Each time the #Mets stroll Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts makes them pay.
Cannot stroll an incredible participant for an incredible participant. That is simply self inflicted ache.

I do not assume you possibly can beat a crew with a lineup with Betts Ohtani Freeman Muncy Hernandez and Smith
The Mets appeared able to giving the Nationwide League’s finest a tricky collection after successful Sport 2, however the Dodgers have rapidly established their offense and now appear primed for a World Sequence look.
Los Angeles now has the prospect to finish the collection on the highway in Sport 5 on Friday.
