Freddie Freeman crushes two of Dodgers’ five homers in 16-3 blowout of Rangers

LA Times  

Freddie Freeman connects on a two-run home run in the fourth inning of the Dodgers’ 16-3 win over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on Saturday. Freeman smacked a solo home run in the third inning, a two-run shot in the fourth and added two singles to go with his 19th career multihomer game, part of an 18-hit attack in Saturday’s 16-3 thrashing of the Texas Rangers in Globe Life Field. Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani and Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. “Freddie is already an elite player, one of the best hitters in the game, a guy who can hit lefties, hit righties, hit to all fields, values driving in a run, can get a base hit when you need it, takes a walk … there’s nothing he can’t do on a baseball field,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Right now, I’m not missing the pitches I should be hitting.” The beneficiary of Saturday’s outburst was rookie right-hander Bobby Miller, who gave up three runs and seven hits, including a Marcus Semien homer on his second pitch of the game, in six innings, striking out six and walking none, to improve to 6-1 with a 4.28 earned-run average in 10 starts.
