Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts continued his red-hot form against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, hitting his third go-ahead home run of the season to give his team a 2-1 lead.
The reigning World Series winners were trailing 1-0 to the Braves after the fifth inning. However, Betts took the matter into his own hands, getting hold of reigning NL Cy Young winner Chris Sale for a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning. He was also hit by a pitch from the veteran Braves pitcher earlier in the game.
The Dodgers added another run with Will Smith's RBI single following Betts' third home run of the season.

Fans reacted to the Dodgers star's strong start to the season despite shedding almost 20 pounds due to an illness that caused him to miss the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs.
"Skinny Mookie is better than Soto and Judge," alleged a fan.
"80 lbs still whopping a**," wrote another fan referencing Betts' drastic weight loss due to illness.
"Skinny Mookie has powers," a fan wrote.
Several fans mocked the Braves for their abysmal record this season.
"Braves fans in shambles," mocked a fan.
"BRAVES LMAOOOOOOOO."
The Dodgers won 3-1 on the night, handing the Braves their second loss of the series and the sixth consecutive loss of the season, while the defending champions remain unbeaten.
Mookie Betts' heroics maintain Dodgers' perfect start to the season
Mookie Betts missed the two games in Tokyo after returning home early due to an illness. He didn't feature in the team's Spring Training games against the Los Angeles Angels last month.
However, Betts recovered in time for the team's season opener at home against the Detroit Tigers. Betts hit two go-ahead home runs against the Tigers on Friday, including a walk-off homer to seal an 8-5 come-from-behind victory.
"That was super special," Betts said. "I know it sounds super selfish, but more for me. I was really proud of myself for coming in and playing underweight. Not that it's a big deal playing underweight, but just the fight that I've kind of been through -- the ups and downs, and the nights I'm just crying because I'm sick, and my wife's there holding me. That's where the emotion comes from."
The Dodgers swept the Cubs in Tokyo, the Tigers last week and are just one win away from sweeping the Braves in the ongoing two-game series to maintain their perfect start to the season.
