DENVER — Mookie Betts endured a fairly miserable first half. He offered a self-assessment in one word: “bad.”

Beyond whatever statistics might not have measured up to his traditional levels of excellence, he was hurt. He had nagging injuries to his back, forearm, hip and shoulder. He even missed a game because of an allergic reaction.

Two games into a second half that had gotten off to a blistering start, Betts was interrupted by a flareup of the hip injury.

In the seventh inning of a 9-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies, Betts hit his third double of the evening but slowed between first and second base, then left the game with what the Dodgers said was irritation in his right hip. Betts said he had first felt discomfort in the hip earlier in the game.
