With his solo home run off Cristhian Martinez of the Braves in the fourth inning tonight, Andre Ethier became the 24th player in Dodgers history to hit 100 home runs, and 15th Los Angeles Dodger to do so. Ethier broke his tie with his current first base coach Davey Lopes on the Dodgers' all-time home run list, and is now tied with Steve Yeager, noted cinematic third base coach.
