Plus: With clutch HR, Julio joins 30-30 Club
Very few leadoff hitters have put together a season like the one Mookie Betts is having. Really, very few leadoff hitters have put together a career like Betts'.
The All-Star hit a leadoff home run in the Dodgers' 11-8 loss to the Padres on Monday night at Dodger Stadium, his 12th leadoff homer of 2023 and the 48th of his career. He is now one shy of tying the record for most leadoff homers in a season, and he's tied for fifth all time. The long ball also gave Betts his 100th RBI of the season, making him just the third player in AL/NL history with at least 100 RBIs out of the leadoff spot. He added three more in the game, tying Charlie Blackmon's record for a single season. |
