"Blake Snell gets his second start back from injury after a very typically first-half-Snell season debut. Snell got the ball against Atlanta and needed 77 pitches to get through three innings, allowing six hits and four earned runs (one unearned). Snell forced a ton of weak contact, with an average exit velocity of 80.5 MPH on 11 balls put in play. He allowed six singles, four of which had exit velocities under 76 MPH. Snell also generated a game-high 16 whiffs."
Dodgers finished a difficult homestand by winning the final two games against the Giants to split the series. After a 12-run outburst in Houston, the Dodgers scored 12 runs across the first five homestand games, then improved with a 4-0 win and a 5-2 win. They next travel to Anaheim for a three-game weekend series before visiting San Diego and Milwaukee. The Angels hold the worst record in baseball after falling from a strong start, with offense near league average but a 25.8% strikeout rate that ranks last. Their 4.60 team ERA ranks sixth-worst, including a 5.27 bullpen ERA that ranks third-worst. Jose Soriano, with a 1.66 ERA, is scheduled to start tomorrow. Blake Snell returns from injury for his second start, following a short, rough outing against Atlanta.
