Dodgers starting pitcher Alex Wood (11-10) was brilliant Wednesday, as he allowed one hit and no walks across eight innings, while striking out five in a 2-0 win over the Rockies.
The Rockies were clearly tired after their 16-inning marathon Tuesday, and Wood took advantage big time. Wood also did his club a big favor by going so deep into this game after the bullpen had to use so many arms the night before.
It was a surprise that he didn't complete the game, as he had just 78 pitches through his eight innings. In any case, it's his best start of the season and a great sign going forward. The lefty is lined up for two starts next week beginning with the Diamondbacks on Monday.
