LOS ANGELES—Max Muncy’s base hit with two outs in the ninth inning Tuesday night, September 19, scored Mookie Betts and gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 3–2 victory over the Detroit Tigers, extending their winning streak to five games.
Betts got aboard with a single to center for his third hit of the night. After Freddie Freeman lined out to center, Betts advanced to second after Will Smith was hit by a pitch. Muncy then lined a curveball from Alex Lange (7–5) into right field. Kerry Carpenter threw home on one bounce as Betts rounded third, but Betts beat the tag when his left hand crossed the plate.
