World Series highlights: Dodgers vs Rays Game 1 summary
The LA Dodgers started their World Series campaign with a thoroughly dominating victory, with Mookie Betts contributing in every way possible for his side. Although the biggest takeaway from the Dodgers vs Rays Game 1 will be the performance of left-hander Clayton Kershaw, who seemed to be in complete control as he delivered six innings of one-run ball. Kershaw was admirably supported by Cody Bellinger and Mookie Betts, as the LA Dodgers gained an early advantage in the World Series.
