MOOKIE'S MASTERPIECE POWERS DODGERS TO 10–4 ROUT!
Betts goes perfect 4-for-4 with three doubles as L.A. hammers the Giants to push their record to 95–60.
⚾ 🌟 πŸ’™
Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles Β· Final: Dodgers 10, Giants 4

Mookie Betts was absolutely UNSTOPPABLE on Saturday night in Los Angeles. The Dodgers superstar ripped four hits in four at-bats β€” including three doubles β€” and drove in two runs and scored twice, leading L.A. to a convincing 10–4 demolition of the rival San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers' offense was clicking on all cylinders, and the crowd at Dodger Stadium went wild every time Mookie stepped to the plate.

The win pushes the Dodgers to a spectacular 95–60 record, best in all of baseball. They lead the National League West by a whopping 17.5 games β€” yeah, this division race is basically OVER. Meanwhile, the Giants fall to a tough 64–91 on the year. Los Angeles is built for October, and games like this show exactly why everyone should be afraid of them come playoff time.

With just a handful of weeks left in the regular season, the Dodgers are putting the finishing touches on what could be one of the best records in MLB. Keep watching Mookie Betts β€” when he's locked in like this, he's one of the most fun players in baseball to watch. Four hits, three doubles, zero outs. That's just ridiculous!
