The Los Angeles Dodgers struggled to score runs in their first three games against the Milwaukee Brewers this series, where they’ve managed just seven runs in 29 innings during that span.
But in Sunday’s finale, the Dodgers have already surpassed that run total thanks to not one, but two grand slams, where they jumped out to a 9-0 lead over the Brewers.
Oh, and did I mention that it all happened within the first two innings?
With the Dodgers nursing a one-run lead in the first inning, AJ Pollock connected on a grand slam to give them a five-run cushion. Then Matt Beaty, who had an RBI single earlier in the first inning, hit another grand slam to give Los Angeles a 9-0 lead in the second inning.
Make that 2️⃣ grand slams for the Dodgers today 😮

And, as you can imagine, the Internet was having its fun with the Dodgers’ offensive resurgence.
