Mookie Betts leads off the game with a homer for the 38th time in his career, Miguel Vargas adds a two-run home run in the seventh inning and Dustin May throws five innings in a 7-3 win.
LOS ANGELES ― The Roman philosopher Seneca is said to have defined luck as “what happens what preparation meets opportunity.”
The Dodgers caught a few breaks en route to a 7-2 victory over the Cardinals before 48,138 at Dodger Stadium. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and kicked off a six-game homestand by lifting the Dodgers back above .500. The Dodgers scored in more traditional fashions too. Mookie Betts led off the game with a homer for the 38th time in his career, the 10th-most in major league history. Miguel Vargas hit a two-run home run, his first of the season, in the seventh inning.
Betts halved the Dodgers’ deficit with his fourth home run of the season. Later in the first inning, Heyward smoked an RBI single into right field to score another run, helped in part by an error by Lars Nootbaar.
