LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) — Trayce Thompson has a major league highlight of his own to go with all the ones created by his brother, Klay Thompson of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors.
The outfielder connected for a pinch-hit, solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.
Thompson recently shaved his head in a nod to superstition.
“It’s working, so probably cut it again tomorrow,” he said, smiling.

Thompson fought back from an 0-2 count against Hansel Robles (0-2) to get to 2-2 before homering into the left-field pavilion, snapping the Dodgers’ three-game skid against the Mets.
