Pitcher Justin Wrobleski gives Dodgers a surprising boost during win over Royals

Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski throws the ball during the fifth inning of a win over the Kansas City Royals Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. (Charlie Riedel / Associated Press) In truth, there was very little notable action on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. Which, in effect, is exactly how Justin Wrobleski liked it. In the Dodgers' 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals — a victory that clinched the weekend series and gave the club a 5-1 record on this past week's road trip — Wrobleski continued to quietly impress as a depth pitching option for the Dodgers, pitching six scoreless innings that was short on flash but long on substance; serving as the latest productive outing in his suddenly auspicious sophomore season. Advertisement Entering the game after opener Lou Trivino at the start of the second, Wrobleski made easy work of a struggling Kansas City offense, giving up just three hits and one walk in a six-strikeout showing as the Dodgers (53-32) pulled away at the plate. Read more: Shohei Ohtani hits 102 mph in another sharp pitching start, but Dodgers fall to Royals Kiké Hernández hit a two-run homer in the second. Will Smith added a solo shot in the sixth. And by the time the team tacked on two more runs in the seventh, such extra insurance was already looking unneeded. Instead, Wrobleski further raised his stock in what has been a surprise midseason rejuvenation, turning in his best performance yet at the big-league level. Advertisement Over his 83-pitch outing, the Royals (39-45) only once managed to even put a runner in scoring position. Few saw Wrobleski's surge coming this season. After a choppy eight-game debut last year, when he had a 5.70 ERA, the 24-year-old left-hander's first opportunity in the majors this season was a total disaster, giving up eight runs in five innings to the Washington Nationals back on April 8. Wrobleski was optioned back to the minor leagues after that, and made only one MLB appearance over the next two months: a four-inning outing in mop-up relief duty during a May 15 blowout of the Athletics. Read more: Why Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman have struggled at the plate lately for the Dodgers Advertisement At the start of June, however, he was called back up to make a spot start in St. Louis, turning in a decent six-inning, four-run effort. And since then, he has continued to get better each time out. In his last 20 innings — all of them coming in bulk relief — he has allowed just four earned runs while striking out 21 batters. His overall ERA in five June appearances was 2.73. The biggest difference with Wrobleski of late has been his fastball. In that April start against the Nationals, it averaged just 93 mph. In every outing since, it has sat around 96-97 mph, and topped out above 99 mph. Wrobleski credited the improvement with some small mechanical tweaks, having adopted a wider base in his pre-pitch stance and incorporated a rocking motion in his delivery to help him direct his momentum toward the plate. But also, he said he has simply found a way to throw with maximum effort more consistently — coupling it with an increased reliance on his sinker to attack the zone and induce quick outs.

The fact that he was even on this road trip was a sign of the organization's growing confidence in his abilities. During the team's last homestand, fellow young talent Emmet Sheehan returned from Tommy John surgery with four sharp innings, and seemed primed to occupy an open spot in the Dodgers' rotation moving forward. However, with Sheehan not yet fully built up, the club elected to option him back to triple-A and have Wrobleski pitch twice in a six-day span this week, with a five-inning, two-run outing in Colorado on Tuesday preceding Sunday's gem in Kansas City. Advertisement Sheehan should be back in the majors soon, having pitched six perfect innings with 13 strikeouts a start with Oklahoma City on Wednesday (manager Dave Roberts said Sheehan's next outing will also be with OKC, though he could still rejoin the Dodgers before the end of their upcoming homestand). But now, he's not the only former prospect showing flashes of being an impact option in the majors. Sunday's outing might have breezed by in the moment, but it only further underscored the lasting impression Wrobleski is suddenly making. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.

Dodgers' Hernández and Smith homer, Wrobleski pitches 6 innings of 3-hit ball in 5-1 win over Royals

Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kike Hernandez hit a two-run homer, Will Smith also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers got a dominant performance from Justin Wrobleski and the rest of their bullpen in a rain-delayed 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Wrobleski (4-2) pitched six innings of three-hit ball in place of opener Lou Trivino, Kirby Yates worked a perfect eighth and Jack Dreyer handled the ninth, helping Los Angeles win for the sixth time in seven games. Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas also drove in runs for the Dodgers, who have won six consecutive series. Kris Bubic (6-6) allowed Hernández's two-run shot in the second inning among his three hits and two walks in five innings. The left-hander struck out five but still took his fourth loss in his last five starts, despite maintaining a 2.25 ERA. Bobby Witt Jr. doubled in the first to score the only run for the Royals, who have lost seven of their last eight games. Both of the teams paid homage to the Negro Leagues, whose museum is less than 10 miles from Kauffman Stadium. The Dodgers wore hats from their Brooklyn days out of respect for Jackie Robinson, who played for the Kansas City Monarchs before breaking the color barrier, and the Royals wore the interlocking 'KC' hats of the 1945 Monarchs. Key moment The Dodgers were leading 2-1 in the fifth when Freddy Fermin led off with a bunt single for Kansas City. Drew Waters worked a 3-0 count before failing to get down a sacrifice bunt, striking out instead. Wrobleski proceeded to get Jonathan India to pop out and struck out Witt to end the threat. Key stat The Royals went 6 for 12 with runners in scoring position in their 9-5 win Saturday. They were 1 for 5 on Sunday. Up next The Dodgers have Monday off before starting a six-game homestand with RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-6, 2.61 ERA) on the mound Tuesday night against the White Sox. Kansas City begins a seven-game trip Monday night in Seattle with RHP Michael Wacha (4-7, 3.33) starting the opener of a four-game series. ___ AP MLB: recommended
