Freeman’s 300th career home run is a grand slam, but Julio Urias gives up four home runs in one inning and the Dodgers never quite recover in a 16-8 loss.
ST. LOUIS — The Dodgers’ pitching staff took a big hit with Dustin May’s injury on Wednesday. Thursday night, they gave up too many of them.
Freeman is the second of those 155 to reach the milestone with a grand slam, joining Ruben Sierra who did it in 2004. And he is the fifth player to reach 300 career home runs while playing for the Dodgers. He joins Duke Snider , Gil Hodges , Gary Sheffield and Adrian Gonzalez .Thursday was the fifth time in his past seven starts that Urias has allowed multiple home runs. The Cardinals’ saturation bombing moved him into a tie for the major-league lead with 14 homers allowed this season.
Nolan Arenado popped out for the second out of the inning but Juan Yepez, Nolan Gorman and Paul DeJong hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in a span of 12 pitches. Phil Bickford was first up and he gave up three more runs including two on a home run by Arenado that made it 9-3 in the fourth inning. And Dodgers manager Dave Roberts took Mookie Betts out of the game.
