Kosuke Fukudome goes three for three with a walk against the Pirates in a 5-3 Cubs win. Fukudome batted almost exclusively against right-handed pitchers, 272 against righties, only 28 against lefties. He’s hitting very well with the platoon advantage, but selective use against lefties gives him very good averages in that situation as well. One of his doubles came off Wil Ledezma, a lefty, today. Proper use of Kosuke is getting the Cubs better production from their outfielder.
