2018 Topps Now - #362 - Dodgers Blast MLB Record 7 Solo Homers
"That's what we do. We hit homers."
Kiké Hernández is definitely right about that.
They hit seven solo home runs; including two each by Hernandez and Bellinger. Pederson, Muncy and Turner also hit homers.

Just like in the prior two anniversary sets, this seven-card game-giveaway set includes the exact same first six cards of current Dodger players -- Bellinger, Turner, Seager, Jansen, Taylor and Utley. The seventh card, meant to represent a Dodger from the decade, features Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda. I was certain they'd chose Kirk Gibson (especially considering all the pomp of circumstance from opening week), so Tommy's selections is a surprise to me.
Furthermore, I would like to extend a shout-out and a word of thanks to fellow blogger and fanatic Dodger fan Andy from the Stadium Fantasium blog. He was kind enough to pass along this set for my collection.
Take a look at the entire set below.

Seven homers! All solos!
The last one was hit by Justin Tuner in the 10th inning to win the game, 8-7. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
"I was just trying to hit the ball on the barrel," said Turner, who was 2-for-16 on the weeklong swing through Chicago and New York. "It's been a whole road trip of getting beat, getting jammed. What a day, a bunch of home runs and sweep a series against the Mets on the road. It will make for a happy flight going home."Photo above via Jon SooHoo/Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Insider.
