Dodgers Corey Seager has 4 hits, stolen base
- 9 years ago
Corey Seager's time is soon, if not now.
He's supposed to only be filling in for injured shortstop Jimmy Rollins, but Seager is playing with a quality that results in wins, along with sticky questions about keeping the job even when Rollins heals from a lingering sprained right index finger.
Manager Don Mattingly dismissed the notion before Saturday's 9-5 win.
But Seager then slugged his first Major League home run, went 4-for-4 with a double, stolen base, walk, three runs scored and three RBIs, still showing no signs of pennant-stretch panic that would be expected from a 21-year-old.
The home run came one pitch after a fan in Arizona garb reached to catch a Seager foul ball that left fielder David Peralta was about to catch.
Peralta was still fuming when Seager sent the next pitch into the left-field seats.
