Freddie Freeman hits his 59th double and 29th home run of the season, but Miguel Rojas leaves with a hand contusion in the Dodgers' win over the Giants.
J.D. Martinez becomes the fourth Dodgers player to eclipse 100 RBIs this season — a franchise first — in a 14-5 blowout loss to the Colorado Rockies.First baseman Freddie Freeman also moved closer to some single-season records, hitting his 59th double and 29th home run of the season in pursuit of the first 60-homer/30-double campaign in MLB history.
First, the Giants — who, after firing manager Gabe Kapler earlier in the afternoon, were being managed by interim Kai Correa — successfully challenged a groundout to the Dodgers’ chagrin; getting the play negated after video review showed Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas had his heels in the outfield grass at the time of the pitch, a violation of MLB’s new infield shift rules.
The Dodgers said Rojas’ injury was a left hand contusion. The severity of the injury wasn’t immediately known. His hit — one of three on a night he finished just a triple shy of the cycle — also set up J.D. Martinez for a statistically-significant three-run blast later in the inning, one that pushed Martinez past the 1,000-RBI mark for his career and gave the Dodgers 900 total runs this season, a first in the franchise’s Los Angeles history.
