Ethier sees payoff of staying prepared

In his 12th season with the club and final season of his contract, 35-year-old Andre Ethier never knows when the next start will be his last. The Dodgers are more likely to pay a $2.5 million buyout than pick up a $17.5 million option for 2018. But he’s never been afraid of the moment, and his home run leading off the second inning was pivotal.
