CHICAGO — James Outman is good at making first impressions.
He hit a home run in his first major-league at-bat and in his first game at Dodger Stadium. He doubled up in his first visit to venerable Wrigley Field, hitting two home runs, including a ninth-inning grand slam that broke a tie and sent the Dodgers to a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night.
The start of the game was delayed an hour for a storm that never really arrived, the rain delay featuring very little (if any) actual rain.
