RISINGAdrian Gonzalez, 1B: The Dodgers went nearly two months with spotty production from one of their middle-of-the-order bats, but Gonzalez has had a good trip (8-for-22, two doubles, a homer, five RBIs and four walks). The dramatic shifts teams have been employing on Gonzalez have had an effect, but it looks as if he's learning to deal with them and getting into a more comfortable groove. He plays an important role, the steady backdrop against which streakier hitters like Yasiel Puig best function.
