Dodgers: Mookie Betts’ Decision to Attempt a Stolen Base in Extras Costs Los Angeles

Saturday was a tough loss for Dodgers fans for a lot of reasons. Not only did the team give up multiple leads in extra-innings to lose, but they also lost Dustin May to an elbow injury.

One point of contention in the game came in the 11th innings after Will Smith’s 2-run triple. With the Dodgers up 2 runs, Mookie Betts tried to steal second base and was caught for the second out.

When asked what he saw on that play and the thought process that went into it, Mookie said he was trying to keep the Dodgers out of double-play trouble.
