Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect Alex Verdugo is hosting the club’s first Viva Los Dodgers event of the 2019 season. Festivities at Dodger Stadium begin Sunday morning at 11 a.m. PT, with auto gates opening at 10:40 a.m.
First pitch for the series finale between the Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates is set for 1:10 p.m. The family-friendly event will celebrate Mexico and feature live music, interactive games, autograph sessions and an on-stage interview with Verdugo.
He was a member of the Mexican National team in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, and Verdugo embracing those roots have endeared him to the Dodgers’ fanbase.
