One fan attempted to catch the solo shot with a souvenir helmet, but things didn't go according to plan. Turner's home run ball destroyed the helmet, creating a hole and completely ripping it out of his hands. Barnes flied out and the Dodgers stranded Freeman’s two-out double in the ninth inning. Jake Cronenworth provided the Padres with some insurance on a solo home run against Blake Treinen in the eighth inning. Robert Suarez got the Padres out of the jam by striking out Justin Turner and inducing Gavin Lux into a double play. That protected a 4-3 lead they had taken in large part due to a Trea Turner error in the top of the sixth.
The Dodgers' offense was red-hot against the Royals, finishing with 16 hits on the night, 6 of which were home runs. But another layer is added this weekend with Freddie Freeman returning to Atlanta for the first time since leaving. Last season, third baseman Justin Turner hit one of the most memorable home runs. While it wasn’t memorable in the sense of coming in a big moment, most fans would remember when he hit a home run that landed in a fan’s nachos.
NLDS Game 2 Recap: Dodgers Hit 3 Home Runs But Lose To Padres
The Nationals outfielder joins Bryce Harper as the only players in Washington’s franchise history to win the Derby. It was the second straight game with a home run for Freeman, who has reached base in 12 straight games. He drove in 10 runs in the three-game sweep of the Reds, thanks to seven hits in 12 at-bats, including four extra-base hits during the series. In the two games of this series the Angels were without Mike Trout, who was a late scratch from the lineup just before Saturday’s game, but it’s hard to see how he could have possibly closed the gap. The Dodgers outscored the team from Anaheim 16-2 in this series, and outscored them 22-3 in the four-game season sweep. Justin Turner hit the third homer off Padres starter Sean Manaea who has found facing the Dodgers the most daunting part of his move from Oakland to San Diego this season.
San Diego scored a second run in the inning on Jake Cronenworth’s groundout to first base. The three runs allowed and five innings Kershaw pitched matched that of Julio Urías from Game 1, and so did his six strikeouts. Making his first postseason start since the 2020 World Series, Clayton Kershaw wasn’t sharp but managed to get through five innings and exited with the game tied. He surrendered a solo home run to Manny Machado in the first inning, and was hurt again by the Padres’ All-Star when he tied the game with an RBI double in the third. Betts’ 33rd home run of the season came in the fourth inning with two on and two out.

It topped his previous best and tied Joc Pederson for the most in franchise history from a leadoff hitter. In the third, Freddie Freeman singled off the second base bag and scored from first base on Will Smith’s two-out double. Smith later added a three-run home run for a four-RBI night, giving him 79 for the season.
The Dodgers have been thrown out 11 times at third base this season, three more than any other team in the majors. Cody Bellinger entered with no hits in his last 15 at-bats and a .543 OPS in June. He was dropped to eighth in the batting order on Thursday, which sounds extreme until you consider that 70 percent of his starts this season came hitting seventh. Bellinger got the Dodgers odometer going with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. While the fan lost out on the home run ball, and his souvenir helmet, the Dodgers did end up winning the first of the 4-game series, so the night wasn't a total loss.

Noah Syndergaard plans to turn back into ‘the old me’ with Dodgers
Included is Miguel Vargas, who debuted in the majors in 2022, plus Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone and Michael Busch, who figure to play for the Dodgers at some point in 2023. Finalized a one-year, $13M contract with Noah Syndergaard, who has long been a believer in the club's ability to help pitchers reach their full potential.
Where Dodgers free agents have signed for 2023 Keeping track of where various Dodgers free agents — like Trea Turner, Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, and more — have signed for the 2023 season, and beyond. The early offense was more than enough for Julio Urías, who walked nobody and struck out eight, not allowing a run until the seventh inning. Saturday marked the 11th time in 18 starts this year the left-hander allowed either zero or one run.
That was more than enough to back Julio Urias who seems to be getting stronger as the season goes on. Trea Turner got a little ‘me’ time after the late arrival, getting his first day off this season on Friday and responded with a two-run home run in his first at-bat Saturday. Betts got his break in the form of a night at second base – an “abbreviated off day on the dirt,” Dave Roberts called it – and responded with a three-run home run, breaking his previous career-high in homers. However, squirming quickly ensued after Phil Bickford allowed hits to four of his six batters faced in the seventh inning.
While he was back at Dodger Stadium for the first time since signing with the Cardinals, Pujols reflected fondly on his experience with the Dodgers. “I was so grateful and thankful for the opportunity to play with that organization last year,” he said. Dodger Stadium then treated Pujols to a standing ovation and curtain call. Video of Roberts showed him initially celebrate as the ball left Pujols’ bat, before he quickly stopped and dropped his head in frustration.

Half of the four games featured no-hitter flirtations, and LA starters allowed only two runs on nine hits in 29⅔ innings. Also according to Stats by STATS, the Dodgers are the first team in baseball history to have a total of eight home runs, two grand slams, and two separate sets of back-to-back home runs in the same game. Since his triumphant return from the injured list, with five RBI on June 9 in Chicago, Max Muncy did not have an extra-base hit. But in the Dodgers’ first Thursday day game since that game two weeks ago, Muncy singled in his first two at-bats before smashing a ball 434 feet in the fifth inning, for his first three-hit game of the season. The Dodgers had two sacrifice flies in each of the first two games of the series, the ninth time in franchise history they’ve had multiple sac flies in consecutive games. Juan Soto defeated Julio Rodríguez in the final to win the 2022 Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium on Monday night.
