Gavin Lux

Hernandez gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the second inning with a single to score Gavin Lux. He drove Lux in again with a double in the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2. Hernandez has swung the bat much better as of late, but his .204/.264/.324 slash tells the story of how ineffective he's been for the most part.

Lux drove in both runs on a first-inning double and has now gone 7-for-16 (.438) since the All-Star break with two home runs and five RBI. It's obviously a small sample size, and he's hitting just .250 in the month of July, but Lux continues to play regularly against right-handed pitching, and his presence in a good lineup makes him worth a roster spot in deeper formats.

Gavin Lux stands to lose a lot when Mookie Betts returns, but his weekend performance against Boston could be part of a broader resurgence in his game.

All told, the 28-year-old hurler gave up six runs on seven hits over his five frames while striking out a pair of batters. After being staked to an early 2-0 lead, Crawford served up a solo homer to Freddie Freeman in the opening inning and then an RBI double to Gavin Lux. He would allow solo shots to Teoscar Hernandez, Gavin Lux, Austin Barnes and Shohei Ohtani before all was said and done. Crawford got nine whiffs on 77 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 23 percent. He'll attempt to bounce back as he carries a 3.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 112/29 K/BB ratio (117 2/3 innings) into a tough matchup against the Yankees on Saturday.
