Indeed, the Dodgers’ focus in the aftermath of Wednesday’s 7-0 win — that gave them a two-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins and 3-2 finish to their season-opening road trip — was on what’s ahead. Here are four takeaways from the series:
Clayton Kershaw struck out 13 in seven perfect innings for the Dodgers before giving way to the bullpen. Cody Bellinger hits one of four Dodgers homers.
Yet, there he was Wednesday, not only making his first turn in the rotation but throwing the most pitches out of any Dodgers starter yet. Kershaw, Heaney and Walker Buehler all pitched at least into the fifth inning without giving up more than two runs. Tony Gonsolin couldn’t get very deep into his outing Saturday against the Rockies but gave up only one run in three innings.
During the opening week of the 2016 season, Roberts’ first on the job, the manager removed Ross Stripling from his major league debut after 7 ⅓ no-hit innings, wary of taxing the rookie who was coming off Tommy John surgery. Roberts called it a “no-brainer” at the time, but the Dodgers’ bullpen went on to blow a two-run lead and lose the game.
