It began, as it always does, with one.
One pitch, just poorly located enough to score one run, on May one, at the top of inning one, from number one in the lineup.
In his first full season with the Dodgers, then-shortstop Dee Gordon took full advantage of Jhoulys Chacin and the ever-so-friendly confines of Coors Field to wallop his first career home run into deep right field.
And then there was peace until, 375 days later, he did it again; this time in Los Angeles, off of a 2-0 pitch from Marlins starter Kevin Slowey.
