Joc Pederson hit a second home run in as many nights to help the Los Angeles Dodgers simultaneously clinch another series win and extend their modest winning streak to three games with a 6-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
After a deep drive to right-center field in his first at-bat of the game, Pederson cleared the fence in nearly the same spot as his walk-off home run to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0 in the second inning. The homer was Pederson’s eighth this season, putting him one shy of tying teammate Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich for the National League lead.
