Dodgers walk away with doubleheader sweep, beat Cubs behind Mookie Betts’ five RBI
CHICAGO – They bill Wrigley Field as “The Friendly Confines.” Clayton Kershaw has never found it to be so.
In the nightcap, the Dodgers walked away with a sweep thanks to Mookie Betts’ five RBIs in a 6-2 win. “I’ve always been kind of a guy who gets some first-pitch outs when it’s going okay,” Kershaw said. “I do throw strikes, I think for the most part, and guys are trying to attack me early. I do throw a lot of first-pitch fastballs so at times, you get some early outs that way. Might give up some first-pitch hits here and there. But overall, I think it’s better to be aggressive and sometimes they hit it at guys.
Hoerner casually turned and started trotting to second base, assuming the ball had gone out of play. It hadn’t. The ball had bounced off the wall in front of the photo well near the Dodgers’ dugout. Freeman retrieved it and threw to second baseman Gavin Lux who tagged Hoerner out to end the inning. Betts was referring to a two-homer game in San Diego two weeks ago – followed by a four-strikeout game the next day.
