defining characteristic as a baseball player is “pitches well against the Dodgers.”
After three straight uninspiring starts, Gonsolin has bounced back with two excellent games, throwing five shutout innings against the Padres and then 6.2 innings of one-run ball against the Royals. He’s currently 14-1 with a 2.
