Thanks to rookie James Outman's three RBI debut, the Boys in Blue finished the month of July with a 21-5 record.
James Outman homered on the first swing of his first big-league plate appearance and finished with three hits and three RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-3 Sunday and closed out July with 21 victories.
Outman became the eighth Dodgers player in franchise history — the fourth since the move to Los Angeles — to homer in his first career plate appearance, joining Jose Offerman , Garey Ingram and Keibert Ruiz . Outman had 21 homers in 90 games between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma this season before being promoted Saturday.
The 25-year-old Outman, with a 1-1 count, homered on a 95 mph fastball from German Marquez to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead after Cody Bellinger singled to open the third inning. The homer landed in the Dodgers' bullpen and was retrieved by Alex Vesia, who passed it to Outman in the clubhouse. "Everybody goes through their ups and downs," said Gonsolin, whose ERA is 2.41."Hopefully, this is just a quick down and we can turn it around going into the next start."
