) Nasim Nunez had an active evening and some of it was not very good. Nunez stole his 45th base of the season, but then was thrown out at 3rd with Wood up to bat as he overslid the bag. Nunez also made a crucial error at shortstop that gave L.A. a 4-0 lead.

) Nunez has 14 errors on the season and the complications at SS for the franchise continue. CJ Abrams got the start at 2B on Friday night.

) Jackson Kent issued four walks in five innings of work. Kent has struggled in this category as he has walked 19 batters in five career starts.

) Jack Sinclair made his MLB debut by tossing a scoreless bottom of the 8th. Sinclair took Matt Kranik's roster spot after Kranik was the latest reliever to be DFA'd.

) Cade Cavalli will take the mound on Saturday night and will be a stiff test for the Dodger lineup. It is unclear if Shohei Ohtani wil return to the field after missing the past few days due to soreness in his neck.
