LOS ANGELES - Rob Segedin sprinted from the outfield to the dugout, got frenzied high-fives from teammates and flew down the stairs toward the clubhouse.
“I don’t even know if he showered,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Innings after getting his second major league home run — off ace Madison Bumgarner, no less — Segedin left to meet his wife, Robin, at the hospital for the birth of their first child, missing the end of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 9-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Segedin was called in from the outfield for a double switch in the eighth inning.
