Mookie Betts Blasts Dodgers to Victory in Ohtani's Anaheim Return

Betts' Homer Propels Dodgers to 5-2 Win

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts launched a solo home run in the seventh inning to guide his team to a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.

Ohtani Returns to Anaheim

The game marked the highly anticipated return of two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani to Anaheim after he spent the previous season with the Angels.

Ohtani started on the mound for the Angels and pitched 4.2 innings, striking out six batters but allowing three runs, including Betts' home run.

Dodgers Dominate Early

The Dodgers took an early 3-0 lead in the first inning on a two-run homer by Max Muncy and an RBI single by Will Smith.

The Angels responded with a run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Mike Trout.

Betts' Heroics

Betts' solo home run off Angels reliever Mike Mayers proved to be the decisive blow in the game.

The Dodgers added another run in the eighth inning on a single by James Outman.

Angels' Late Rally Falls Short

The Angels attempted to rally in the ninth inning, scoring a run on a wild pitch by Dodgers reliever Phil Bickford.

However, Bickford eventually closed out the game, securing the victory for the Dodgers.

Dodgers Extend Win Streak

The win extends the Dodgers' win streak to five games and improves their record to 26-19.

The Angels, meanwhile, fall to 28-18 and see their three-game win streak snapped.
