CHICAGO – Shortstops who hit like that can really make a lot of money.
Making his first career start at his “dream” position, Mookie Betts drove in three runs with a home run and a double as the Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-3 Sunday afternoon.
Back-to-back wins on Saturday and Sunday were the Dodgers’ first consecutive wins since a three-game winning streak against the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks April 3-6. That two-game surge moved the Dodgers over .500 (12-11) for the first time in over a week.
