Though the Dodgers lost to the Padres on Thursday, Mookie Betts won a new car for hitting the first home run of the 2024 MLB season.
Mookie Betts has hit hundreds of home runs in his MLB career, but his latest might have been the first to come with a prize. The Los Angeles Dodgers star blasted the first home run of the 2024 MLB season in Thursday's Seoul Series game against the San Diego Padres, a 400-foot shot to left field off reliever Michael King in the fifth inning. As a result, Betts will receive an IONIQ 5 electric vehicle from Hyundai.
The two-run shot by Betts was part of his 4-for-5 day at the plate. He drove in six runs, but that wasn't enough as the Padres got to Yoshinobu Yamamoto early in their 15-11 win over the Dodgers. Yamamoto gave up five runs in the first inning of his MLB debut, a hole that the Dodgers never recovered from, although Betts' infield single in the eighth inning cut the Padres' lead to one. Los Angeles took the first game of the two-game set on Wednesday, winning 5-2 as Betts went 2-for-4.
