The Dodgers are known for their star power, but on Thursday night, an unheralded hitter provided the insurance in their 4-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. In the seventh inning, former Dodgers top prospect Gavin Lux launched a two-run shot into right center field to push LA’s lead to four.
After the game, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman talked about Lux’s impact, despite hitting from the nine-spot all year.
“Gavin has been doing pretty incredible all year. He’s been sitting in the nine-hole, just hitting .300 all year playing a great second base.
