(2020 Wild Card Series Game 2) and Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (1932 World Series Game 3). He and Taylor are the third set of teammates with multiple homers in a postseason game, joining Wil Myers and Fernando Tatis Jr. It should be noted Pollock went deep again later in Game 5 as well. His four homers in elimination games are the most ever in a single postseason.


#ATLANTA BRAVES SCORE YESTERDAY PLUS#
He's driven in nine runs in four elimination games this postseason (he had the walk-off two-run homer in the Wild Card Game and a sac fly in NLDS Game 4 against the Giants, plus 6 RBI in Game 5) the most ever by a Dodgers player in a single year. Incredible.Īll told, Taylor went 4 for 5 with three homers and 6 RBI in Game 5. All-time legends like Ruth, Reggie Jackson, George Brett, and Albert Pujols have hit three homers in a postseason game, but none did it with their team facing elimination. The only other Dodger with three homers in a postseason game is Enrique Hernández (Game 5 of the 2017 NLCS) and Taylor is the first player ever with three homers in an elimination game. He would have been the first player ever with four homers in a postseason game - there have only been 18 four-homer games in the regular season - but he'll instead have to settled for being only the 11th player ever with a three-homer game in the postseason (Babe Ruth did it twice). Taylor had a chance to hit a fourth home run as well, though he struck out in the eighth inning.
