Betts joins Ted Williams in record books with another 3-HR game

The Boston Red Sox exploded Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels, led by a three-home run game by star outfielder Mookie Betts.

In fact, Betts' three-dinger game - the third of the 25-year-old's career - ties the franchise record held by Ted Williams for most by a Red Sox hitter.

Betts' trio of home runs all came against different Angels pitchers.

Finally, Betts' last homer was the first offering he saw from Cam Bedrosian in the eighth inning:
