James McDonald was removed with a 4-0 lead after throwing 4 1/3 innings against the Rockies on Sunday.
The Dodgers weren't willing to jeopardize a potential victory just so McDonald could get a win, and he was pulled after walking two of the three batters he faced in the fifth. He had thrown 95 pitches, just 50 of them strikes. It's looking more and more like McDonald will be shifted to the pen following Hiroki Kuroda's return.
