Dodgers held to 5 hits in Cactus League loss to Guardians

THE GAME: The Dodgers were held to five hits and lost to the Cleveland Guardians, 5-1, on Monday afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Ariz.

HITTING REPORT: Teoscar Hernandez had the Dodgers’ first two hits (both singles). Hernandez is hitting .385 (10 for 26) this spring with three doubles. … James Outman drove in the Dodgers’ only run when he sliced an RBI double down the left-field line in the sixth inning. … Yeiner Fernandez had a double in the ninth inning. … Chris Okey had the Dodgers’ other hit and is 6 for 13 this spring.

PITCHING REPORT: Bobby Miller was hurt by poor defense behind him (including a pop-up that fell in for a hit between shortstop Chris Taylor and second baseman Gavin Lux). He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk in 3⅓ innings. … Justin Wilson pitched another scoreless inning. Counting one inning that was later erased by rain, Wilson has struck out 11 of the 22 batters he has faced since signing a minor-league deal with the Dodgers this spring.

DEFENSE REPORT: Lux was charged with an error in the first inning when he fielded a ground ball cleanly but his throw pulled first baseman Kevin Padlo off the base. The error led to the Guardians’ first run. … Minor-league prospect Thayron Liranzo was charged with an error at first base when he tripped over the base.
