In 2021-22, 11 of Larnachs 12 homers were solo blasts. 118 (two for 17) on at-bats that end with fastballs up in the zone. 5 Home runs, of Trevor Larnachs five this year, with runners on base. One particular pitch has given Outman the most trouble–he’s batting. I could say the same thing about Mookie, and that’s a superstar player. “And the thing is, it’s happened to all of our guys. “Absolutely!” manager Dave Roberts bellowed, when asked if it was inevitable for Outman to return to earth after his torrid start. 629 OPS, one homer, four doubles, four RBIs, 26 strikeouts and six walks, his struggles reaching a point to where he did not start against Minnesota Twins right-hander Pablo López on Monday night. In 17 games since April 26, the left-handed-hitting Outman is batting. The GQs of the single surviving twins remained very close to those of the singleton children until 2 years of age when a marked drop in score was observed. 991 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, a major league-leading seven homers, three triples, 20 RBIs and 17 runs. James Outman is merely the latest youngster to rise and fall with baseball’s roller coaster, the Dodgers outfielder cooling off in May after winning National League rookie of the month honors in April, when he hit. Pitchers make adjustments to exploit the weaknesses, and rookie goes into extended slump. Rookie breaks camp with big-league club for first time and crushes opposing pitching. I think he could have kept going if we asked him.” Tigers catcher Eric Haase really made two mistakes in one: a physical. Baltimore Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins catches a fly ball hit by Minnesota Twins’ Byron Buxton during the fourth inning of a baseball game Friday, July 7, 2023, in Minneapolis. “I think he was more just realizing that he was the last man standing, and it was his game. You can already see the regret in Haase’s face, even from behind him. “That’s as good of an outing from him as you’ll ever see,” Roberts said. Max Muncy provided some early muscle with home runs in his first two at-bats, and Phil Bickford provided three gutsy innings of relief, throwing a career-high 48 pitches and limiting the Twins to one run and one hit to help the Dodgers win extend their winning streak to six and notch their 14th victory in 16 games.Ī Dodgers bullpen that had a National League-best 2.15 ERA since April 27 blew a three-run lead in the eighth inning and a one-run lead in the ninth, but Bickford, the last reliever manager Dave Roberts wanted to use, salvaged the night by escaping a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the 10th and adding a scoreless 11th and 12th. What was left of a crowd of 49,749 in Chavez Ravine got to witness some middle-of-May high drama Monday night when Trayce Thompson, mired in an 0-for-30 slump, drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 12th inning to lift the Dodgers to a 9-8 walk-off win over the Minnesota Twins.
