NEW YORK—A couple of costly mistakes were all it took for Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers to put away the New York Mets.

Betts went 4 for 4 with a home run and the Dodgers took advantage of a high throw by first baseman Pete Alonso to beat the sloppy Mets 5–1 on Saturday night, July 15, for their sixth straight victory.
