THE MOJ: B.C.’s Paxton expecting big things from himself and his L.A. Dodgers

It’s never been a question of talent with Ladner’s James Paxton, it’s always been a question of health.Now a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Paxton is continuing his big-league career despite the adversity he has faced the past few years.

Now in his 11th Major League season, Paxton has managed to exceed 150 innings twice in his career. In the last three seasons, he’s made just 25 starts. It was a night in which Paxton didn’t have his best stuff but he found a way to pick up the win as the Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants by a score of 8-3.On a night when Paxton admits he was trying to find ‘that gap’ all night long, he managed to navigate his way through the Giants lineup throwing five shutout innings, allowing five hits and four walks while striking out five.

“He didn’t have his best stuff but it was would you expect from James. He’s a seasoned veteran who is going to go out there and compete and make pitches when he needs to. That last out was big,” Roberts said after the game.“That was awesome. For him to allow me to pitch in that situation was huge. To get out of that really built my confidence up. It’s going to help me going forward knowing that I can get in those situations and get out of them. I was very inconsistent.
