A clutch home run from Mookie Betts helped the Los Angeles Dodgers cap off a dominant weekend against the San Diego Padres.

Mookie Betts hits a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Sunday.

Earlier in the week, manager Dave Roberts issued a warning to outfielder Michael Conforto, who has been a bust for the Dodgers after joining the team this past winter. Conforto has a brutal .191 batting average on the year, which would easily mark a career low.

Magic Johnson is a big part of the Los Angeles professional teams. With the bullpen going down a rough patch, he has highlighted someone that has been a bright spot.

Then Betts rescued the Dodgers with the 394-foot shot to left-center off Robert Suarez. It was the shortstop’s 13th homer of the season and just his fifth since June. Betts had 25 in 2022 and 39 in 2023.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are beating the San Diego Padres when it counts, and it's especially sweet for an ex-Padres star.

Betts’ eighth-inning home run breaks a 4-4 tie and completes the sweep with a 5-4 win over the Padres. It also extends a hot streak born of a different approach.
