Dodgers NLDS: Mookie Betts shifts focus away from wheel play
"I ran that play before. That play, it's not like it's a special play or anything. That's been around for forever. We just decided to run it in a big spot, and we did a good job with it. But, I mean, I think the group of guys, we just believe in each other. We trust each other and it's real easy to communicate."
"It's really easy to know and believe that your brother's going to do the right thing. So if you're in the right spot, he's going to put you in the best spot to succeed. So I think that's just kind of what's been shown out there."
The Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 2 of the NLDS 4-3 over the Philadelphia Phillies. Mookie Betts and Max Muncy executed a wheel play on a Bryson Stott bunt attempt after a Nick Castellanos double, with Muncy fielding and Betts covering third to tag Castellanos and prevent Stott from advancing. Harrison Bader followed with a pinch-hit single that would have tied the game if not for the out at third. Alex Vesia and Roki Sasaki closed out the inning and game. Betts expressed confidence at shortstop and emphasized trust and communication among teammates. The play proved pivotal in preserving the Dodgers' lead.
