Freeway Series Recap: Joc Pederson Hits Home Run, Dodgers And Angels Play To Tie

Brandon McCarthy was relatively effective through four innings in his final tuneup of Spring Training, and the Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up the exhibition Freeway Series with a tie against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Dodger Stadium.

Corey Seager immediately made his presence felt in his first game back, lining an opposite-field single with one out in the bottom of the first. Justin Turner followed with a two-run home run, which was his fifth homer of the spring and second in as many games.

A Cameron Maybin one-out walk in the second inning was followed by a single to put runners on the corners. Danny Espinosa’s RBI groundout trimmed the Dodgers’ lead in half before McCarthy could get out of the inning.

Yasiel Puig, batting eighth for a third consecutive game, was stranded in the bottom of the second after hitting a two-out double. Yunel Escobar’s leadoff single in the third was followed by back-to-back strikeouts.

But rather than get through the inning unscathed, McCarthy left a cutter over the plate that Pujols hit deep into the stands down the left-field line for a go-ahead home run. Seager and Turner singled in the bottom of the third, only for Adrian Gonzalez to ground into a double play.

Brandon Morrow picked up a pair of strikeouts and worked around a leadoff base hit in the fourth to keep the Angels’ lead at 3-2. Jesse Chavez was removed after allowing consecutive one-out singles to Yasmani Grandal and Joc Pederson. Angels reliever J.C. Ramirez retired Puig and Austin Barnes to strand both runners.

Pederson delivered for the Dodgers in the sixth, clubbing a two-run home run. Yaisel Sierra, who retired the side in order in the sixth, worked around a leadoff double in the seventh to complete a second scoreless inning in relief.

Minor League reliever Michael Johnson gave up a single, issued a walk, and then gave up an RBI double. Cody Bellinger walked and Franklin Gutierrez singled in the bottom of the ninth and finished the spring with their second tie.
