MIAMI (SportsDirect Inc.) — Rich Hill appears to be fully recovered from the blister issues that sidelined him for more than a month and delayed his entry into the Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation.
Hill carries a 12-inning scoreless streak into Saturday’s start as the Dodgers look to even their three-game series against the host Miami Marlins.
The Marlins are trying to hang in the playoff chase, winning two in a row following a disastrous 1-10 slide. Miami is one game below .500 but owns a 5-0 mark against National League West-leading Los Angeles after snapping the Dodgers’ five-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory in the series opener.
