Considered a top prospect prior to his MLB debut in 2024, Los Angeles Dodgers' outfielder Andy Pages has certainly lived up to the hype through his first two seasons. The 25-year-old slashed .272/.313/.461 with 27 home runs in 2025, and operated center field almost every game in those playoffs to help the Dodgers win back-to-back championships.
Pages has already proven himself a valuable asset to the Dodgers' dynasty. But after today's performance against the Houston Astros, he might be considered a franchise cornerstone.
Pages just experienced the first three-homer game of his young career. In total, Pages went 3-for-5 with six RBIs. The Dodgers won 12-2.
That's right. On his own, Pages would've been able to defeat the Astros today. That's mighty impressive for a talent as young as Pages.
Pages' first home run of the night came in the third inning off starter Lance McCullers Jr. The Dodgers were already leading 3-1, but Pages' dinger cemented a five-run inning for his team.
McCullers was pulled from the game after this home run.
Pages' second homer came just two innings later, with the Dodgers leading 7-1. This two-run home run came off reliever Jason Alexander.
Pages' third and final home run came in the top of the ninth inning, with the game already well in hand. It was so well in hand, in fact, that the Astros opted to put César Salazar, normally a catcher, on the mound. Pages took the second pitch of the at-bat to deep left field.
Pages had recorded two multi-homer games prior to today's performance, both coming in 2025:
So far in 2026, the Dodgers are 6-0 in games where Pages homers.
Pages is enjoying the best season of his career thus far. Not only is he on-pace to set new career highs in batting average (.336) and OPS (.938), but he's also nearly on pace for a 30-30 season.
As it stands, Pages is on trajectory for 35 home runs and 26 stolen bases. If he can reach that 30-30 threshold, Pages would become just the fourth Dodger in franchise history to accomplish that feat — Shohei Ohtani (2024), Matt Kemp (2011), Raul Mondesi (1997, 1999).
