Mookie Betts' bat still carries weight as he hammers 2 HRs, including a walk-off to beat Tigers and lift Dodgers to 4-0

A nasty mystery illness left Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts nearly 20 pounds lighter and had many doubting he'd be able to make much of an impact this week for his team.

The Detroit Tigers didn't seem to notice a weaker Betts, who hit two home runs on Friday night, including a walk-off 3-run blast that lifted the Dodgers to an 8-5 victory in 10 innings. The Dodgers are 4-0.

Betts' first homer of the season broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning, as it barely made it over the left field fence at about 396 feet.
