After a slow start to the season Joc Pederson has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence since returning from the concussion disabled list. Pederson’s latest exploits was a three-run home run provided insurance for the Los Angeles Dodgers in their win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
That Pederson’s late-game hit extended the lead was key, but it was more noteworthy in that it came off Jose Alvarez. It was Pederson’s first home run off a lefty this season, and eighth overall.
He attributed some of the success to taking batting practice from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, a left-hander.
