Dave Roberts couldn't help but express a little satisfaction after his Los Angeles Dodgers took care of business.

Then Betts rescued the Dodgers with the 394-foot shot to left-center off Robert Suarez. It was the shortstop’s 13th homer of the season and just his fifth since June. Betts had 25 in 2022 and 39 in 2023.

The Padres must bounce back as they'll host the San Francisco Giants at home. San Diego are coming off sweeping the Giants this week, so they'll need to replicate what went right in that series to stay within striking distance of the Dodgers, who will face the last-place Colorado Rockies.
