Best Dodgers Plays Of 2021 Season: No. 2, ‘1+4’ Home Run Comeback

The Los Angeles Dodgers tied a franchise record with 106 wins this past season, and arguably their most exciting one came on Sept. 29 when they hit four home runs in the eighth inning to complete an 11-9 comeback victory over the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium.

The offensive barrage ranked No. 2 on the list of best Dodgers plays from the 2021 season by the DodgerBlue.com staff.

Trailing 9-5 in the seventh inning, Mookie Betts began the comeback by belting a solo home run into the left-field pavilion.

After David Price quickly worked his way through the top of the eighth, Max Muncy and AJ Pollock combined for back-to-back home runs. Two batters later Cody Bellinger tied the game with a line-drive homer to right field.

Justin Turner followed with a pinch-hit double, and Corey Seager punctuated the rally with a game-winning two-run home run.

According to STATS LLC, the Dodgers became the first team in MLB history to hit back-to-back home runs, and later game-tying and game-winning blasts all in the same inning.

“That was a crazy inning,” Bellinger said after the dramatic win. “Maybe the craziest I’ve been a part of. … I don’t think anyone expects that, to be honest, but that’s the kind of talent that we have.

“The lineup is really deep and it was a crazy inning. Not many words can describe it. It’s good to be a part of it. That was a huge momentum shift.”

Seager added: “To hit that many homers, consecutive, hit a double, hit another homer, score five runs, go up by two. That’s a whirlwind in a really short time.”
