2018 Dodgers Review: Brian Dozier
Photo by Harry How/Getty ImagesBrian Dozier was acquired by the Dodgers at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline as a solution to the struggling Logan Forsythe. As it would turn out, Dozier would have his own struggles.
Dozier made a strong impression in his first two weeks with the team. The 31-year-old hit a home run in each of his first two games in Los Angeles to help the Dodgers even a four-game set with the Brewers.
In his first 11 games (10 starts), Dozier was 10-for-35 with three homers. The second baseman drove in 11 runs while walking 10 times to give him an impressive 1.073 OPS and a slash line of .286/.444/.629 in a small sample.
