lead-off

The Dodgers needed just three batters to give the right-hander the lead with Shohei Ohtani drawing a lead-off walk, then scoring on Freddie Freeman’s one-out double into the right-field corner.

The junior center fielder and lead-off batter has come on strong, batting .426 with a team high 11 home runs on a team filled with pro prospects.

Pinch hitter Taylor Stpehens worked a lead-off walk and came around to score on Kaitlyn Terry’s one-out triple.

More changes may be coming, though New Hampshire, which has held the first presidential primary for more than a century, may very well hang on to its lead-off spot, which might not be a bad thing for Newsom.

“A lead-off walk, that never ends well,” Miller said.
