After snapping a career-worst slump on Tuesday, Betts hits his first homer since July 5 to lift the Dodgers to a 5-1 win in Clayton Kershaw’s six-inning duel with fellow future Hall of Famer Max

Clayton Kershaw outpitched Max Scherzer in a matchup for the ages, and Mookie Betts homered and drove in three runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Friday night.

Betts has heated up a bit of late, but he's still at career worsts in average (.239), OBP (.309), slugging (.371) and OPS (.680), all by pretty wide margins. The Dodgers have won in spite of those struggles, though, and Betts wants to be part of what happens the rest of the way for the defending World Series champions.

The Dodgers shortstop tried to relearn the swing that turned him into an MVP and helped him slug 30 HRs in a season four different times.
