TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Manny Ramirez and the rest of the Los Angeles Dodgers had a quiet opening in Taiwan.
Ramirez went 0 for 3 as the designated hitter, and a Dodgers’ split squad heavy on minor leaguers was held to three hits Friday night in a 5-2 loss to a team of Taiwanese All-Stars that opened a three-game exhibition series.
Just 24 hours after the Dodgers landed following a 15-hour flight from Arizona, starter Y.C. Lin limited Los Angeles to one hit in four shutout innings.
