It’s 4-0 Dodgers in the bottom of the third inning on the “strength” of a Juan Uribe flare single to right field in the second inning and the strength of an Adrian Gonzalez opposite-field home run — his second of the season and second since being traded to the Dodgers.
Zack Greinke struck out Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning on a beautiful 93 MPH fastball. For once it seemed Goldy had no chance at hitting a pitch thrown by a Dodger pitcher.
Greinke looks sharp thus far, and he’s mixing in all three of his off-speed pitches to go with a fastball that’s showing a little increased velocity. The offense is doing its job so far.
The Dodgers are back in first place after the Giants lost today, and can remain in first with a win tonight.
