New Manager Don Mattingly decided to rest as many regulars as he could last night and the result was a 10-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The loss drops them to 2-1 on the season and they go after the series win tonight on ESPN2.
When you get shutout there can't be too many offensive stars but Andre Ethier did go 3-4 and Jamey Carroll went 2-4. My man Xavier Paul went 1-3 and Hector Gimenez did get his first major league hit. Ivan DeJesus Jr. is off to a rough start in his career as he went 0-3 last night with 2 more strikeouts (0-7 with 5 strikeouts in his two starts- Jamey Carroll is back starting tonight at Second Base) and he made a throwing error. It should be a fairly short trip back to Albuquerque.
The pitching was just as bad. Ted Lilly didn't make it through the 5th inning and Kenley Jansen gave up more runs last night (1 IP, 4 ER) than he did his whole rookie season. Reliever Lance Cormier did get in some work (3 IP, 1 ER) and he had the best showing of all of them.
