In their first split-squad action of 2019 Spring Training, the Los Angeles Dodgers dropped a road affair to the Cleveland Indians, 8-4, not long after also losing to the San Diego Padres at Camelback Ranch.
The Dodgers took a lead in the second inning, only for the Indians to respond with seven unanswered runs. Of course, results of games aren’t at the forefront of team’s minds as players continue to ramp up for the regular season.
With that, Ross Stripling made his first start of the year and fared well. Stripling allowed a pair of singles but worked a 1-2-3 second inning and finished with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings.
