The way Mookie Betts has been swinging the bat lately is reminiscent of his best days as a Dodger. Betts drove in two runs and scored another pair in a four-hit showing as Los Angeles surged past San Francisco, 10-4, on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, setting up an opportunity to sweep the weekend series. In all-time head-to-head competition, the Dodgers hold a one-game edge -- 1,293-1,292 (and 17 ties) -- against their longtime rivals. In addition to Betts, Will Smith, Josue De Paula and Tommy Edman drove in two runs apiece. It was the fifth time this season -- and the second time this month -- that four or more Dodgers collected multiple RBIs in a game. "Some guys are hitting, some guys are not," Betts said. "I think that’s the beauty of the lineup. You get a couple guys going, and a couple guys here can carry a team, and you never know. You just never know who's going to be, it's different guys every day." Days earlier, before the Dodgers clinched their 13th NL West title in the past 14 seasons, manager Dave Roberts assessed where his team stood with the postseason fast approaching. He praised his pitching staff's performance and noted the improvements on defense and baserunning. But he also pointed out an area of growth: the offense, which has been inconsistent for much of the season.
