The Los Angeles Dodgers left for a season-long nine-game road trip spanning three cities and two countries hoping to break out of a funk that saw them drop three consecutive series to sub-.500 teams at home.
The Dodgers returned home early Thursday morning outscoring their opponent 53-19 and going 7-2 against the Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, and Arizona Diamondbacks. The road trip proved that their less-than-outstanding homestand might have been a fluke.“They expect us to hit homers every at-bat. It’s like we’re not humans.
“It’s a silly game. You’re going to have ups and downs no matter who you are. It’s inevitable. Remember, this game is based off failure, not success. It’s good to have those expectations though. The guys we have in here, the coaches, we have a lot of confidence.on the road trip was Betts, who had five multi-hit games with a .512 on-base percentage. He was named the National League Player of the Month by Major League Baseball on Friday and should be considered an early favorite for the N.L.
The most impressive part of Betts' season so far is that he's doing it all while learning a new position at the highest level. He looks like he's been a shortstop his entire career.“he really raised his level of play. Certainly, right now, he’s an above-average shortstop. I grade him out as a solid B-plus. It’s hard to imagine that given where he started. It’s really, really impressive.
