In the eighth, his first homer of the season put the Dodgers in front for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now I\u2019m just having fun hitting 160-pound homers,\u201d he said, smiling.<\/p>\n<p>Betts went 3 for 5 with three runs and four RBIs on a night when the Dodgers received their glittering World Series rings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were joking around that that first home run he hit was probably his best hope that he\u2019s got right now with all the strength that he\u2019s got,\u201d third baseman Max Muncy said, \u201cbut he one-upped it so we were all wrong on that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Betts traveled with the team to Japan for their season-opening two-game series with the Chicago Cubs. But he returned early, flying back before ever suiting up because of the virus that caused him to lose about 15 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m at 165 now, so another seven or eight pounds will help me a lot but 10 would be ideal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>How does he plan to gain?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep eating. Just eating all day,\u201d he said. \u201cMy chef and wife, both of them are doing enough cooking. I\u2019m eating during the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Betts couldn\u2019t keep any food down when he was feeling his worst and initially not knowing what was wrong added to his stress.<\/p>\n<p>So when his game-winning shot off Beau Brieske sailed into the left-field pavilion, Betts pounded his fist as he rounded the bases, his head full of thoughts and his teammates waiting for him at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust the fight that I\u2019ve kind of been through, the ups and downs, the nights where I\u2019m just crying because I\u2019m sick,\u201d he said. \u201cMy wife there and just kind of holding me. That\u2019s really where that emotion kind of comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Betts raised his right arm in the air, tossed his helmet toward the dugout and hopped a few times as he approached the plate. His teammates celebrated by dousing him in water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t say enough about Mookie,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cHe won a ballgame for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Betts came to the plate in the 10th after back-to-back singles by Will Smith and Shohei Ohtani, who took second on defensive indifference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pressure was kind of off,\u201d Betts said. \u201cWe were going to get another at-bat with Freddie (Freeman) there and we all know what Freddie does in those type of situations. It was just kind of relax, if you do, cool, if you don\u2019t that\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Betts did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it sounds super-selfish,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I was really proud of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic LOS ANGELES \u2014 Mookie Betts is no longer ailing, finally able to keep food down and eating up a storm to pack on the weight he dropped while battling a stomach virus during the first two weeks of the season.
