The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped their Cactus League game against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night at Camelback Ranch, but there still were plenty of positives to take away from the game.
The Dodgers offense got in the bottom of the first inning, when Max Muncy singled up the middle with two outs. He then came around score on a two-run, opposite field home run off the bat of A.J. Pollock.
Signed to a four-year contract in the offseason, the home run was Pollock’s first with the Dodgers. It came with the 31-year-old batting in the cleanup spot, which was a change from batting leadoff as he’s done for much of the spring thus far.
