The Dodgers players could have a career in masonry.
Los Angeles had nine extra-base hits including a home run by Chris Taylor as the Dodgers routed the rival Giants, 15-6, in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.
Four different Dodgers had at least three hits in the game as the Dodgers players pelted the brick wall in right field all day long.
Chase Utley finished 4-for-5 with three doubles and two RBI and Chris Taylor went 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI and four runs scored.
Cody Bellinger also recorded three hits, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored and Joc Pederson recorded his first four-hit game of his career, going 4-for-5 with 4 RBI as he fell a home run shy of the cycle.
Walker Buehler earned his first MLB win as a starting pitcher as he allowed just two runs on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts in five innings.
The Kentucky native made his second career start after making his 2018 debut in a no-decision against the Marlins on Monday.
