The Dodgers tapped into some unlikely power sources to erase a three-run deficit Friday night, Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor each hitting home runs in a score-tying fifth inning against the Kansas City Royals.
Then they turned to one of their fossil fuels to win it, as veteran first baseman Freddie Freeman, who turns 35 in September, stroked a two-out, run-scoring single to center field in the eighth inning to lift the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory in front of a crowd of 49,580 at Dodger Stadium.
Mookie Betts sparked the winning rally with a one-out single to left field in the eighth.
