Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Baez slammed a solo home run off Clayton Kershaw in the fourth inning for the Cubs' lone run. It was his second long ball of the series, and he recorded a hit in every game against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old is slashing .228/.267/.472 in 270 plate appearances. He leads the Cubs in home runs (18) and steals (nine); however, he ranks dead last in baseball with a 38.0 percent strikeout rate and has a National League-worst 3.3 percent walk rate.
