A Quick Summary
With Dodgers’ starting pitcher, Rich Hill, going only one inning into Wednesday’s matchup with the Giants due to forearm tightness, the Dodgers’ bullpen found themselves responsible for twenty-four outs.
Nevertheless, the team was up to the task and held the Giants to two runs in the game while getting nine runs of support from the Dodgers’ offense. Although the team put up nine runs the night before as well, the Dodgers played a more effective game of offense on Wednesday, slashing .500 on the night with runners in scoring position.

Performances like this from players in the roster position that Taylor is in with the Dodgers is the reason why the Dodgers are arguably the best team in baseball. Taylor drove pitches from Drew Pomeranz into the seats on two separate occasions, ending the night with four runs batted in.
Taylor’s four RBIs in Wednesday’s matchup gives him a total of six on the series. Following this game, Taylor now totes an OPS of .889 against the Giants in 2019.
