Mookie Betts

Betts went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 3-1 win against Atlanta.

Sale was cruising through five scoreless frames, allowing just one hit until the Dodgers got to him in the sixth. Shohei Ohtani led off the frame with a base hit, then Mookie Betts put the Dodgers on top with a two-run blast. Tommy Edman followed with a single. That would be it for Sale. Edman would eventually score, ending Sale's night with three runs allowed and five strikeouts over five innings. The 36-year-old left-hander is in line to take on the Phillies in Atlanta next Tuesday.

The legend of Betts continues. He broke through to put the Dodgers on the board in the sixth inning, taking Chris Sale deep for a go-ahead, two-run shot. So much for his illness-induced weight loss possibly affecting his performance. The 32-year-old superstar is up to three homers in just 18 plate appearances.

Mookie Betts has bounced back from illness, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. is in a great spot with the Yankees.

Detroit didn't seem to notice a weaker Betts, who hit two home runs Friday, including a walk-off, three-run blast that lifted the Dodgers to an 8-5 victory in 10 innings.
