Corey Seager is youngest Dodger to hit a postseason home run

The Dodgers got their 2016 postseason off to a solid start, scoring a run two batters in to their first game. That run was thanks to a home run by Corey Seager in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Nationals, becoming the youngest Dodger ever to hit a postseason home run.

Seager, who hit 26 home runs in his rookie campaign, took Max Scherzer over the center field wall for his first career postseason home run, in his sixth postseason game.

“He’s a special player, and has been great for us all year, coming up with big hits,” said Justin Turner, who also homered, on MLB Network after the game.
