Nine-run seventh lifts Dodgers to win

Justin Turner homered for one of his three hits and Mookie Betts rapped a go-ahead tworun single during Los Angeles’ nine-run seventh inning, as the visiting Dodgers rallied for a seventh consecutive victory, 10-5 over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.

Turner’s solo homer in the fourth and three other hits were all Los Angeles managed against Washington star Max Scherzer through the first six innings. However, once Scherzer, who struck out eight, exited the game, the Dodgers’ bats came alive.

Down 3-1 in the seventh, Los Angeles got within a run on Albert Pujols’ RBI infield single against Sam Clay (0-1). After the Dodgers loaded the bases, Betts gave the visitors a 4-3 lead on his two-run single off Austin Voth.

Max Muncy plated two more with a single and Chris Taylor made it 8-3 with a twoout, two-run single. A.J. Pollock completely broke the game open with his two-run homer to right field to make it a 10-3 contest.

The Dodgers, who were honored at The White House on Friday for their 2020 World Series title, have outscored Washington 29-12 while winning all five meetings this season.
