Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Joc Pederson was substituted in the eighth inning of Monday's 9-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies because he didn't run out a groundball, manager Dave Roberts said.
Pederson grounded out in the eighth to score catcher Will Smith. Tyler White replaced him at first in the bottom of the inning.
"I think there's a certain way to play the game. I didn't see the effort there," Roberts said.
