Dustin Ackley finds consistency at plate

Posted May 8, 2013
Dustin Ackley has been on a tear for two weeks now, and his batting average has climbed from .145 in mid-April to .248 heading into Wednesday's action. The former No. 2 overall Draft pick might be on his way to finding some offensive consistency. Ackley said part of his improvement at the plate has to do with a tweak in his mechanics and approach.
