    Dodgers' Miguel Vargas getting accustomed to changes

    It was only a few hours after Miguel Vargas returned to the major leagues last week when his journey to get back on the Dodgers' roster was put into proper perspective. Mookie Betts hit a leadoff home run in a 7-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday as Vargas cheered from the bench, the creases still in his brand new No. 27 Dodgers uniform after just being recalled. After the game, though, Betts lamented some of his defensive miscues like a throwing error and the failure to make the turn on a potential double play by dropping the ball. Again, Betts repeated the part most elite players like him left unsaid.
