If I told you a couple years ago that Joc Pederson, Rubby De La Rosa and Carlos Frias would be in the starting lineup May 1, 2015 at Dodger Stadium, you probably wouldn’t have been surprised. You might have guessed that Pederson would be batting leadoff, belting tape-measure grand slams, establishing himself as one of the most consistent presences in the Dodger lineup (even if his place in the batting order wasn’t always the same).

You probably wouldn’t have guessed that Frias was the winning pitcher for the Dodgers, dealing 98-mph fastballs, and De La Rosa was the pitcher on the losing end of an 8-0 game. Such are the mysteries of hype and potential and baseball. It was a more interesting game than the final score revealed.

Here’s some of what Frias, Pederson and Don Mattingly said after the game:

Lastly, the injuries: Hyun-Jin Ryu (shoulder) threw a bullpen session before the game. Carl Crawford (oblique) said it’s still painful for him to cough. Kenley Jansen began his minor-league rehab assignment in Rancho Cucamonga.
