Betts’ sixth inning blast was both the last run the Dodgers would score and the last one they would need as they clung to a 2-1 lead through the late innings and a lengthy rain delay. He turned on a fastball from Grant Holmes and now has eight hits and nine RBI over his last five games. This could be the beginning of a serious hot streak for Betts.

Jesús Sánchez got turned around in center field on the triple, which really ought to have been an out. Still, the triple did travel 389 feet, which is the second farthest Betts has hit a ball this year. It was Betts’ second extra-base hit in two weeks and eighth of the year. At .250/.339/.407 through 28 games, he’s still looking for his first hot streak this season.

Betts was mired in a 1-for-22 slump before finally breaking through in this game. He briefly tied this game in the fifth inning with a double off Matthew Boyd before Teoscar Hernández brought him home as the go-ahead run with a home run. Yet, the Dodgers’ bullpen promptly blew their lead. There was an inkling of concern with Betts stuck in his cold spell and not having a multi-hit game since the first week of the season, but he’s obviously not someone to worry about.
