Rich Hill felt he’d found an answer to establishing a rhythm in his start last week against the Cincinnati Reds, but that largely was nowhere to be found in a laborious and short start in the Los Angeles Dodgers loss to the Cleveland Indians.
Hill threw 40 pitches and was in a 3-0 deficit by the time the first inning came to an end. The Indians opened the game with a trio of consecutive singles. A hit by pitch loaded the bases, a jam Hill nearly worked his way out of.
But he walked in a run and saw another score on an infield single.
