James Paxton delivered his best performance as a Dodger during the team's win over the Padres Saturday night, building on early success with the club.
The Dodgers weren’t in need of a “stopper” on Saturday, not after winning 13 of their last 16 games. They weren’t facing anything close to a must-win situation, either, not with a 5 ½ game lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West standings.
58 through seven starts — that might have been most crucial, sucking the life out of the jam-packed San Diego crowd. Manager Dave Roberts has been among Paxton’s biggest fans ever since the spring, when he approached the pitcher near the ed of camp for a potentially awkward conversation. With Paxton not scheduled to pitch at all during the Dodgers’ season-opening series in South Korea, the team decided he would stay back from the trip.
