The professional career for Leonardo Crawford is off to a very nice start. The 18-year-old left-hander started and pitched the first 6u2153 innings of a combined no-hitter by the Dodgers Dominican Summer League team in a 7-0 win over the DSL Mets on Thursday.
Crawford retired the first eight batters of the game before hitting a batter in the third inning. His only other runner allowed to reach base was a walk with one out in the seventh, his final batter of the game. Crawford struck out nine in the win and after his first three professional starts is 3-0 with one unearned run allowed on five hits in 17u2153 innings, with 19 strikeouts and three walks.
