The Dodgers rallied from five runs down late to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 on Tuesday.
Despite the increased injury risk, the Dodgers are a much stronger team when Mookie Betts plays shortstopThe Dodgers, however, responded at the plate.
Then Busch, making his major league debut as the designated hitter, roped a two-strike slider from Pirates starter Johan Oviedo up the middle for his first hit and RBI, scoring one run and setting up Austin Barnes for a sacrifice fly two batters later. Amid a five-for-45 start to the season, Taylor wasn’t expecting Tuesday to be the day he found a rhythm with his swing.
Thus, when Pirates reliever Colin Holderman threw a 2-and-0 sinker belt-high on the inner half, Taylor’s mind wasn’t clouded by swing thoughts and mechanical cues. He simply planted his front foot, lashed his barrel at the ball, and watched it sail through a crisp Pittsburgh night, well beyond Suwinski’s reach.
