Center fielder Mookie Betts went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-0 win over the San Diego Padres.

Fantasy Impact:

Betts picked up a double for his only hit of the contest but he made the play of the day on defense. The Padres had runners on second and third with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning when Tommy Pham smacked a line drive to center field. Betts laid out to make a diving catch, robbing Pham, and sealing the win for the Dodgers. The 28-year-old superstar is now slashing .293/.408/.512 with two home runs, two RBI and a 5:7 K/BB ratio over 41 at-bats.
