6 years agoBoston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts finished with three hits, three runs scored, and a run batted in during Friday's rain-delayed win over Detroit. Betts opened the game up with a leadoff double, which set the tone for the Sox in a 9-6 win. The 26-year-old picked up his 38th RBI on a sacrifice fly in the sixth, which capped off a three-run surge for Boston. The reigning American League MVP is off to a hot start in July, batting 8-for-14 with two doubles, eight runs scored, and RBI, four walks, and a stolen base. On the year, he's slashing .268/.388/.458 with 13 homers and 10 stolen bases. Betts goes into the All-Star break with hopes of returning to his MVP form in the second half.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
