Dodgers pitching prospect Kyle Hurt had little time to process his call-up, impressing by shutting down the teeth of the Padres' lineup Tuesday.
Lance Lynn pitched a seven-inning, two-run, five-hit effort while Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer as the Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 11-2.It didn’t hurt that Hurt had some margin for error, the Dodgers building a huge lead behind Freddie Freeman, who celebrated his 34th birthday with four hits, including a two-run homer and his major league-leading 55th double, and four runs, and Will Smith, who doubled in the first inning and cranked a three-run homer to center in the fourth.
“The first time we all saw him, I think, was when he came into the game,” Freeman said. “To go through that first inning with Fernando, Juan and Manny … you could just see from the side angle that his fastball was coming out hot, it looked like a different kind of heater, and he played that changeup off of it.
