Mookie Betts, missed opportunities haunt Phillies in loss to Dodgers

Final Score: Dodgers 5, Phillies 3

There’s no shortage of former MVPs between the Phillies and the Dodgers, but on a night where Bryce Harper exited early, Clayton Kershaw didn’t pitch and Cody Bellinger sat, the remaining three — Andrew McCutchen, Albert Pujols and Mookie Betts — had to assume the burden.

McCutchen did his part with a solo home run. The problem for the Phillies: Pujols and especially Betts did theirs too, and in the end, it was enough for the Dodgers to pick up a 5-3 victory at Dodger Stadium and earn the series win.
