LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christian Walker put on another power display at Dodger Stadium, igniting the Arizona Diamondbacks in his first two at-bats with his 18th and 19th home runs in 42 career games at the ballpark.
“He’s playing at an unbelievable level, an All-Star-caliber level,” Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen said. “I hope Major League Baseball sees that and they find a way to put him on the (All-Star) team.”
While his teammates erupted, Walker crossed home plate with a placid expression that belied his jaw-dropping performance. The Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles 9-3 on Thursday, taking two of three games from the NL West leaders.
“He’s Babe Ruth against us,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
