Betts claims first AL batting title with .346 AVG
Betts' 4-hit game BOSTON -- Mookie Betts can add his first career American League batting title to his various list of accomplishments this season.
In the final game of the regular season against the Yankees on Sunday, Betts drilled a single up the middle to lead off the bottom of the first. He finished the day 1-for-2 and came out to a nice ovation from the Fenway faithful when Tzu-Wei Lin ran out to replace him for the start of the third inning.
