DENVER — The pundits were right — adding a left-handed hitting right fielder before the trade deadline really can have an impact.
James Outman — who was still at Cal State Sacramento when Juan Soto hit his first big-league home run — made his first major-league start Sunday afternoon and hit a two-run home run in his first big-league plate appearance, starting the Dodgers on their way to a 7-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
The win finished one of the most successful July runs in MLB history.
