Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing said the Colorado Rockies took some “fishy” swings against relief pitcher Will Klein during a two-run sixth inning on Saturday, a suggestion that perhaps some pitches has been tipped.
“I think it’s odd that some of those hitters that do what they do, they go up there and they’re on the first pitch that was thrown,” Rushing told reporters. “It’s a little fishy but I’ll wear it.”
All three hits Colorado had to start the inning came against breaking balls, but L.A. manager Dave Roberts suggested they simply weren’t great pitches.
“I saw some bad breaking balls,” he told reporters. “So, I don’t think there was anything fishy behind it. I think there were some bad pitches.”
It was a costly inning either way, as the Dodgers ultimately lost the game 4-3. The Rockies followed that up with a 9-6 victory over L.A. on Sunday.
