ANAHEIM, Calif. - Scott Schebler led off the top of the first inning with a home run on the first pitch of the game Wednesday night in the Los Angeles Dodgers's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

Schebler, a Cedar Rapids Prairie grad, was promoted to the Dodgers from Triple-A this month when Major League teams were allowed to expand their rosters to 40 active players. It's been much more than a token promotion for Schebler, who has become an important player for the Dodgers as they move closer to clinching their division title.

Schebler has belted two home runs since his promotion and is batting .357 (5-for-14) this season after going 1-for-4 Wednesday. He was the starting left fielder in Wednesday's game.
