Betts had two hits in Tuesday’s first game against the Rockies (a 4-1 loss), then Freeman had his 27th home run and 58th double in an 11-2 win in the nightcap, but Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. seems …
“I don’t know, man. MVP is cool, but it’s kind of irrelevant,” Betts said Tuesday. “We play to win the World Series. Individual goals are really cool and some people play for that and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. But me, I play because I want to win. If I play good, cool. I would love to play well, but as long as we win, that’s all I care about.
Betts said he has “absolutely not” been tracking his numbers or Acuña’s over the past month and has limited his exposure to social media. But he does acknowledge that teammate and friend J.D. Martinez put the MVP on his radar this season. Freddie Freeman has already met some of his personal goals – career-highs in hits and stolen bases – while joining Betts as an MVP candidate. Freeman hit his 58th double and 27th home run of the season as the Dodgers handed the Rockies their 100th loss of the season in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader. Freeman and J.D. Martinez now have 98 RBIs each and could give the Dodgers four players with 100 RBIs in the same season for the first time in franchise history .
Caleb Ferguson made his seventh appearance as an opener in the first game and allowed three runs. Letting Pepiot make a traditional start would have been a better idea. He held the Rockies scoreless into the seventh inning before giving up a home run to Nolan Jones. Pepiot struck out nine in six innings and got 19 swings-and-misses – 16 on his changeup.“It’s really not a lack of confidence in him,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of using Ferguson in front of Pepiot.
