The scream erupted from Rich Hill just as the line drive raced into the outfield. He had recorded 17 outs without allowing a hit, and while his escalating pitch count made a bid for history seem unlikely, the single by Padres veteran Alexei Ramirez still chafed him. On Saturday, in a 5-1 victory, there was little else for Hill to get upset about.
In his second start as a Dodger, Hill replicated a simulacrum of his debut on Aug. 24 against San Francisco. He twirled six more scoreless innings, striking out eight alone the way.
