Dodgers Celebrated James Paxton Reaching 10 Years Of Major League Service Time

James Paxton turned in an efficient start in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field on Monday to build on early success this season.

The left-hander allowed just two runs on three hits over six innings of work, with the only blemish being a two-run homer to Manuel Margot in the third inning.

Paxton also showed improved command as he walked only one batter after issuing five free passes in his Dodgers debut against the San Francisco Giants.

Paxton then reached 10 years of Major League service time the day after facing the Twins, which was recognized by his Dodgers teammates, via Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:

Veteran left-hander James Paxton reached 10 years of major-league service time on Tuesday. His teammates recognized the achievement – which brings with it a certain level of pension benefits – with a champagne toast after the game.

“We’ve got a few more 10-year anniversaries for guys this year,” Roberts said.

Accruing 10 years of Major League service time is considered a significant benchmark as fewer than 10% of players in MLB history have accomplished the feat.

Kolten Wong, who had a brief stint with the Dodgers last season, was among the 30 players who reached the milestone in 2023. The group also included former Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood, who joined the illustrious group in his third season with the San Francisco Giants.

Prior to Wong, Kenley Jansen and Justin Turner were the last Dodgers players to accrue 10 years of Major League service time.

James Paxton focused on throwing more strikes

Paxton said he went into his latest start with a focus on throwing more strikes. He also credited his curveball for being an effective pitch against the Twins.

Through two starts, Paxton owns a 1.64 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with nine strikeouts in 11 innings.
