The Dodgers’ offense came to play on Saturday night. You can tell they were frustrated from Friday’s loss by 8 runs.
Corey Seager stole the show as he went 4-4 with 3 RBIs. Of course, the biggest highlight is that he hit his first career home run included in those 4 hits. He is beginning to really heat up and could be a real secret weapon for the Dodgers.
Alongside Seager, Joc Pederson and Adrian Gonzalez added home runs of their own as the Dodgers went on to score 9 runs total, to win the game 9-5.
It was a rather disappointing start for Rubby De La Rose, who only went two innings and allowed 6 runs off 8 hits. The D-backs’ bullpen had to go to work early, but they couldn’t seem to slow the Dodgers’ offense enough to come out with victory.
No single D-back stood out individually as it was a team effort. All 5 RBIs came from different players. A.J Pollock, Ender Inciarte, David Peralta, Chris Owings, and Peter O’Brein all produced runs.
