Joey Gallo had his True Dodger Moment on Wednesday night, blasting a pinch-hit, three-run home run in an 8-5 win over the Twins. And he is off to a decent start in Los Angeles on the whole. Gallo is batting a robust .267 (4-for-15) in blue with a double and two runs. A whole month of production in a few days.
Anyway, Los Angeles Times columnist Helene Elliott wrote about Gallo after the game. Her piece touched on all the key themes you would expect. Gallo took responsibility for his historic failings with the Yankees, excitement about a fresh start, he can grow a beard again, some mechanical tweaks, not doing too much, the support of his manager and teammates, et cetera.
