Beckett struck out six and walked three to win his third consecutive start, after going winless in 2013 for what was the 11th no-hitter in Dodgers' history. The three-time All-Star's excellence has surprised many, including Beckett. He's not complaining, though, according to MLB.com.
"Especially when you get to this point in your career, I figured those days were behind me," Beckett said of the two days of no-no euphoria that carried cross-country, from Philadelphia to L.A.
He'll look to continue his newly rediscovered success against Pittsburgh, a franchise he's seen very little of during his 14-year career. He has not faced the Pirates since July 5, 2004, while with the Marlins. Beckett is 1-1 with a 1.54 ERA in two career starts against the Bucs.
Beckett threw a career-high 128 pitches in the no-hitter. Asked how he felt the next day, Beckett wasn't too concerned.
"Pretty normal," Beckett said. "A pretty common day after a start. Certainly, when I was younger, I would feel a little bit better the day after."
So, what's pretty normal?
"Like I got hit by a truck," Beckett quipped.
Manager Don Mattingly isn't worried about his pitcher's heavy workload, saying Beckett hasn't experienced any problems this week.
"He threw a bullpen, and he doesn't always do that," Mattingly said. "He didn't feel that he got overtaxed. I pretty much expect him to be Josh [on Friday], at this point."
