LOS ANGELES — One of the starting pitchers Friday night at Dodger Stadium has already won a Cy Young Award.
In the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-1 win over the San Diego Padres, however, it was the other who cemented his place in the midseason discussion for this year’s honor.
In perhaps the best start of his career, Tony Gonsolin stole the show in front of 48,076 at Chavez Ravine, giving up just one run in a personal-best 72/3 innings to tighten his grasp on the majors’ best earned-run average.
