What It Means:

The Dodgers jumped on rookie pitcher Mike Mayers in the first inning. LA hit two singles and drew a walk in front of Gonzalez, who smashed a grand salami to dead centerfield his first time up to bat. He ended the night 3-for-5 with two runs scored and four RBI's.

Gonzalez now has only nine homers on the year, but he is sporting a .284/.360/.412 slash line with 51 RBI's and a .333 wOBA over 400 appearances at the dish. Our models project him to post a similar .333 wOBA with six homers and 28 RBI's remaining this season.
