Dalton Rushing started behind the plate for the Dodgers on Thursday night as they wrapped up a four game homestand against the Giants as Will Smith got some rest and DH'd with Shohei Ohtani sitting out a second straight game.
Rushing hit seven home runs in the first three weeks of the season, but has just seven base hits in the last month and went 0-for-4 in his last start. He has only struck out 21 times in 22 games this season, but boy is he making a decent percentage of those K's memorable. Two weeks ago against the Marlins he managed to strike out on just two pitches after he and the umpire had some poor communication.
