Kyle Tucker's First Season With Dodgers Coming Full Circle

Kyle Tucker went 2 for 4 with a two-run home run in Game 1, providing the winning margin for the Dodgers. Following a regular-season slump where he batted .233 with 17 home runs and 70 RBIs, Tucker surged over his final 17 games, hitting .333 with a 1.072 OPS. With Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman dealing with physical ailments, manager Dave Roberts may consider moving Tucker further up into the heart of the batting order to bolster the team's postseason power.
