Joc Pederson broke his franchise record that was set last year and slugged two home runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-4 victory and series win against the San Diego Padres. It helped ease some of the concern with Corey Seager, who was removed because of hamstring tightness.
The Dodgers deemed it a precautionary decision, though it’s the same left hamstring Seager strained and forced him to spend one month on the 10-day injured list. Seager went 1-for-2 with an RBI double to extend his hitting streak to a season-best 10 games.
He adds to the growing list of injury concerns for the Dodgers as the postseason draws near.
