Betts sets 'remarkable' record with 105 RBIs as a leadoff hitter

LOS ANGELES -- Mookie Betts hit a two-run double in the eighth inning on Saturday night, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder 105 RBIs, the most ever by a leadoff hitter.

During a 7-0 victory over the rival San Francisco Giants, Betts doubled to center off San Francisco's Ross Stripling, scoring Austin Barnes and David Peralta and extending the Dodgers' lead to seven runs. He doubled in the seventh, too, and walked twice for the NL West champions.

Entering the game, Betts had been tied with Charlie Blackmon of the Colorado Rockies at 103.
