Estrada hits two-run home run in Loss
Thairo Estrada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday’s loss to the Padres. Estrada took a 91 mph sinker from Michael King in the fourth inning and deposited it 409 feet to left center field. The ball left the bat at 105.3 mph and is just a reminder that Estrada packs some punch to go along with his speed. He has hit sixth or seventh in each of his first four games, which is not ideal considering we had assumed he would hit second, but he should still be in a good position to put up solid RBI and steals totals.
Muncy swats go-ahead HR in win vs. Cards
Max Muncy swatted a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning on Sunday night, powering the Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Cardinals. The Dodgers entered the eighth inning trailing 4-2, but clawed a bit closer as Teoscar Hernández walloped a solo homer. Chris Taylor then drew a walk and swiped second base, setting the stage for Muncy to face left-hander John King. He got ahead in the count 2-1 and then crushed a 420-foot (107.0 mph EV) two-run shot that put the Dodgers ahead to stay. The 33-year-old finished the night 2-for-2 and is now hitting .348 (8-for-23) with a homer and five RBI through his first six games on the season.
