Ever since Mookie Betts broke his hand and the Dodgers moved Shohei Ohtani to the leadoff spot, he’s taken on the dual roles as a table-setter and a run-producer.

The Angels got a scare when shortstop Zach Neto had to leave the game after slipping awkwardly stopping a ground ball in the fourth inning. Neto, who was diagnosed with left calf tightness, said he was hurt when he fouled a ball off his leg in the second inning, and he aggravated it when he tried to plant on his left leg. Manager Ron Washington said he expects Neto to be able to play when the Angels return to action on Monday, after an off day on Sunday.
“Just caught too much plate,” Plesac said. “He put a good swing on it. He’s been seeing the ball really well. He’s got like a 2.000 OPS in his last two weeks, so I should have pitched around him a little better in that situation.”
