Alex Freeland was the entire Dodgers offense for a second straight day with a solo home run in Saturday’s 5-1 loss. The Dodgers had only five hits on Friday and Saturday combined, their first time getting held to that low of a two-game hit total in four years.

Rushing's homer on a full-count slider from Jeremiah Estrada was only his fourth hit off a breaking ball in 34 at-bats.
