Friday night was disappointing for Dodgers fans in a lot of ways. Not only did they miss out on the opportunity to gain a game on the Giants in the West, but they didn’t make it out healthy. Mookie Betts once again came out of the game when his hip pointer issue flared up again.
The injury happened when Betts went first to third early on in the game. The Dodgers would eventually replace him on defense in the game, and Dave Roberts clarified it as a precautionary move and one that suited them defensively.
Despite the loss, the main focus for Dodgers fans is on the health of Betts at this point.
