2018 Topps Now -- #551 -- 21-Run Outburst Sets Multiple Records


You just knew last night's offensive explosion would garner a Topps Now card. Unfortunately, it only features Justin Turner, Manny Machado and Cody Bellinger -- who had just launched a grand slam -- on the front. If you ask me, a team photo would have been just fine since contributions were had from everyone. Per Austin Laymance at MLB.com:
"There's no letdowns one through nine [in the batting order], which makes an offensive team really good," said Dozier, who was acquired from the Twins earlier this week. "Lots of guys who can do a lot of different things. It's not just 'sit back and hit with power' and that kind of thing. It's running the bases right and speed mixed with power."
Go here to check it out and order. Per the description written on the reverse.
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers in a commanding 21-5 victory. The 21 runs set a record for most runs scored by any team at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers hit seven home runs, which tied them for their second most since 1920. They also had four different players tally four-plus RBI night in a game for the first time since the RBI became an official stat in 1920.
