Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts punished Auckland track and field with a punishing hit after track and field was intentionally walking Shohei ohtani.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mookie Betts punishes track and field for Shohei Ohtani Walk’s decision<\/h2>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished the final game in a dominant way, winning 19-2, resulting in a 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the three-game series.<\/p>\n

It was a rather impressive turnaround for the Los Angeles franchise after scoring five points in eight innings to win the second matchup 9-3.<\/p>\n

However, the main topic from the third and final match between the two came after track and field intentionally chose to walk Shohei ohtani in seven innings.<\/p>\n

This means Otani was sent to the first base instead of trying to hit the ball, and the next pitch is heading towards Dodgers player Mookie Betts.<\/p>\n

Otani was on fire in the match as the best paid player in MLB hit two home runs during the Dodgers’ 19-2 victory to return to his sparkling best.<\/p>\n

So, at first, this looked like a smart play in athletics as Betts didn’t hit from his last seven attempts, but the 32-year-old chose the best time to change it.<\/p>\n

He doubled over two runs and seemed to inform the dugout that they had made a mistake.<\/p>\n

His strike earned a cannon from the bat with a slight right pronoun, and two more runs on his side, and as he rounded the base he could hear him scream “Yes!”<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke about Mookie Betts’ recent poor form and how moments like this are the sparks he needs to bring his 32 to his best.<\/p>\n

Roberts said: “Sometimes, unlock Betts with that kind of player? He doesn’t have grim, but he takes notes. I get it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
