Betts led off the game with a homer and Tony Gonsolin pitched six strong innings to run his record to 5-0.
PHOENIX — With a Comic Con-style “Phoenix Fan Fusion” event going on near Chase Field this weekend, downtown Phoenix is filled with people dressed as comic book superheroes.Betts homered to start the game Saturday – his 11th home run this month – and the Dodgers overturned an early deficit with two runs in the fifth inning to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 Saturday.
“He only got two hits tonight, though, so it was kind of a slow night for Mookie,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts joked.According to the Dodgers, Betts 11 home runs this month are the most by a Dodger in the month of May since Roy Campanella hit 12 in May 1953. And Betts’ 20 extra-base hits this month are the second-most in Dodgers’ history for May, trailing only Jackie Robinson’s 21 in May 1949.Tony Gonsolin has also been turning in some heroic performances.
“I feel like I’m throwing strikes when I need to and quality strikes, that is,” Gonsolin said of his recent run of three consecutive quality starts. Freddie Freeman walked in front of Turner after just missing a two-run home run when his drive went foul down the right-field line. He went to third on Turner’s single and scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Will Smith.
Freeman walked after that and was picked off first base, the Diamondbacks winning their second replay challenge of the inning and third of the game.
