Freddie Freeman Snaps Slump with Three Hits Amid Knee Soreness

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman snapped out of a 3-for-30 slump with a three-hit performance Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Dealing with right knee patellar tendinitis that caused him to miss three recent games, Freeman made a swing adjustment to get his front foot down earlier. The veteran bargained with manager Dave Roberts to play again Wednesday, avoiding an injured list stint as Los Angeles manages him day-to-day.
