Corey Seager, who visited Dodger Stadium for the first time since moving to the Dodgers, gave his team a come-from-behind victory. Texas Rangers shortstop Seager played as the second designated hitter in an away game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on the 13th (Korea Standard Time).
The game was his first time playing at Dodger Stadium since he left the Dodgers and signed with Texas ahead of the 2022 season. Earlier, the team had two games with the Dodgers, but he was unable to play in the aftermath of injuring his hamstring during a home game against the Detroit Tigers on the 6th.
He took part in the game for the first time in a week, but hit a critical hit. He hit a three-run homer over the right-center fence off Dodgers starter Walker Buehler with runners on first and second bases with one out in the top of the fifth inning when his team was losing 0-1.
At the 3-2 full count, he hit the 95.9-mile four-seam fastball, which was his seventh pitch, without missing out. With a speed of 111 miles and an angle of 24 degrees, the perfect ball flew 422 feet.
According to the Rangers promotional team, it was Seager’s third come-from-behind home run with more than two runners this season. He is the first Texas batter to set such a record in a single season since Juan Gonzalez (third inning) in 2003. 토토사이트 추천
Texas won the game 3-2, avenging its 2-15 defeat on the previous day. The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani hit his 17th homer of the season against Texas starter John Gray in the bottom of the first inning.
However, he was disappointed that he did not show much performance at bat afterwards.
It was a disappointing game for the Dodgers, too. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Ryu garnered runners with Will Smith’s hit to the left and Andy Frazier’s walk against Texas Rangers outfielder Kirby Yates, and Jason Heyward hit a hit to the right-center field.
Smith, who was at second base, easily got home, but the first baseman’s attempt to score was a little reckless. Eventually, the game ended with the tag out at home. The Dodgers tried to check the video to see if the catcher interfered with the base running, but failed to overturn the decision.
Texas’ starter John Gray left early with four hits, one home run, one walk, three strikeouts and one run in three innings, but Jacob Ratz and Jose Lecluck played two innings each to fill the gap. Ratz became the winning pitcher, and Yates recorded a save.
Dodgers starter Walker Buehler became a losing pitcher by allowing seven hits, one homer, one walk, two strikeouts and three runs (two earned runs) in five innings. He lost four games (one win) in this season.
