DENVER >> Dodgers pitcher Carlos Frias became the first pitcher in the modern era to allow 10 hits while getting less than three outs Wednesday. The Dodgers are trailing the Colorado Rockies 9-0 in the third inning.

Frias, starting in place of injured left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, allowed 10 hits and six runs in two-thirds of an inning before he was relieved by Scott Elbert.

Prior to the game, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly complimented Frias’ willingness to attack the strike zone.

“He’s not afraid to go out there and throw it over,” Mattingly said. “Early on he gave up a couple homers. He went right back out there and was still on the attack. He doesn’t seem to be afraid at all. He tends to be fearless.”

Frias did not walk a batter.

Other than that, he did exactly the opposite of what the manager was looking for:

Frias threw 38 pitches. All were four-seam fastballs or cut fastballs.

The Rockies had never scored eight runs in the first inning of a game in their 22-year history.
