The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series (on the road). In game one of the series, it looks like the Dodgers will walk away with a victory, as they lead 12-2 thanks to a 10-run seventh inning. The Pirates’ bullpen really just fell apart, but thanks to that happening, Dodgers icon and future Hall of Famer Freddie Freeman reached a career milestone.
In that huge seventh inning, Freddie Freeman notched career hit number 2,500! After he achieved that, manager Dave Roberts removed Freddie Freeman from the game. Freddie’s sights will now be set on getting 3,000 career hits.
