LOS ANGELES (AP)—The Los Angeles Dodgers had the right hitter up with the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
Blake DeWitt’s second RBI single of the game lifted the Dodgers to a 6-5 comeback win over Cincinnati on Monday night, snapping the Reds’ six-game winning streak. The rookie is 6-for-6 with 12 RBIs in bases-loaded situations.
“With the bases loaded, you’re just looking to have a good at-bat, stay out of the double play make something happen,” DeWitt said. “You know the pitcher’s got to come to you because he’s not going to walk you. So if you’re patient, you’re going to get a good pitch to hit. It’s a good situation to be in. I figured he’d throw a two-seamer away, just because they needed a double play.”
