It was a rough weekend for the Dodgers, as Mookie Betts suffered a hand fracture and is expected to miss extended time, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto was placed on the IL.
Shohei Ohtani had his second two-homer game this season, Tyler Glasnow pitched seven innings of three-hit ball and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-0 on Sunday as Mookie Betts left in the seventh inning after a pitch broke a bone in his left hand. 'It's a big blow.
Ohtani then got his 18th career multi-homer game when he connected on a first-pitch slider from Singer and put it over the right field wall. Freddie Freeman also went deep for the Dodgers. Bobby Witt Jr., who leads the majors with a .327 batting average, had one of Kansas City's three hits. The shortstop has hit safely in 26 of 28 games since May 17. Freeman followed three pitches later with a solo shot to right-center.
