Tyler Mahle fired seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits to get a win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Mahle had to be close to perfect with Shohei Ohtani also firing scoreless frame after frame, but he was able to last one more inning than Ohtani will getting a three-run homer from Patrick Bailey to allow him to pick up the win. The right-hander was awful against the Reds last week (4 IP, 8 ER), but brilliant against the Dodgers in this one, which is just proof that baseball is definitely a sport. He’ll look to keep lowering his 5.26 ERA against the Phillies on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
