Dodgers fall to White Sox after bullpen coughs up lead – Daily Breeze

THE GAME: After taking the lead in the fifth inning, the bullpen allowed four runs in a span of two innings and the Dodgers fell to the Chicago White Sox, 5-2, on Saturday at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.

PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander Tyler Glasnow had six strikeouts over a smooth three innings, giving up his only run on a home run from former teammate Miguel Vargas. Glasnow’s run of appearances in the Cactus League is now complete, with an outing in an exhibition game in Japan up next, as well as one against the Angels just before the regular season begins. … Right-hander Ben Casparius went 1⅔ innings and gave up his lone run in his second inning of work. … Left-hander Anthony Banda had a rough outing, allowing three runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning.

HITTING REPORT: Two of the Dodgers’ big bats brought in runs against the White Sox, with Mookie Betts delivering a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning and Freddie Freeman adding an RBI single one batter later. … The Dodgers had just five hits, with Andy Pages collecting a pair of singles. … While Shohei Ohtani struck out twice against White Sox Rule 5 pickup Shane Smith, the Dodgers had no answer for right-hander Grant Taylor, who recorded all six of his outs over two innings by strikeout. A second-round draft pick in 2023, Taylor has not pitched above the Single-A level.

UP NEXT: Dodgers (LHP Blake Snell) vs. A’s (RHP Joey Estes), Sunday, 1:05 p.m. PT, Camelback Ranch, Glendale, Ariz., SportsNet LA, 570 AM
