Life is not easy when you reside beneath the Mendoza line. On June 6, Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe sunk to .198. During the next two weeks, with the exception of a one-hit, three-walk outing in Cleveland, he ended every evening still hitting less than .200.
In the Dodgers’ 8-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, Forsythe appeared to show signs of recovery. He recorded his first multihit game in June. He supplied a two-run homer against soft-tossing veteran Bronson Arroyo. It was his second home run as a Dodger, and it allowed him to feel the satisfaction of success after weeks of tweaking his swing.
