Dodgers' James McDonald makes good first impression
The 23-year-old rookie pitches 31/3 scoreless innings and strikes out five in his playoff debut. Clayton Kershaw also pitches well in his first postseason appearance.
PHILADELPHIA -- Of the six pitchers the Dodgers used Friday night, Russell Martin said he didn't see anyone better than the September call-up who made his postseason debut.
James McDonald, the Dodgers' two-time minor league pitcher of the year, had five strikeouts and held the Phillies scoreless over the 3 1/3 innings he pitched in the 8-5 loss at Citizens Bank Park.
"It wasn't nervousness," McDonald said of his feelings when he ran out of the bullpen with the bases loaded in the third inning. "It was an excitement. This is where I wanted to be. This is where I expected to be."
McDonald struck out Pat Burrell to get the final out of the third. He limited the Phillies to two hits over the next three innings.
Primarily a starter in his career, the 23-year-old McDonald said that the move to the bullpen that accompanied his promotion to the big leagues has required a major adjustment.
McDonald said the best advice he received was from Greg Maddux, who told him he should not hesitate to use every pitch in his arsenal immediately upon entering the game as a reliever.
"I think we found out a little bit about that young man tonight," Manager Joe Torre said.

This dude impressed me, his 12 to 6 curveball had the Phills on their heals.
