The Los Angeles Dodgers return home to take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the finale of the exhibition Freeway Series, after the clubs split the first two games.
Making his final tuneup of the preseason is Brandon McCarthy, who was the fifth starter named to the Dodgers’ rotation. McCarthy held off Alex Wood, which has resulted in the left-hander getting placed in the bullpen.
In his previous start against the Cleveland Indians, McCarthy allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits in 4.1 innings. For the spring, McCarthy has pitched to a 4.85 ERA in 13 innings, striking out seven and issuing just one free pass.
