There was a lot going on in Saturday night’s game in Miami, which was dominated by Rich Hill’s quest for perfection and manager Dave Roberts making a decision that made him sick to his stomach. But lost in the hoopla was Joc Pederson jump starting the offense in the 5-0 win, putting together a stellar sophomore season.
Pederson started the scoring on Saturday with a solo home run in the fifth inning against Marlins starter Tom Koehler, and added another solo shot in the seventh against reliever Brian Ellington.
It was the 16th multi-homer game by a Dodger in 2016, and the third time for Pederson, along with May 17 and June 14.
