Though the Dodgers haven’t exactly been giving up runs by the bushel — only 10 in the past four days — thanks to two 12-inning games, the bullpen has been fairly taxed.
Even after Hyun-Jin Ryu threw seven innings on Thursday, Brian Wilson and Kenley Jansen combined to throw 58 pitches, a total that effectively kept the pair out of Friday’s 4-2, 12-inning loss to Arizona.
Thankfully for the Dodgers, Wednesday’s game was relatively light.
Here are the day-by-day totals:
Tuesday: 6 2/3 innings, 121 pitches
Wednesday: two innings, 31 pitches
Thursday: two innings, 58 pitches
Friday: six innings, 84 pitches
Wilson, Jansen and J.P. Howell would probably be the prime relievers as needed in support of Dan Haren tonight, when Los Angeles tries to bounce back from Friday’s disappointment, a game in which they rallied twice to tie (on home runs by Scott Van Slyke and Juan Uribe) only to lose.
