Question? Can the Dodgers regain their “Mojo” on the road in Houston? The answer is NO, if they continue to give up home runs like they did in game one! Dodger fans are hoping Yasiel Puig hits more than one homerun as he did in five times in game 2 and isn’t the one who wiffs again at the end. For the record Puig is blasting at a .444 rate at this writing, Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts told a cold world after the loss in game 2: “That’s the way we’ve have done things all year long. I know our players understand it. I know I believe in it. You just can’t really get caught in chasing results. You have to really believe the process. I know I do.” Both sides had their three run home run hitters. And Yesiel Puig finally smacked his second round tripper of the ‘Series. A two run job.(Wikimedia commons)
