Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts has been ruled out of the two-game Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs because of an illness, manager Dave Roberts said Monday.

On the Cubs' side, players like Shota Imanaga and Seiya Suzuki will get a chance to play in their homeland.

TOKYO – The Tokyo Dome video board lit up Sunday night with the words “ CUBS WIN,” flashing between English and Japanese. Clark, the team mascot, waved a “W” flag in center field. And “Go Cubs Go” played over the loudspeakers, celebrating the team’s first exhibition game win.
