Mookie Betts has another monster day to lead Dodgers past Red Sox

LA Times  

Dodgers star Mookie Betts watches the flight of his two-run home run in the sixth inning Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. “I’m sure he’s going to sleep well tonight,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It was fun to run out to right field at Fenway again.” Given his recent level of play — Betts leads the majors in August with a.457 batting average, 1.303 on-base-plus-slugging percentage and 18 extra-base hits — it was impossible to not draw parallels to his memorable 2018 Red Sox season. “I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be cool,” Betts said when asked if winning another MVP is a motivating factor for him.
