Given the current state of the roster, especially with all the pitching injuries, and with two weeks left of a current stretch of 20 games in 20 days, the Dodgers have little choice but to give White more chances, like a lunch rush in a busy restaurant after three servers called in sick. It’s part of the maturation process of a starting pitcher. He’ll get more chances to extend himself, and has generally pitched well enough to earn it. White has allowed three hits and a walk in those scenarios, and three runs. That run was charged to White, who this year has faced a total of five batters the third time through the order, and retired one of them. Vesia nearly escaped the fifth-inning jam fully unscathed, but a two-strike, two-out double from Austin Riley brought home the one remaining bequeathed runner. That temporarily kept a run off the board, and reliever Alex Vesia helped the cause by picking off Acuña at second, though because of the ensuing rundown it was actually Swanson who was out at second with one of the the most hard-luck caught stealings ever. Swanson’s single was a bouncer down the third base line that Justin Turner on which made a fantastic diving stop, one of a handful of solid defensive plays by him this week. #13 and Justin Turner #10 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at second base during the fifth inning at Truist Park on Jin Atlanta, Georgia. singled and stole second base to open the inning, and Dansby Swanson singled to end White’s night after four-plus innings.ĪTLANTA, GA - JUNE 25: Dansby Swanson #7 of the Atlanta Braves is ruled out in a rundown between Ronald Acuna Jr. White kept the Braves at bay until the fifth inning, when he was facing a lineup for the third time in a game for just the second time with the Dodgers this season. Those were the first runs Mitch White allowed since June 1, after three scoreless starts - one in the majors, and two in Triple-A. A pair of hard-hit balls in the third opened the scoring, with Dansby Swanson’s two-run shot his fourth home run in his last four games. Mitch White picked up where he left off in his return to the majors after getting optioned, keeping Atlanta scoreless in the first two innings while working around a pair of walks. With the southpaw Minter on the mound, Dave Roberts stuck with right-handers Thompson and Alberto, and both struck out again for the second consecutive inning.Īnother matchup of a former franchise icon facing his old team came in the ninth, with closer Kanley Jansen making quick work of the Dodgers by striking out all three batters he faced to close it out. They threatened again with a single and stolen base by Turner, only this time it was Justin, the latter his first stolen base of the season.

In the seventh inning, Chris Taylor walked, the first free pass issued by Fried against Los Angeles this season. Trea Turner’s one-out double in the sixth inning was the first Dodgers extra-base hit against Fried this season. But what at the time seemed like only incremental gains grew larger in importance. That counted as progress for the Dodgers, who collected just two hits in seven innings at Dodger Stadium against the left-hander on April 19. In a tie game in the eighth inning that would have normally gone to Daniel Hudson, at least before he tore his ACL on Friday, Brusdar Graterol allowed a double to Travis d’Arnaud and a home run to Marcell Ozuna to his first two batters, giving the Braves the final margin.īraves Max Fried struck out nine in his 6⅔ scoreless innings, allowing just six hits. The back-and-forth affair went Atlanta’s way in this one, a 5-3 win that highlighted the cost of the two most recent pitching injuries for Los Angeles. Braves on Saturday looked very much like the intense playoff atmosphere of the last two Octobers.
