The Los Angeles Dodgers are quickly making up for a round patch in their season. The team continues to find ways to win, especially at home. The Dodgers have won 35 of 43 games, many of those coming as comeback wins. On Friday, the team faced Tampa Bay and erased a 6-0 deficit to win 7-6. Mark Ellis recorded three hits, Yasiel Puig tacked on two more and the Dodgers are now 13-of-18.
Zack Greinke takes the mound looking to continue his home success. He is 9-3 with a 3.40 ERA on the season, but is 6-1 with a 2.74 ERA in nine home starts. However, against Tampa Bay, he has had less success. Greinke is 2-6 with a 3.63 ERA again the AL team.
Tampa Bay will send Roberto Hernandez to the mound. He is 6-11 with a 4.75 ERA. He is coming off his first complete game of his career after giving up just two runs in the win. In his four interleague starts, Hernandez is 3-0 with a 2.22 ERA this season and looks to better that on the road.
James Loney had three hits against his former team on Friday in his first return to Dodgers stadium after playing for the team for the last six seasons. He told reporters that it was great to be back. His success proved that. Puig will be the player to watch like always. He is 14 for 29 this month, hitting .418. Tampa Bay is aiming to slow him down as much as they can.
