Mookie Betts & Freddie Freeman, a Dodgers duo
Results for National League MVP voting will be announced Thursday night, and even though Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. is the favorite to take home the award, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman have already pulled off a rarity in <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a> history.
Chris Taylor starts the comeback, Freddie Freeman walks it off
After a deflating loss on Wednesday night, and an early hit conceding four solo shots to start the scoring on Thursday, the Dodgers found enough energy to mount a comeback. Chris Taylor’s grand slam in the sixth inning tied it, and Freddie Freeman’s fly ball single in the 11th ended it, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 walk-off win over the White Sox.

The Dodgers have already seen five players make their debuts this season, and it begs the question to when their top prospect, Diego Cartaya, will become the latest Dodgers rookie to get his chance at the top stage.

You can ask my wife that. I’m very stubborn in my routine. I know how to get through 162 games pretty much healthy, able to conserve energy.”
