Brandon McCarthy‘s last major league game was on April 25th, 2015. He allowed six runs on six hits to the Padres and surrendered three home runs. He only made four starts the year after signing his four year contract. His strikeout rate was sky-high, but he also allowed nine homers over that span. Fourteen months later, he’s back in Dodger blue, taking the ball as the Dodgers attempt to sweep the Rockies. Nobody really knows what to expect from McCarthy, but it will be good to see him back on the mound. The Dodgers will certainly be hoping for the 2014 Yankees version of McCarthy, not the 2014 Diamondbacks version.
