Dodgers right-hander Dustin May will start Game 3 of their NLDS against the Padres on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. May will go up against San Diego lefty Adrian Morejon.
The outing will give May a chance to put a dagger in the division-rival Padres, who dropped the first two games of the teams’ matchup and are now facing elimination. The rookie May, who threw two scoreless innings against the Padres in Game 1, enjoyed an impressive regular season in 2020.
May, 23, wound up with 56 innings (12 appearances, 10 starts) of 2.57 ERA/4.62 FIP pitching with 7.07 K/9, 2.57 BB/9 and a 54.7 percent groundball rate in his first full big league year. Only Clayton Kershaw amassed more frames for the club, while Walker Buehler, Tony Gonsolin and Julio Urias are also among the Dodgers’ best starter-capable pitchers. The depth they have in their rotation is among the many reasons the Dodgers finished with the majors’ best regular-season record (43-17) and can be considered the favorites to win this year’s World Series.
Dustin’s picture reminds me of a pitcher from the past, who I believe also pitched for the Dodgers at one point, Don “Stan the Man Unusual” Stanhouse.
I thought his name was Stan Donhouse.
That would have made more sense, but it was/is Don Stanhouse
good call!
Even though the Dodgers will win the series I hope the Padres can pull off a win to keep things interesting. Last night’s game was a lot of fun, don’t want it to end yet.
Agreed, that looks to be a very good rivalry developing that’ll be fun to watch for many years
I suspect May is the opener 1/2 innings then Julio for 2/3 then into pen. Expect the same with padres morejon hasn’t had a long start most of the year.
I agree they prolly piggy back. Question will be if it’s Urias or Gonsolin coming in next imo. I could see either, or even both
Where the padres stans? 3-0 sweeeeeeep
May will go as far as he can if he is dealing. 1-2 innings? Only if he I gassed or not effective. When dealing he is almost not hittable. I say at least 4-5, depending on how effective and them score. The Dodgers are overdue for a big night.
Machado is classless.
I never heard from a single Dodger fan who was disappointed to see Machado sign elsewhere.
I’m going to guess four innings from May, or two times through the order, whichever comes first. It’s Morejon who looks unlikely to pitch more than two. The Padres can and probably will unload their bullpen.
I have never seen a pitcher celebrate like that. Showing some class himself
It was kind of weird, but the appropriate response was not an expletive-laced tirade.
Lol one is a 21 year old kid
The other is a 300M superstar who’s 3/4 of a decade older
Who JUST threw his bat, cussed at his dugout.. then jumped the rail when his teammate went back to back… All while still trailing
Really? Gonna jump on the kid and not the one who is supposed to have been here before? Lmfao ok
You missed why he showboated Grisham the inning before mouthed off and ran up and dropped the fly ball into the bullpen at graterols feet. Padres are a classless team.
That kiss was priceless from Brusdar…my fav moment of the playoffs so far-
Manny is complete scum, shows up one of the greatest pitchers and humans to ever play the game then gets mad when Grat shows some emotion gtfo–
The only thing missing tonight was one in the Ribs for MM,,, ill take the sweep though
Im so freaking thrilled we got Mookie over Manny-
Manny, to be nice, is just a rotten apple –
Do Sd fans even really like this guy? Like REALLY? Is that who they want rep’N them? Gross ….
Oh man it’s not a comparison mookie and manny
To give a guy 300M and yet In year one he admits he phoned in the season. Or only He can showboat but no one else can
Yeah. It’s not a question.
Wait; Manny said he phoned in the season this year? I didnt hear that but it doesnt surprise me one bit
No no, sorry. Last year. First year in SD
but for last year, yeah he admitted he stopped caring as they fell further out
“First full big league year?” That’s a stretch…
Lmfao what?
He had 4 starts and 34 innings (about half of rookie eligibility) in 19.
There’s nothing factually wrong with what was typed…
Dodger haters.
Wrong about May. Only went 1. Right about a big night. 12 runs.
12-3 thumping of the Friars. Fresh Prince came through.
A game I was unable to watch. What a stupid broadcasting decision on the part of MLB.
You could have watched it on bilasport, that’s what I did … yes free.
I have no idea what that is. We were supposed to get free access to MLB Network. I entered my zip code and provider as instructed, and was given three channels. One of them doesn’t exist and the other two required a subscription. So I was blacked out of this game. Nice work, MLB.
Go to fubo.tv …
Get a Free week trial, start it next Monday youll get the whole NLCS….
Make sure to cancel on time or it will be an absurd 60$ for that month, long as you cancel on time it will be free
Try mlb66.ir The website is easily the cleanest and least annoying free streaming website I’ve ever used. I’ve been watching most of the games on it on my phone and I’ve had zero issues, it’s a great picture, and there’s only one or two ads that might pop up when you first pick a game.
Thanks for the suggestions. I don’t know if any of the upcoming games are planned to be broadcasted exclusively on MLB so this trickery might not be needed. If they do plan to show another game this way I will probably march down to my local Spectrum office and ask them why the free preview they advertised for last night’s game wasn’t available.
They’re not. All FOX or FS1 for the NLCS.
That’s good to know, thanks!
