Mookie Betts gets three hits, including a home run, and the Dodgers win the series in Boston with a 7-4 victory on Sunday at Fenway Park.
His smooth glide around the bases after clearing the Green Monster. His lightning-quick closing speed on fly balls in right field. His confident demeanor and easy smile — the same one that endeared him to Boston Red Sox fans for six years, and dazzled them again for three days this weekend.But not even he could have guessed just how sensational he’d play.
For the series, he went seven for 15 with two doubles, four RBIs and only one strikeout in 16 trips to the plate. He was so good — and still so beloved in the place he started his big league career before being traded to the Dodgers in 2020 — that the Red Sox’s television network picked Betts’ home run and pregame ovation from the crowd as its broadcast’s plays of the game Sunday.First baseman Freddie Freeman had two doubles to match, and then surpass, Shawn Green’s previous Los Angeles Dodgers record for doubles in a season, finishing the day with an MLB-high total of 50.
Rookie pitcher Gavin Stone looked solid in his return to the majors, earning the win with a six-inning-plus, four-run outing of bulk relief. The Dodgers doubled the Red Sox’s hit total to pick up their eighth straight series win and improve to 21-4 in August.
