The Dodgers 14-7 also moved back into sole possession of first place in the NL West.Anthony Rendon homered in his fourth consecutive game for the Angels. Rendon also drew two walks from Kershaw 2-1, but he was the only Angels hitter to reach base against the Dodgers longtime ace.Kershaw struck out six and improved to 7-2 in his career against the Angels while decreasing his interleague ERA to 2.23 the lowest in major league history among pitchers with at least 15 starts.The left-hander also retired Mike Trout three times, dropping the three-time AL MVP to 2 for 16 in his career against Kershaw, including a current 0-for-14 skid since 2014.Bellinger, the other reigning league MVP in this matchup, broke out of a season-long slump with his 12th career multi-homer game, connecting in the sixth and eighth innings. Bellinger headed to Anaheim in a 4-for-26 slump, and he hadnt homered since Aug. 3.Tommy La Stella had a two-run single in the eighth for the Angels, who have lost five of seven.

Edwin Rios doubled and scored on Corey Seagers groundout in the seventh.Bellinger connected again off Ryan Buchter in the eighth.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: C Will Smith sees mild improvement in his stiff neck, but still missed his second straight game.

The sun had just begun to set at Chavez Ravine when Mookie Betts did something hes done an MLB-best six times: he hit his third home run in a single game. The milestone for Betts might as well have been routine asbrushing your teeth or lacing up your shoes. At just 27-years-old Betts is oneof three Major Leaguers to have six three-homer games in their career. Theothers, Johnny Mize and Sammy Sosa were both in their late 30s when theyaccomplished the feat. Needless to say, it feels inevitable that Betts will break the MLB record for most three-homer games in a career. He still has over 12 years remaining on his contract with the Dodgers and will have plenty of opportunities to accomplish the feat again. Betts impact on the field for the Dodgers is undeniable. The 2018 American League MVP already leads the team in home runs 7, RBI 15, doubles 6, hits 23, runs 14, stolen bases 1 and is second in average .319. The ink on Betts mega-deal with the Dodgers is still not dry, but as a new LA resident hes now started to make an impact off the field as well. On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation LADF andBetts announced that they had partnered with Pull Up Neighbor to host agrab-and-go giveaway in Compton on Sunday.It seems to me they need the help the most, saidBetts on why he chose Compton as the city for his giveaway event.

LA is my home now andI definitely want to make an impact here.The giveaway will take place at the Compton Town Center from12:00 3:00PM and will be provide people with free hand sanitizer, reusableface masks, food boxes, and health screenings. The giveaway will also offerfree voter registration on site to encourage citizens to exercise their rightto vote in the upcoming general election on Nov. 3.I know people who have had the virus, and hearing differentstories we have to do what we can to help. I, along with Pull Up Neighbor, wantto help as many as we can with the essentials to stay healthy, as well withopportunities to register to vote, said Betts. Its animportant election year. Everyone needs to get out there and vote, and everyopinion matters. Making it easier for people to vote is definitely something Iwant to do.We are proud to partner with Mookieand Pull Up Neighbor to serve the Compton community, said Nichol Whiteman,Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation.

I want to make people happy.Although Betts is unable to attend the event in-person because of COVID-19 protocols and a game with the rival Anaheim Angels. Betts wants Angelenos to know that he plans on doing many more of these events for the Los Angeles community in the years to come.Hopefully I get to do more in person events next year, said Betts.
