LOS ANGELES — Rob Segedin sprinted from the outfield to the dugout, got frenzied high-fives from teammates and flew down the stairs toward the clubhouse.
"I don't even know if he showered," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Innings after getting his second major league home run — off ace Madison Bumgarner, no less — Segedin left to meet his wife, Robin, at the hospital for the birth of their first child, missing the end of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 9-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Segedin was called in from the outfield for a double switch in the eighth inning.
"After we made that double switch, he made a bee line to the hospital," Roberts said. "I'm not sure her current status, but she was getting close. He was moving pretty quickly."
Rookies Segedin and Andrew Toles each homered, with Segedin taking Bumgarner deep in the second inning.
Segedin and Toles homered for the second straight game after getting their first big league homers in a 19-8 win over Cincinnati on Monday.
Segedin posted a photo on Instagram of him and his wife in the hospital Monday while he was holding the ball from his first home run.
The 27-year-old debuted in the majors earlier this month after playing 561 minor league games. He nearly retired last year when the Yankees demoted him from Triple-A to Double-A.
Corey Seager, Justin Turner and Adrian Gonzalez combined for eight hits and four RBIs, and the banged-up Dodgers extended their NL West lead to two games on the same day they tied a major league record by placing their 27th player on the disabled list.
"It was a big team offensive effort," Gonzalez said. "Everybody swung the bat great. Just had good at-bats up and down the lineup. It was a lot of fun for us."
Bumgarner (12-8) is 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA in three starts against the Dodgers this season. Gonzalez hit a two-run single to center with the bases loaded against Bumgarner in the fifth to break a tie.
"I don't get concerned about that with Bum. There's nobody tougher than Bum," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "They just did a good job."
Kenley Jansen allowed a homer to Denard Span but still got his 36th save.
Seager, an MVP and Rookie of the Year candidate, extended his hitting streak to 14 games by going 3 for 4 with a walk and three runs scored. Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 16 games.
The Dodgers and Giants still play eight more times this season, including the last three games of the regular season.
Bumgarner allowed five earned runs and nine hits in five innings. He struck out seven, but the fifth inning was his demise. The Giants bullpen, which has struggled of late, allowed four runs.
Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda (13-7) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings and issued a career-high four walks while striking out four. He threw 103 pitches and managed to work his way out of trouble, albeit with the help of his defense.
With two outs in the fifth, he intentionally walked Brandon Crawford, then struck out Hunter Pence. He yelled and punched his glove before handing off to the bullpen.
The Giants' Angel Pagan extended his hitting streak to 19 games.
