Blake Snell allowed three earned runs, three walks, and three hits while recording eight strikeouts over 5.1 innings in the Dodgers' loss to the Diamondbacks. His four-seam fastball averaged 93.7 mph, down from 95.2 mph the prior week. Snell and his wife welcomed their second child last week, creating a busy week that affected his throwing and sleep schedules. The Dodgers managed only three hits and no runs, providing minimal support for the pitcher. The reduced velocity and limited offensive production combined to produce the defeat, and the team shifts focus to the next game.
Blake was fine. It's been a weird week for him just having the baby and kind of trying to readjust and the throwing schedule, the sleep schedule, all that stuff,
I'm not worried about (the diminished velocity). I know what's going on. So it'll come back. I'm zero worried about it. I mean, I was aware of it. But I'm not gonna push it. It is what it is. It's what I had today. Just gotta be better.
He just didn't have a whole lot in the tank tonight.
