Dodgers: AJ Pollock Plays Hero Again in Series Win

The Dodgers had not lost a series this year going into Sunday’s game. The Giants threatened to end that streak by completely shutting them down through the first 6 innings. 

Kevin Gausman had thrown 6 scoreless innings with just 2 base hits prior to the 7thinning. After allowing a single to Cody Bellinger, he was pulled in favor of submarine pitcher Tyler Rogers. That set the stage for AJ Pollock to play hero for the Dodgers once again. 



After arguing a strike two call that appeared to graze the zone, Pollock took Rogers deep to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. Los Angeles would a few runs on a Mookie Betts homerun in the 8th. The bullpen came on and completely shut the Giants down after Walker Buehler tossed 5.2 innings and gave up 2 runs. 

For Pollock, that is now his fourth homerun of the season. The most he has ever hit in a season was 21 back in 2018, though he is far outpacing that right now. He has driven in 9 on the year and continues to drive the ball all over the field. Who knew that Pollock would end up being one of the Dodgers’ most productive outfielders in 2020. 

Up Next for the Dodgers

  1. Battle of the puppet masters and Zaidi went with Rogers and his 10 ERA and predictably there went the lead. Luckily Friedman’s bullpen moves were less stupid

    1. Pollack is looking like the comeback player of the year. So far. He has to stay healthy. I ragged on him big time last year, and during the off-season. But he deserves a lot of praise now for turning it around.

      Buehler was wild. But he’s fine.
