Max Muncy hits a first-inning grand slam, but Emmet Sheehan struggles to keep the Texas Rangers at bay in an 8-4 loss to cap a nine-game road trip.
Sunday’s series finale began much like Saturday’s 16-3 shellacking of the Rangers ended, as Mookie Betts opened the game with a double, Freddie Freeman singled, Chris Taylor walked with one out and Muncy drove his fifth career grand slam and third this season into the right-field seats for a 4-0 lead.
Rangers left-hander Martin Perez quickly found the strike zone that he struggled to locate in the first inning, blanking the Dodgers on three hits with six strikeouts from the second through sixth innings, and relievers Brock Burke, Aroldis Chapman and Will Smith covered the final three frames. A pair of first-inning free passes and Jonah Heim’s two-run double, a ball Dodgers right fielder Jonny DeLuca got his glove on with a dive into the gap but couldn’t hold onto–pulled the Rangers to within 4-2 in the bottom of the first.Another pair of walks and RBI singles by Marcus Semien, Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Jung in the second inning pushed the Rangers ahead 5-4.
Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan walks off the mound during the fourth inning of the Dodgers’ 8-4 loss Sunday to the Rangers.
