Jon Berti errors cost Cubs against Dodgers in Tokyo

Jon Berti, a former New York Yankees player, made a costly error during his first game with the Chicago Cubs against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game took place in Japan, and Berti started at second base. In the fifth inning, with the score tied at 1-1, Berti's throw went over the first baseman’s head while attempting to complete a double play. This mistake allowed Shohei Ohtani to score and extended the inning for the Dodgers. They capitalized on the error and ended up winning the game 4-1. This matchup was significant for Berti, who recently expressed his frustration over the Dodgers' disrespect towards his former team after the World Series. He had criticized them for mocking the Yankees’ playing skills following a major comeback that led to a Yankees loss in the series. Berti, who did not play in the World Series but was part of the Yankees' postseason roster, will look to improve in the next game against the Dodgers. The Cubs and Dodgers will face off again for Game 2 of the Tokyo Series.
