Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:08:56 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Mookie Betts capped his return to Boston with a second straight three-hit game, hitting a two-run homer on Sunday to spark the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-4 victory over the team he led to the 2018 World Series title.Freddie Freeman also had three hits, and James Outman homered to help the Dodgers improve to 21-4 in August. Gavin Stone (1-0) earned his first career victory, following opener Caleb Ferguson to the mound and holding Boston to two runs over the next six innings before giving up homers on back-to-back pitches to start the eighth. Playing in Boston for the first time as a Red Sox opponent, Betts collected seven hits and a series of standing ovations over the three-game set, acknowledging the crowd with a wave of his batting helmet on Sunday before he led off the game with a single.Freeman doubled him to third, but Tanner Houck (3-8) got out of inning without allowing a run. Los Angeles scored one run in the fourth and another in the fifth before Betts cleared...

Jorge Soler hits 35th homer as Marlins beat Nationals 2-1 to avoid 3-game sweep

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:08:56 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Jorge Soler hit a two-run drive for his 35th homer, and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.Luis Arraez reached on a leadoff single in the third inning before Soler connected against Trevor Williams, giving Miami a 2-1 lead. It was Soler’s 19th go-ahead homer of the season, extending his major league lead.“Soli has been winning game after game for us and he won another game for us today,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said.Jacob Stallings had two hits for the Marlins, who had dropped six of seven to fall back to .500.“A good win for us that we needed badly,” Arraez said. “It’s been a tough second half for us. Everybody wants to win. We just need to continue playing hard.”Washington wasted a strong performance by Williams (6-8), who allowed five hits and walked two in a season-high seven innings. The Nationals had won five of six and 11 of 14.“The offense just couldn’t score any runs,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez sai...

Mookie Betts finally gets closure on Red Sox career, crushes former team in return to Fenway Park

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:08:56 GMT

Mookie Betts knew his first return to Boston since being traded by the Red Sox would be emotional. But he didn’t want it to become a distraction when he stepped onto the field at Fenway Park.So to help him focus on baseball, he leaned on some wise words of the late Kobe Bryant.“I have a job to take care of. Gotta separate business and emotion,” Betts said Sunday after he led the Dodgers to a series victory over the Red Sox. “I’ve learned from a couple people, especially Kobe. I got to talk to him right before he (died), he kind of explained that to me and I just put it into my repertoire.”Betts’ performance this weekend would have certainly made Bryant proud. The Dodgers outfielder was, naturally, instrumental in beating his former team this weekend, which he helped complete in Sunday’s 7-4 rubber game victory with a 3-for-5, three-RBI performance that included a two-run homer over the Green Monster. He finished the three games going 7-for-15 – which included sparking the Dodgers’ l...

Mets Notebook: Pete Alonso, Buck Showalter not motivated to retaliate after Braves righty plunked slugger

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:08:56 GMT

Pete Alonso was back in the Mets lineup one day after getting hit with a pitch right below the ear Saturday night by Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. With Alonso healthy, the argument over whether or not the Mets should enact some sort of retribution for the 84 times they’ve been beaned by other hitters has died down somewhat, but that can’t last long.The question the Mets are grappling with is intent: If it wasn’t intentional, why should they retaliate?“Good question,” Alonso said Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. “Beat ‘em the next day, or beat ‘em that night.”Fans might not want to hear it, but the Mets aren’t motivated to retaliate, and they’re not alone in this philosophy. An eye-for-an-eye doesn’t work when pitchers aren’t trying to hit people. The Mets insist that the blame lies in the game’s desire for velocity. Throwing 97-100 is the norm these days, so hard-throwing pitchers are ...
