Dodgers support Dustin May with five home runs against Rockies
LOS ANGELES – Dustin May turns 23 on Sunday. He made eight starts as a 22-year-old and did not allow more than two earned runs in any of them. The last Dodger pitcher so young with a streak so long was Fernando Valenzuela in 1981. May’s consistency was not rewarded with a victory Friday; the Dodgers needed three home runs in the eighth inning to come from behind to beat the Colorado Rockies 10-6. It had already been rewarded with something bigger: a spot in the starting rotation for the duration of the 2020 season, however long it lasts. May threw 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs. He walked one batter and struck out five. May left after his 84th pitch with the Dodgers down a run. The Dodgers’ A.J.
