The Los Angeles Dodgers head into Game 2 of the World Series in a 0-1 hole and send Hyun-Jin Ryu to the mound to face David Price and the Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox got the best of theLos Angeles Dodgersin Game 1 of the World Series behind a seventh-inning pinch-hit home run off the bat ofEduardo Nunez. Up to that point, it was a fairly even game, with the Dodgers trailing by just one run.
It was not a pitching duel, though. BothChris SaleandClayton Kershawwere pulled in the fifth inning with no outs. Sale’s pitch count was in the 90s and was pulled after a leadoff walk toBrian Dozier.
Kershaw’s pitch count was in a more manageable spot but he did not have his best stuff. After allowing bothMookie BettsandAndrew Benintendito reach,Dave Robertswent to the right-hander inRyan Madson.
Tonight could be the exact same story for both sides or could be the polar opposite, there really is no in between.Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has been great at times and not so great in others, takes the bump for LA. Meanwhile, the Red Sox send someone who is even more infamous in the postseason,David Price.
Here is how the two southpaws matchup in Game 2.
