grounder

After Austin Hays bounced a grounder to Betts that the shortstop threw home for a forceout, Yamamoto slammed the door with back-to-back strikeouts.

And the two outs that followed — a fly ball from Jackson Chourio and grounder from Christian Yelich — proved to be only a temporary reprieve.

“It’s a position I’m comfortable with,” Edman said Friday, after taking grounders at third at the start of his pregame work.

He fell behind early, then worked the count even before a weak grounder to second.

As one of the first Dodgers players on the field before the game, he spent several minutes running the bases, then went through a full session of infield grounders at shortstop.
