The slumping second baseman shows signs of life, with two hits and two RBIs in the Dodgers' win over Washington
Back in the spring, Gavin Lux’s biggest problem was throwing the ball. Then the regular season started, and the Dodgers’ once highly touted infielder suddenly looked unable to hit. A month into his return from missing 2023 with a knee injury, Lux arrived at Nationals Park this week with just nine hits in 19 games, a .148 batting average that ranked 10th-worst in the majors among hitters with 50 at-bats, and a seemingly dwindling amount of time to reaffirm his place as a core member of the team.
In an 11-2 Dodgers win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night, however, Lux’s fortunes ever-so-slightly started to turn. In his first two-hit game since the opening week of the season, Lux scored in the second inning after going the other way for a single to left. He drove in two runs by pulling a ground ball through the infield in the fifth.
