Unexpected pitching plan doesn't slow Dodgers in win over Angels

"Hours before the first pitch, Blake Snell was scratched from his scheduled start and then later placed on the 15-day injured list due to loose bodies in his left elbow. With no other options besides a bullpen game, Will Klein was given the start on short notice. Klein pitched two shutout innings while allowing just one hit and striking out two."

"That was followed by scoreless innings from Edgardo Henriquez, Blake Treinen, Wyatt Mills, Kyle Hurt, Alex Vesia, Jack Dreyer and Charlie Barnes. In total, the bullpen combined to allow just two hits while striking out 11 and walking four. The Dodgers bullpen steps up to keep the Angels off the board throughout the game."

"The Dodgers offense combined to hit three home runs to power them to the victory. That started with a three-run homer from Andy Pages to start the scoring in the fourth inning. Pages hit his homer after a leadoff single from Will Smith and walk by Kyle Tucker. Max Muncy then followed with a solo shot to give the Dodgers back-to-back homers and put them up 4-0."

"In the sixth inning, Muncy singled with one out, and Teoscar Hernández followed with a homer, his first in roughly one month. Hernández has been swinging the bat much better as of late and now has at least one extra-base hit in three consecutive games. With their win, the Dodgers also ended a seven-game losing streak against the Angels."

The Dodgers turned a difficult stretch into a three-game winning streak with a 6-0 victory over the Angels in Anaheim. Blake Snell was scratched hours before first pitch and placed on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow. Will Klein started on short notice and pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two. The bullpen followed with scoreless work from multiple relievers, limiting the Angels to two hits total while striking out 11 and walking four. The offense hit three home runs, including back-to-back homers by Andy Pages and Max Muncy, and a later homer by Teoscar Hernández. The win ended a seven-game losing streak against the Angels.
