The Dodgers overcame early mistakes before late heroics from Mookie Betts, Michael Busch and James Outman carried them to a series win over the Padres.
Dodgers star Mookie Betts rounds the bases after hitting a tying home run in the ninth inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Sunday.
The former most valuable player knew what would be coming next, preparing for a trademark sinking fastball from the long-haired, left-handed reliever. “There’s nothing like it,” Busch said of his first game-winning hit at the major league level. “It’s pretty sweet to help this team get a win, especially in a place like this.”
