Dodgers find magic two nights in a row

If this continues, the Dodgers will have to start wearing top hats, tuxedos and have pretty assistants on stage and rabbits in a hat.

The magic show they have put on the last two nights has stunned the crowd in Milwaukee but left the Los Angeles faithful begging for an encore.

On Friday, Yasmani Grandal jacked a home run to right field in the ninth inning to tie the game at 1-1 and rookie Cody Bellinger launched the eventual game-winning home run to right as the Dodgers downed the Brewers 2-1 in 14 innings.

But that was only the warm up act.

Tonight, the Dodgers scored five times in the ninth inning to stun Milwaukee 10-8 with most of the damage coming from a line drive grand slam by Chris Taylor, the 25-year old utility player acquired last year from Seattle.

Taylor, who had only one home run in his brief major league career, has hit six this year as a reserve with  two of his dingers coming with the bases loaded.

Like most Dodger fans, I clicked off on the telecast when Milwaukee went up 8-4 on grand slam by Travis Shaw and a solo shot by Hernan Perez in the seventh inning.

I should have known better.

The Dodgers scored once in the 8th when Taylor doubled down the right field line, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a ground ball by Yasiel Puig.

In the ninth, fortune smiled on the Dodgers when Corey Seager walked and reached second when Milwaukee first baseman Jesus Aguilar tried to force him at second on a ground ball from Grandal. Aguilar's throw hit Seager in the back and the Dodgers had runners at first and second with one out.

Austin Barnes then rifled a single to left and Bellinger drew a walk, forcing in a run and making the score 8-6.

Taylor then lined a 2-2 pitch to straight away center field off Carlos Torres and the Dodger magic show had extended one more night.
