Wood makes Game 3 case with strong outing

Wood pitched six shutout innings before surrendering a pair of runs in the seventh inning. He departed after just 88 pitches and he's been under 100 pitches in each of his last six starts.

10/2/15: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly discusses Alex Wood's outing in the team's 6-2 win over the Padres and Zack Greinke's start tomorrow

"His fastball command has been really strong the last three outings," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "He's a tough matchup for lefties and righties because he's unorthodox and he can mix really well."

The Dodgers' other option for a Game Three start would be fellow left-hander Brett Anderson.
