American Trayce Thompson had one of the most productive nights of his career this April 3 in the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, in a game in which he drove in eight runs, including three homers and a grand slam. .
The “Trayce Slam” came in the first episode with two outs. The count was 0-1 and Thompson took advantage of a shot across the middle to send the ball traveling between center and left field. In the bottom of the fifth he took it out again for another three runs, taking it out in the same area.
The last homer came in the eighth inning, although this time, without men on the pads.
This is how the actions went until the Dodgers won 10-1, also counting on the contribution of Cuban Miguel Vargas, who went 2-1 with two runs scored.
Thompson’s masterful performance was in line with that of starter Clayton Kershaw, who gave up just one run on four hits, zero walks and nine strikeouts on 76 pitches over six innings.
The losing pitcher was Madison Bumgarner who was on the mound for 4 innings, in which he allowed five runs and four hits. He totaled 85 pitches, walking four and striking out just two.
On the Arizona side, Christian Walker homered to left field to put the only run on the Arizona scoreboard in the second inning, when the team was already down by five scores.
Today the Dodgers will repeat their rival and on Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th they will play against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium.
