James Outman, the Dodgers' center fielder, breaks his season-opening slump with a game-winning solo home run in the team's 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins.
After two straight days out of the starting lineup, then two straight strikeouts to start his game Monday night, James Outman ’s season-opening slump appeared to reach a nadir entering the seventh inning at Target Field. Then, with one hanging slider and one cathartic swing, the Dodgers ' second-year center fielder finally found a reprieve.
It didn’t mean Outman had the biggest night offensively, not after Shohei Ohtani recorded his fifth-straight multihit game by doubling twice early and homering for the third time this season later in the seventh inning. But, following a troubling four-for-34 start, Outman’s contribution might have been the most important development — not only to the final score, but also the trajectory of what has been a slumping second season for him.
