The Los Angeles Dodgers face pitching challenges, necessitating standout performances from Dustin May and healthy rotation members. With Yoshinobu Yamamoto excelling, May has had nine starts this season after overcoming injuries. His latest performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks showcased significant progress, achieving a career-high in whiffs. May's ability to establish his fastball and rely on his sweeper helped him dominate a challenging lineup. Reflecting on his outing, he expressed satisfaction in giving the bullpen a much-needed break and contributing to a team victory, highlighting improved physical condition.
"I was able to establish the fastball early. The sweeper was going in and out, was being able to land it when I needed to. I was getting ahead of guys and they were getting themselves out. So it was good."
"I mean, it's always good to go out and give the guys in the bullpen a break. Being able to go six is huge. Being able to keep a few runs off the board is always good, too. And then Teo came up huge and hit a three-run homer. Played really good defense behind me, and it's a good team win."
"I felt much better today physically than I did the last outing. That made a big difference in my ability to execute more often."
