For the second time in three years, Mookie Betts has won free tacos for America. 🌮

Taco Bell's annual "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion has been a, setting Twitter ablaze anticipating the first stolen base of the World Series – which earns everyone a free Doritos Locos taco.

The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder stole second base in the fifth inning of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, two years after his steal in the 2018 World Series triggered the freebie. Betts was then a member of the Boston Red Sox, facing the Dodgers. An inning earlier, fans – and the announcers – thought the tacos were in the bag when the Dodgers' Chris Taylor slid safely ahead of a tag into second base. However, it was deemed a wild pitch rather than a stolen base.

Betts would go on to swipe third base in the inning as the lead runner in a double steal with Corey Seager. With that, the Dodgers became the first team to steal three bases in an inning of a World Series game since 1912.
