Although it may not have been as impressive of a start to the season as Gonzalez, Lamb is tied with the Dodgers’ first basemen in RBI with seven through the first three games of the year.

On Opening Day, Lamb pinch-hit in the bottom of the eighth inning a scorched a three-RBI double off of the center-field wall.

The next day Lamb was in the starting lineup and did not disappoint. He knocked a run in early in the ball game with an RBI groundout. The 24-year-old third basemen then hit his first home run of the season to deep left-field to take a 7-4 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning.
