It's great to see," manager Dave Roberts said of the Dodgers' defensive success. "Defense, sometimes, there is a ceiling individually. But I think that the floor sometimes isn't raised as high as it should be, and that's because of effort. "And our guys have put forth the effort to raise the floor and the ceiling, coincidentally. And that goes with pitching, so I think it's not secret that our pitching has been so much better in the last two weeks and that's because our defense has also been stellar."
Dave Roberts marvels at Mookie Betts' progress at shortstop. Betts' success at shortstop is nothing short of remarkable as he had primarily played right field for the first 10 seasons of his MLB career. Betts was originally slated to be the Dodgers' starting second baseman this season, but moved to shortstop at the end of Spring Training due to Gavin Lux's defensive struggles at the position.
