The Dodgers squander a five-run lead, tie the score on a Trayce Thompson RBI triple, then Betts’ three-run home run in the eighth inning provides the difference in a 9-6 win.
LOS ANGELES ― Mookie Betts has started 73 games for the Dodgers this season. All 73 times, he has batted first. The obvious question is often asked of Manager Dave Roberts: why?
Betts also made a diving catch in the right-field corner to rob Joc Pederson of extra bases to end the game. “It’s a tough matchup, any left-hander for Mookie,” Thompson told reporters after the game. “It starts with Luxy that inning. That at-bat by Belli probably goes unnoticed, but it’s huge.” Dodgers starter Mitch White did not allow a hit for five innings, then was removed after allowing a single to Austin Wynns to lead off the sixth. White threw just 82 pitches before bequeathing a seemingly safe lead to the Dodgers’ bullpen. They began the day 195-1 when leading by five or more runs since the beginning of the 2018 season.
“It felt like everything was big and coming out of the hand early” in the St. Louis game, White told reporters. “ I was focused on creating the line, getting it down, especially with the slider, and I think it helped a little bit.”Giants starter Carlos Rodon got ahead of Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers’ third batter of the game, 0-and-2. Rodon then threw a 96-mph fastball down the middle of the plate and Freeman hit it over the fence just left of dead center field, a home run.
