Mookie Betts has fully recovered from a stomach virus that caused him to lose 15 pounds earlier this season. He demonstrated his return to form by hitting two home runs, including a crucial three-run homer in the 10th inning, helping the Dodgers secure an 8-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The win marked the start of the Dodgers' season at 4-0, their best since 1981. Betts humorously shared his struggle with weight recovery and his efforts to regain strength through constant eating, while manager Dave Roberts and teammates praised his remarkable performance and recovery journey.
Betts highlighted his recovery from a stomach virus, stating, 'I'm at 165 now, so another seven or eight pounds will help me a lot but 10 would be ideal.'
Manager Dave Roberts praised Betts saying, 'That was not on my bingo card. He just does some special things.'
Betts humorously remarked after hitting a home run, 'Right now I'm just having fun hitting 160-pound homers.'
Max Muncy commented on Betts' performance saying, 'We were joking around that that first home run he hit was probably his best hope...but he one-upped it.'
