Stripling was tagged with a no decision Thursday, allowing two earned runs over 6.0 innings while striking out five batters.
Although Stripling actually allowed a hit Thursday as opposed to his 7.1 innings of no-hit ball in his first start of the season last week, the young right-hander still put together a solid outing altogether. Stripling was more dialed-in in terms of command, cutting his walks down from four on Friday to just one free pass against the Diamondbacks. As the season wears on an teams get more of a feel for Stripling's tendencies, however, his numbers figure to take a dip. Furthermore, his time in the Dodgers' rotation may be nearing a close given that Michael Bolsinger and Hyun-Jin Ryu are due for returns in the coming weeks.
