Dodgers' Kyle Tucker was booed in his first return to Wrigley Field since leaving the Cubs for the Dodgers in free agency this winter, despite receiving a warm welcome from a crowd of nearly 40,000-person crowd. Tucker, who was booing before his first at-bat, said he tried his hardest to play his best at Wrigleys and that he had a good run there. His previous season with the Cubs was disappointing due to injuries and a poor performance, which led to a 4-for-16, one-RBI performance in their NLDS series against the Brewers. Tucker signed a $240 million deal with the Dodgers this past January. Despite his low batting average and OPS both in his debut season with them, Tucker remains hopeful about improving his performance in his next game.
