Los Angeles Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz recorded his first clean outing of August on Monday night. Díaz, who had struggled since returning from elbow surgery, threw 12 pitches in a perfect ninth inning against the Kansas City Royals. He struck out Michael Massey and got Isaac Collins and Kyle Isbel to retire without allowing any runs. This performance comes after Díaz had allowed a run in each of his previous outings this month, contributing to his 9.00 ERA since returning to the mound.
