Freese went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Freese's blast was a 424-foot first-pitch rocket off of Phillies reliever Cole Irvin to restore a one-run lead for the Dodgers at the time. Freese is hitting .280/.416/.537 with five homers, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored over 82 at-bats this season. Freese has hit safely in his last seven games, going 9-for-18 with two homers and seven runs in that span, but he will likely be the one who loses playing time when Justin Turner returns from a hamstring injury.

He has also posted a .393 on-base percentage because of 18 walks versus 20 strikeouts. Freese is batting .239 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs in 71 at-bats.
