At the plate: #Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas. In 41 chances, Rojas has ground into double plays 7 times this season (17.1%).

What a pro: #Dodgers Teoscar Hernández, hobbled and uncomfortable, still connects for a lead off hit vs #RedSox Payton Tolle. Running may be another story, though.

Always hoped to see Teoscar Hernández in a #RedSox uniform.

#RedSox Payton Tolle has thrown a first pitch strike 8 times in 13 opportunities.
