The Los Angeles Dodgers are not disappointing their fans, nor the analysts who consider that their lineup could be the most powerful in the Major Leagues in memory. The Los Angeles team won its seventh straight game on Monday, this time with an authentic Hollywood script.
Freddie Freeman, the star first baseman acquired in the winter, faced the Atlanta Braves for the first time in his career, with whom he played for 12 seasons before arriving in Los Angeles. In his first at-bat against his former teammates, with whom he won the World Series of 2020, Freeman homered in left-center field in the first inning to lead the Dodgers to a 7-4 win.
It was Freeman’s debut as a slugger with his new team. In an Atlanta uniform, he hit 271 home runs in a brilliant career that included the MVP trophy in 2020.
