Mookie Betts watched his drive sail over Dodger Stadium's left-field fence late Friday night, and the emotions spilled out of him as if he had delivered a walk-off in October, not March. An emphatic raised finger was followed by a forceful fist bump then an emphatic toss of his helmet and a deafening roar as he pranced toward his teammates at home plate.

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.

Mookie Betts is no longer ailing, finally able to keep food down and eating up a storm to pack on the weight that he dropped while battling a stomach virus during the first two weeks of the season.
