Sunday’s contest was best enjoyed with Rockies allegiance aside. James Outman of the Los Angeles Dodgers had himself a debut.
“As soon as I took the swing, I blacked out,” Outman said in a postgame on-field interview with SportsNet LA. “I just wanted to relax and let what I’ve been doing for 20 years take over.”
His three RBI on the afternoon matched the Rockies’ entire run output. Through his home run, double and single, the Dodgers were able to find serious value out of their ninth spot in the batting order.
