Padres going with 13 pitchers against Los Angeles Dodgers as right-hander Mike Clevinger joins the roster after sitting out NL wild-card series
Dixon, 30, on Monday was named the Pacific Coast League’s hitter of the month for September as he finished a 25-game stay with Triple-A El Paso in which he had 13 homers, 32 RBIs and a .371/.447/.866 batting line.
Called up to the Padres, the right-handed-hitting Dixon went 3-for-14 with a double, an RBI and five strikeouts against no walks while seeing time in right field and third base.
