Outman has four hits, including two home runs to lead all rookies, and Muncy has his third two-homer game in the past two weeks.
CHICAGO — It snowed briefly Saturday morning at Wrigley Field, the flurries floating down at an angle thanks to the usual blustery conditions there. By game time, the temperature sat at a classic April-in-Chicago 41 degrees.The rookie outfielder continued his hot start, hitting his sixth home run and driving in another run with a single, and Max Muncy had his third two-homer game in the past two weeks as the Dodgers rebounded from Friday’s near-perfect game to beat the Chicago Cubs 9-4.
For the season, Outman is batting .314, first among MLB rookies with more than four at-bats. The home runs were his sixth and seventh, most among rookies, most in any calendar month by a Dodgers rookie since Will Smith hit eight in August 2019, and the most by a Dodgers rookie in the opening month of the season. Outman leads major-league rookies in RBI , runs scored , slugging percentage and OPS .
Coming off a start against the New York Mets last week in which he let two leads slip away, Dodgers starter Dustin May didn’t look to be in form to make this one stand up either when he loaded the bases before retiring a batter in the first inning.
