A six-game road trip for the Los Angeles Dodgers against National League East opponents Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves has also doubled as a homecoming of sorts for Edwin Rios and Matt Beaty, and both have taken full advantage of it.
Rios appeared in all three games at Marlins Park, making one start and going a combined 4-for-7 with two home runs and three RBI. A former star at Florida International University, he played in front of family and friends. That made Rios’ first career home run(s) all the more memorable.
A similar experience has now been afforded to Beaty throughout the weekend.
