Enjoys huge offensive night Tuesday Taylor went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four total runs scored and three total RBI in an 8-6 win over San Francisco on Tuesday.

Impact Though catcher Will Smith played hero for the Dodgers with a walkoff three-run homer, Taylor set up the big moment with a monster performance at the plate. He scored the team's first run on a Max Muncy single in the opening frame, then drilled a solo homer to left field in the fifth. With the Dodgers down three runs in the sixth, Taylor closed the margin to one with a two-run, 393-foot long ball. Taylor is up to 13 homers on the campaign, and he was complemented that total with a .275/.377/.470 slash line, eight stolen bases, 52 RBI and a team-leading 68 runs.

The second baseman leads the Dodgers in runs (64) and stolen bases (8). He trails only Mookie Betts in combined home runs and steals, setting him on pace for his best season since 2017.

Tallies eighth steal Taylor went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact In addition to collecting two of the team's nine hits, Taylor also played three different positions in the 10-inning contest, starting at second base before shifting to left field and later playing center. That versatility is a big part of what makes the veteran so valuable to the Dodgers and was likely a factor in the first All-Star selection of his career. Taylor is slashing .274/.383/.453 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI, eight stolen bases and a 13.3 percent walk rate on the campaign.
