“Clearly, we’re all going to speak about Chris Taylor’s grand slam. However I’ve obtained to offer an enormous shoutout to [Heyward’s] at-bat earlier than that,” Freeman stated. “The three-2 slider he took, that was a powerful take. Units up that complete factor. So massive props to each Jason and Chris.”

“Yeah, he was actually recognizing that fastball up within the zone,” Taylor stated. “He threw 4 or 5 up there. There was one I missed that I most likely ought to’ve hit that was extra middle-middle. However he’s obtained a superb heater.

“I used to be simply making an attempt to remain extra line-drive method on him. He threw me a bunch of them in a row and I used to be capable of get to that one.”

Only a few weeks in the past, the Dodgers had been in determined want for assist in the right-handed hitter division. With Miguel Vargas getting despatched down to Triple-A Oklahoma Metropolis following a chronic droop and Jonny DeLuca nonetheless growing, the membership didn’t have many choices.

However buying a right-handed hitter doesn’t seem like that a lot of an pressing want following the signing of Jake Marisnick and Taylor getting back from the injured record. Since getting back from a proper knee harm after the All-Star break, Taylor has now recorded successful in all three video games he’s appeared in.

“Having him again, performing [and] having the utility that he does have, it’s very useful,” Roberts stated.

Roberts and Taylor each stated they must be cautious and nonetheless handle the workload so the appropriate knee points don’t flare up. However getting Taylor again might be one other massive increase to the Dodgers’ lineup. Particularly once they want a clutch hit.

“Once I can get to the excessive fastball, I do know I’m in a superb place,” Taylor stated. “However yeah, proper now I really feel fairly good. I used to be capable of — although I used to be on the IL — I used to be capable of swing the entire time and work on some stuff.

“I wasn’t in a horrible place, however simply wonderful tuning. And yeah, I assumed that was most likely — you by no means need to be down — however it was most likely good for me to get an opportunity to work on one thing understanding you don’t must compete that evening.”
