Mookie Betts joins Phillies legend Chase Utley in World Series history

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts lived up to his star reputation in Tuesday’s rout of the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series. At the same time, he joined 2008 Philadelphia Phillies champion Chase Utley as part of World Series history.

Leading off, Betts went 2-for-4 with a walk and RBI, but you have to dig deeper to see just how well Betts performed in the series-opening contest.
