Blake Snell strikes out 10 in Dodgers return after three-month absence
The left-hander worked six innings against Kansas City in his first appearance since elbow trouble kept him out for three months.
Blake Snell returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night and struck out 10 batters over six innings against the Kansas City Royals after missing three months with elbow issues. He allowed two straight hits after retiring seven of his first 10 opponents.
Snell’s outing marked his first game back since being sidelined by loose bodies in his left elbow. The Dodgers used the start as part of a series against Kansas City.
Los Angeles also won the game in extra innings, with Max Muncy delivering the walk-off hit, according to the team’s game coverage. The result gave the Dodgers the series over the Royals.
The performance came in Snell’s first appearance since his injury layoff and added another healthy start to the Dodgers’ rotation as the season continued.
