LAKE ELSINORE – Brandon McCarthy felt like it was the first day of spring training Saturday night, and that was a good thing.
The 6-foot, 7-inch rehabbing Dodgers right-hander reported no problems in his first game action in almost 14 months, as he allowed one run in two innings for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in their 7-4 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm on Saturday night at The Diamond.
McCarthy, 32, is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and though he’s pitched batting practice, bullpens and simulated games, Saturday marked his first appearance since exiting his start against the Padres on April 25, 2015.
