Cedar Rapids Prairie grad Scott Schebler helped Clayton Kershaw win a ballgame for the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night.

Schebler hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to break open a tight 2-1 game and give the Dodgers a 4-1 victory over Colorado.

Schebler, 24, has belted three home runs since being promoted to the Dodgers in September. He is hitting .261 with four RBIs, five runs and two stolen bases.

Schebler played left field and hit eighth in the lineup Monday night. He went 1-for-3 with a walk in addition to his two-run homer.

The Dodgers picked Schebler in the 26th round of the 2010 draft from DMACC. The Dodgers are racing to the playoffs with an 83-60 record and Schebler is making a strong bid to make their 25-man playoff roster.
