‘It was incredible to watch.’ Freddie Freeman’s 15-pitch walk sparks Dodgers offense

LA Times  

Dodgers’ Max Muncy, middle, celebrates with teammates after hitting a three-run home run against the San Francisco Giants during the sixth inning in San Francisco on Wednesday. “I’m still trying to find it,” Freeman said Tuesday night, after a rare 0-for-five performance in which he’d left five runners on base. After Muncy’s first home run in the fifth inning tied the score at 3 — erasing the early lead the Giants had built against Kershaw, who bemoaned the “soft” mentality he pitched with at the start of the game — Rogers ran into trouble by issuing three straight walks to lead off the sixth, including one to Chris Taylor that ended on a full-count pitch-clock violation. “I don’t want to put words in peoples’ mouths, but it felt like that was a big momentum switch for us,” Freeman said. “I’ve played a long time, and that’s gotta be up there for at-bats for me, during the course of a regular season.” In the course of this Dodgers season, at least, it might serve as an important early turning point — helping them capture not only a come-from-behind road win, but a newfound mentality to carry forward with them the rest of the campaign.
