Freddie Freeman hits a pair of home runs and Max Muncy, J.D. Martinez and Jonny DeLuca also homer in 16-3 blowout win over the Texas Rangers.
The Dodgers have combined power and patience all season, ranking second in baseball in home runs and walks, but they’re beginning to supplement their slug-and-chug attack with a new-found killer instinct that was on full display again inAfter erasing an early deficit with a three-run second inning, the Dodgers cranked a pair of solo homers by Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy in the third and piled on with five more runs in the fourth on Freeman’s two-run homer and J.D. Martinez’s three-run shot.
The Dodgers amassed 27 runs and 31 hits, including five homers and seven doubles, walked 15 times and went 12 for 28 with runners in scoring position in the two games. They also sprinkled in some aggressive and opportunistic baserunning, going first to third on several singles and taking extra bases on defensive miscues.
The Dodgers’ 18th victory in 25 games assured them of a third series win on a grueling, post-All-Star-break, nine-game trip to New York , American League East-leading Baltimore and AL West-leading Texas.The beneficiary of Saturday’s early outburst was rookie right-hander Bobby Miller, who gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings, striking out six and walking none, to improve to 6-1 with a 4.38 ERA in 10 starts.
Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez is congratulated at home plate by teammates Max Muncy, Will Smith and David Peralta after hitting a three-run home run in the fourth inning Saturday. But Miller struck out Travis Jankowski and Nathaniel Lowe with curveballs and got Adolis Garcia to line out Freeman, who made a diving grab toward the first-base line. He then escaped a two-on, one-out jam in the second by getting Ezequiel Duran to bounce into a 4-6-3 double play.The Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline is approaching and the Dodgers are in need of starting pitching, relief pitching and bench help.
