Hits long ball in win Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Taylor took Spencer Howard deep to lead off the fifth inning and give the Dodgers a 3-1 cushion. The 30-year-old is slashing .275/.389/.475 -- good for a career-high .864 OPS -- with nine home runs, 35 RBI, 48 runs scored and six stolen bases. He also owns a 32:60 BB:K, as he's taking walks at the highest rate of his career while striking out at one of the lowest rates of his career. The utility man should continue to see regular playing time, particularly if Cody Bellinger (hamstring) has to go on the injured list again.

Impact Taylor's streak of nine consecutive starts will come to an end while he heads to the bench for the first time since May 29. The versatile 30-year-old has settled into a regular role at the keystone of late, but he'll cede second base to Zach McKinstry in the series finale in Pittsburgh.

Drives in three Friday Taylor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact Remarkably, the Dodgers produced that offense on only four hits thanks to eight free passes from Atlanta pitching, with Taylor's bases-loaded two-bagger being the biggest blow in an eight-run fifth inning. The 30-year-old got the start at second base with Cody Bellinger back in the lineup in center field, but Taylor should remain a fixture in the lineup somewhere on the diamond as long as he maintains something close to his current career-high .405 OBP and .888 OPS.

Strong effort Monday Taylor went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact Taylor entered this game on a poor stretch, having mustered just two hits over his previous five appearances (2-for-16) but bounced back here with one of his best performances of the campaign. The 30-year-old also ended an eight-game drought without a homer and now has seven on the season, meaning he's just one bomb away from tying his total from 2020's shortened campaign.

Impact Taylor shifted over to left field in the contest and was responsible for the Dodgers' only runs of the night, belting a two-run homer to center field in the third inning.
