"I think the thing that's probably most impressive is we're not used to having many switch hitters in our lineup, and for him to have no drop-off really makes it tough for opponents to navigate our lineup," manager Dave Roberts said. "He gives a quality at-bat every time up there. He can get a base hit, he values the walk and obviously, he shows he can drive the ball out of the ballpark."
"I don't know if I've ever done that before in my life," Edman said of his consecutive multi-homer games. "I feel like I've kind of gotten locked into a good routine in the cage, working on mechanics and having consistent movements in my swing and the results are paying off."
Edman made an impact early Wednesday, taking advantage of a changeup from Jordan Wicks in the first inning and driving it 374 feet over the left field wall from the right side of the plate. Later in the eighth inning, with the Dodgers up by a run, Edman stepped up again, this time from the left side, and launched a two-run homer off reliever Trey Wingerter.
