Betts laments playoff struggles: My at-bats are 'all terrible'

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was left searching for answers following another hitless performance in a Game 2 loss to the San Diego Padres.

"They're all outs. So, they're all terrible," Betts said postgame Sunday when asked about his at-bats during the 10-2 defeat, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. "I don't know really what to say about it. I'm giving my best, doing my best. Obviously, it's not good enough right now."

The eight-time All-Star is mired in a 3-for-44 postseason slump dating back to Game 4 of the 2021 NLCS. He's gone hitless in six at-bats to begin this year's NLDS.

Betts thought he tied the game in the first inning with a homer, but Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar robbed the 2023 NL MVP-runner up with a stunning catch.

"I mean, it didn't matter," Betts said about his near miss, according to Dylan Hernández of the Los Angeles Times.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts downplayed the lack of production from his 32-year-old superstar.

"It's two games," Roberts said. "I'm not worried."

The best-of-five series now shifts to San Diego's Petco Park at one win apiece with Game 3 set for Tuesday.
