The rookie right-hander was as good as advertised, consistently hitting 100 mph with his four-seam fastball.
The Dodgers scored six runs in the fifth inning to erase a 1-0 deficit. The Nationals got their only run against Miller on an RBI single by C.J. Abrams. That sequence also ended the inning, as Jason Heyward threw out the trailing runner, Corey Dickerson, trying to score on Abrams’ single as well.
J.D. Martinez had the big hit for the Dodgers, a three-run homer against Trevor Williams to cap their six-run rally. It was Martinez’s 11th home run of the season. The inning began when Heyward walked and went to third base when Abrams flubbed a routine grounder off Miguel Vargas’ bat. A sacrifice fly by James Outman scored Heyward, tying the game 1-1.
With two outs, Mookie Betts singled and Freddie Freeman followed with a two-run double down the right field line. Will Smith walked before Martinez crushed a fastball over the center field fence. David Peralta accounted for two of the Dodgers’ six hits. Victor Gonzalez, Justin Bruihl and Shelby Miller each threw a scoreless inning in relief of Miller.
