Joc Pederson ties World Series extra-base hit record
LOS ANGELES — It’s Joctober and we’re all witnesses, even if the final game of the season is in November. Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson continued his October resurgence with yet another home run in Tuesday’s 3-1 win over the Astros, pushing the World Series to a Game 7.
Pederson gave the Dodgers an insurance run in the seventh inning against Joe Musgrove, his third of the series. The only Dodger to hit more home runs in a single World Series was Duke Snider, who clubbed four home runs in both 1952 and 1955.
“He continues to come up with big hits,” manager Dave Roberts said. “That was a huge hit by Joc. And he continues to amaze us and put together good at-bats.”
