Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Mookie Betts is staying at shortstop for now as Dave Roberts confirmed he's not quite ready to make that move.

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

Betts’ expected stats are better than what he has actually produced, suggesting some unluckiness in the down year. His chase rate is up slightly from the norm, though still well above league average. His strikeout and whiff rates remain among the game’s best.

The Los Angeles Dodgers reasserted themselves in the National League West this weekend, and Mookie Betts was a huge cause of that success.

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.
