Only three real pitchers did not give up runs: Shohei Ohtani, who was electric, Alex Vesia, who pitched an inning and a third, and Jack Little, pitching in his second major league game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hitting Analysis:<\/span><\/strong> Dodger Catchers went 6 for 10, so that\u2019s good. Mookie Betts went 4 for 12, showing strong signs of breaking out of his season-long slump.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Takeaway for the Weekend:<\/span><\/strong> No matter what happens, we will never forgive the Trashtros for 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Next Series\u2019 Preview<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Matchups:<\/span><\/strong> The Dodgers travel to the land of Cheese to take on the Brewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Analysis:<\/span><\/strong> The Brewers are second in the NL Central and second in the NL Wild Card, and are formidable at home. They are a top 10 team in home wins and runs scored, but have less quality starts than the Dodgers\u2019 rotation.<\/p>\n<p>What to Look For: Betts and Freeman had solid weeks last week, so hopefully they can continue to hit heading into the All Star Break.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Those Deferred BenchWarmers Since we are technically closer to fans than actual media, we can and will refuse to write about Houston, so this is going to be short and sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11059],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baseball-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=90703"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90705,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90703\/revisions\/90705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=90703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=90703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=90703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
