Dodgers and Mookie Betts explode the offense to get out of slump
Mookie Betts responded to the support of Dodger Stadium with 3 hits and 3 runs scored in a victory over St. Louis
The Dodgers and Mookie Betts were in desperate need of a good offensive night and they got it this Tuesday with a 12-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The team managed to hit four home runs and Mookie Betts contributed three against a Dodger Stadium that expressed its support for the three-time World Series champion. Betts went 3-for-4 with a double, three runs scored, and a walk. The shortstop hadn't had a three-hit game since June 6, against the St. Louis Cardinals. "It's been a beautiful thing. Thank you to all the Dodger fans. It's super special. It's the first time I've received something like that." If I find myself in this situation, I know Dodger Stadium has my back, Betts said after the win.

Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández spark the Dodgers offense
One of the factors that could help the Dodgers offense is the return of Max Muncy. The third baseman had four hits, including two home runs and four RBIs.
Muncy reached 19 games of two or more home runs, tied for fourth place in most games of two or more home runs.
Teoscar Hernández also hit two home runs and drove in four runs. The Dominican has a streak of three games with at least one hit.
The Dodgers had not scored 10 or more runs in a game since June 22, when they defeated the Washington Nationals 13-7.
The Los Angeles team had one of the worst offenses in the month of July, but they hope to turn it around in August facing the last two months of the regular season.
Freddie Freeman remains key in the lineup, despite the fact that this Tuesday he did not connect hits. The first baseman finished with two RBIs thanks to two sacrifice flies.
Shohei Ohtani will be the starter this Wednesday in the final game of the series against the St. Louis Cardinals and maintain the three-game lead over the San Diego Padres.
