Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers and Mookie
Digest more
Betts’ eighth-inning home run breaks a 4-4 tie and completes the sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Padres. It also extends a hot streak born of a different approach.
Betts’ expected stats are better than what he has actually produced, suggesting some unluckiness in the down year. His chase rate is up slightly from the norm, though still well above league average. His strikeout and whiff rates remain among the game’s best.
Mookie Betts hits a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Sunday.
It's safe to say that things haven't been going swimmingly for Teoscar Hernandez and the Dodgers with him at right field.
