If 31-year-old San Francisco Giants right-hander Anthony DeSclafani isn’t the worst hitting pitcher in all of baseball, he is definitely one of them. In fact, the Freehold, NJ native and sixth-round draft pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011 out of the University of Florida entered Friday night’s extremely crucial game between the Dodgers and […]

In recognition of those affected by last week’s tragic bombing at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, the Dodgers will be flying flags at half-staff at Dodger Stadium to honor the 13 American service members who lost their lives in service of our country.
