Hits were at a premium for the three Dodgers minor league affiliates in action on Wednesday night.
Player of the day
It’s been a solid start to the season for
Julian Smith for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga. He pitched four scoreless innings of relief with four strikeouts on Wednesday night, keeping the Quakes in the game despite a dismal offensive night for the home team.
The Dodgers drafted Smith, who turns 24 in June, in the 15th round in 2018. His first outing was another four strong relief innings, earning the win on May 5 while allowing only one unearned run. On the season, Smith has a 0.00 ERA in eight innings, with 11 strikeouts and two walks.
