Mookie Betts Blasts 35th Home Run In Victory
1 year agoLos Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, three RBI, and two runs scored in a 7-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Betts stayed hot in this one, slugging his 35th long ball of the year in top of the sixth inning. He took Chris Murphy deep with Austin Barnes aboard to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead before he singled in Miguel Rojas to extend the Los Angeles lead to 6-2 in the eighth. Betts has simply been on fire over the last 30 games, putting up a ridiculous 1.214 OPS to go along with eight home runs and 26 RBI. He has fewer strikeouts (18) than RBI over that 30-game span, remarkable. Overall, the 30-year-old All-Star is slashing .315/.407/.611 with 35 home runs, 93 RBI, and 10 stolen bases over 483 at-bats. One more home run will give him a new career-high as he smashed 35 home runs in 2022 and has already matched that mark this season.
