Lux’s OPS has climbed from .562 at the All-Star break to .704 heading into Tuesday’s game, and he’s helped the Dodgers hold off the hard-charging Padres and Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers’ Gavin Lux gets a sunflower seed shower as he returns to the dugout after hitting a solo home run during the seventh inning of their game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. It was his seventh home run in the past 33 games as he continues a torrid six-week stretch. LOS ANGELES — The home run wasn’t a thing of beauty and was hardly a difference-maker, but it definitely marked the start of a trend.
Lux was even lifted for a pinch-hitter in his next plate appearance, but that home run marked the turning point of an offensive onslaught by the second baseman that has carried on for six weeks. “We’ve needed every bit of that performance,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Lux’s contribution on Monday. “I expect him to keep going because I think this is who he is now.”
Muncy said his goal is to continue stringing together productive plate appearances, hit the ball hard when the opportunity arises and be an example for the younger players.
