Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers were unable to emerge from their collective rut at the plate, which was largely to blame for losing the season series to the San Francisco Giants and sliding back into second place in the National League West.
Betts was just 2-for-12 with two walks and one strikeout during the three games at Oracle Park. The lone strikeout came in the ninth inning of Sunday’s loss, on what appeared to be a missed call that robbed him of what could have been a pivotal walk.
“It sucks, but he called it,” Betts said of home-plate umpire Tony Randazzo’s ruling.
