LOS ANGELES -- Kenta Maeda wandered into uncharted waters on Sunday, but found mostly smooth sailing later on in the Dodgers' 3-1 win over the Giants on Sunday night to capture their weekend series at Dodger Stadium.
Maeda pitched into the seventh inning for the first time in the majors after a pair of six-inning starts, though that hardly seemed feasible after a 24-pitch, two-walk first inning that saw him throw more balls (13) than strikes (11).
He settled down after that, even extending his scoreless streak to start his career to 14 innings.
