Rookie Bobby Miller holds the Yankees scoreless, but a lack of offense and poor relief work lead to 4-1 loss. Dodgers have dropped 10 of their last 18.
A few hours before taking the mound against the New York Yankees — on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” and in front of a sold-out crowd of 52,000, no less — the right-handed rookie relaxed, seemingly unfazed by the high-pressure stage he was about to take.crashing through the bullpen wall the night before. And as Dave Roberts passed through the locker room, he greeted the manager with a cool, confident grin.
He rode a dominant combination of sinkers and sliders to seven strikeouts and 14 whiffs on 86 pitches. “It felt really good,” said Miller, who noted he threw his slider, which was his best pitch Sunday, “harder” and “a little bit tighter” than he had in his previous two starts. Anthony Volpe hits a two-run home run in the ninth inning Sunday to give the New York Yankees a 4-1 lead over the Dodgers.
