Editorial Seventh entry
Los Angeles / 03/31/2024 15:05:41
The first weekend in the 2024 MLB Season comes to an end as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the St. Louis Cardinals this Sunday, March 31, one day after an unusual matchup in which Dodger Stadium suffered its first delay due to rain in the last nine years and the locals wasted the first good start of the Japanese Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
How do they get there?
During Saturday night’s game, the Cardinals took a dramatic 6-5 extra-innings victory against the Dodgers who had a full house in the tenth inning with Shohei Ohtani batting with two outs. The Japanese star failed with a fly ball to short center field that put an end to the game that represented the Angelenos’ second loss in five games this season.
Steven Matz (4-7, 3.86 last season) starts for the Cardinals; Last year he only had one start against Los Angeles in which he pitched 4.2 innings of no earned runs.
The Cardinals today placed rookie RHP Riley O’Brien (right forearm flexor strain) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 29, and recalled LHP John King from Triple-A. King appeared in 20 games for St. Louis last season (1-0, 1.45 ERA) after being acquired from Texas; He earned a minor league save on Friday, getting the final out in the season-opening victory.
Gavin Stone will make his debut in 2024 after being named to an Opening Day roster for the first time in his career; Including him on the list helps address the major absences that the Dodgers have in their rotation. He will face the Cardinals for the first time in his career. He went 1-1 with one save in his debut season with a 9.00 ERA (31 earned runs/31.0 innings) in eight games (four starts).
Mookie Betts returns to the field, leading the Dodgers, being the hitter with the best average (.611) at the start of this season in the Major Leagues, in addition to being the best player among other offensive statistics in just five games. He has homered in four consecutive games.
