Mookie Betts homers twice and Dodgers hit 4 in 8th inning of 8-2 win over Giants
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Mookie Betts homered twice and the Los Angeles Dodgers
went deep four times in the eighth inning of an 8-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Max Muncy and Kyle Tucker connected back-to-back in the eighth. Betts and Max
Muncy added two-out solo shots in a five-run inning as the NL West champions
rolled in a series opener between old rivals.
Tyler Glasnow (5-1) allowed two runs and three hits in six innings with a
season-high 10 strikeouts.
The home run barrage occurred on the 20th anniversary of the Dodgers'
four-plus-one game. Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin and Marlon Anderson
hit four consecutive homers in the bottom of the ninth inning --- the fourth
time in major league history the feat had been accomplished.
Giants reliever Philip Abner gave up all five runs in the eighth, which began
with the Dodgers leading 3-2. He became the second reliever in Giants history
to give up four homers in one inning.
The Giants (64-90) lost their 90th game, their most since 2017 when they
dropped 98.
Muncy's shot traveled 420 feet and Tucker's went 403 feet, both to
right-center. Betts also homered leading off the game.
Josue De Paula, a 21-year-old Dodgers rookie finishing his first week in the
major leagues, lined a two-out double to right field for the go-ahead run in
the sixth. He also singled and scored the tying run on Teoscar Hernndez's RBI
single in the fifth.
Edwin Daz struck out two in a scoreless ninth in his return from the injured
list.
The Giants tied the game at 1 on Jung Hoo Lee's leadoff homer in the second and
went ahead 2-1 on Jonah Cox's RBI single with two outs in the third.
Giants starter Cesar Perdomo gave up two runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings
with one strikeout. Jason Foley (3-2) took the loss in relief.
Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge was a late scratch with a head laceration.
