Trayce Thompson drives in eight runs with three homers in Dodgers win
LOS ANGELES – Trayce Thompson served up bangers and mash Saturday.
Acquired by the Dodgers last summer because of his ability to hit left-handed pitching, Thompson flipped his splits over the final four months of the season, batting .308 with a 1.010 OPS against right-handers and just .174 with a .621 OPS against the lefties he was supposed to own. The Dodgers got to Bumgarner early. Mookie Betts nearly cleared the left field wall but settled for a double after it was determined a fan had interfered with his drive. Chris Taylor eventually drove him in with a sacrifice fly and the Dodgers loaded the bases for Thompson with two outs.
