Shohei Ohtani’s Shocking Power Surge and Dalton Rushing’s Explosive Debut Ignite Dodgers’ Crushing Victory Over Athletics
“He just didn’t look like a player that was making his debut,” Roberts said.
In the second inning, Rushing got a three-run rally started by drawing a leadoff walk. In the third, he worked a full count before blasting a belt-high sinker through the infield at 110 mph off the bat, the first domino in what became a seven-run outburst. In the eighth, he tacked on another base hit when a ground ball to first was deflected.
“It’s been something that obviously I wanted to do at a very young age,” Rushing said. “Never in a million years did I imagine it would come with a team like this. So that just makes it that much more special … And getting here and being able to scratch a couple across like that, get them out of the way, now it takes a little pressure off your shoulders.”
