Mookie Betts showcased his talent in the Dodgers' 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 4 of the NLDS, hitting a 401-foot home run and an RBI single. This performance helped tie the series at two games each, setting up a decisive Game 5.

Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of Betts being himself rather than trying to be a postseason hero. Betts, who had struggled recently, found confidence through his teammates and a focus on positive energy.
