The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a three-game sweep against the Colorado Rockies, bolstered by timely contributions from Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. Despite a slump in performance, their pivotal sixth-inning plays were crucial for the team's victory. Betts and Freeman, typically consistent hitters, have recently been struggling, raising concerns about their production. Betts has struggled with a .191 average, while Freeman is at .160 over their respective slumps. Manager Dave Roberts remains unconcerned long-term, but both players express frustration with their performance, indicating a need for improvement.
"I've been frustrated for about six weeks now," Freeman said recently. "If I knew [what was wrong], I'd fix it. But I'm working hard and trying to turn it around."
"For much of the last four years, that would've been an unremarkable sequence... But Thursday, their sixth-inning heroics had a different feel."
