Popovich Aids Dodgers In Switch Hitting Comeback
Paul Popovich, traded from the Cubs to the Dodgers, has become a regular second baseman, hitting .280 and delivering fielding gems. He hit his first NL homer in a nine inning, sparking a win to extend the Dodgers’ streak to seven and move them to a strong spot. Dodgers manager Walt Alston praises his all around improvement and the trade partner Buzzy Bavasi calls it a good deal. Lefebvre’s return may impact Popovich’s role as the team solidifies its infield.
