Los Angeles AngelsvsLos Angeles Dodgers
LAA 0/LAD 1
Things to say
Dodgers edged the Angels 1-0 at Dodger Stadium to take the Freeway Series opener.
01
opener
Dodgers squeaked out a 1-0 over the Angels last night. Classic pitcher's duel at Chavez Ravine. One run was all they needed.
02
key player
Whoever started for LA was dealing — kept the Angels off the board all night and got into his stuff early.
03
hot take
Angels are 24-40 and it shows. They can't manufacture a run to save their lives.
04
deep cut
Crazy that the heart of the Angels order couldn't push a single runner across against that bullpen.
05
exit
Should be a fun rest of the series — Dodgers at 41-23 are rolling. Anyway, catch you later.
The recap
Dodgers squeaked past the Angels 1-0 in a classic Freeway Series pitchers' duel at Chavez Ravine. Both staffs were dealing — the kind of game where every at-bat felt like a chess match and nobody in the heart of the order could square anything up.
The lone run was all the Dodgers needed, and the bullpen slammed the door to push them to 41-23. Angels drop to 24-40 and you've gotta feel for their starter, who pitched way too well to take that loss.
