CHICAGO, IL — On Wednesday night, Dodger pitcher Gavin Stone delivered a stellar performance, throwing a shutout against the Chicago White Sox. In a postgame interview, Stone shared his thoughts on the remarkable achievement, reflecting on the moments that led to this milestone in his career.
Reflecting on his initial reaction to the win, Stone said, “I mean, that was a cool win. I tried not to think about how many pitches I had, but I did notice it was quite a few.”
The confidence his manager and teammates had in him played a significant role in his success. “Yeah, that’s awesome. When the team believes in you, it makes a huge difference. It helps you reach a point where you feel pretty comfortable despite the considerable expectations.”
Stone also highlighted the support from the Dodgers’ offense, which provided an early lead and helped him settle into the game. “That’s a good thing about our offense—they put up a lot of runs. When they get ahead early, it makes it a lot easier to settle down.”
During the game, strategic adjustments were crucial to maintaining his dominance. Stone explained, “Just trying to figure out a couple of hitters, knowing where I wanted to go the second and third time through the lineup. Those types of conversations really help.”
As the interview concluded, Stone reflected on the personal significance of the night. “I feel like people know who Gavin Stone is now,” he said with a satisfied grin.
Stone’s performance not only showcased his talent but also marked a defining moment in his career, making it a night to remember for both him and the Dodgers.
