Mookie Betts hit his career-high 36th home run, David Peralta went 3 for 4 and drove in a pair of runs as the Dodgers routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1.
With 50 doubles, the Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman could challenge the MLB all-time single-season record held by an unknown nicknamed the Earl of Doublin’.In games since June 2, a span interrupted by his IL stint, Kershaw is 6-0 with a 1.44 ERA, a 50-inning stretch in which he has given up eight earned runs and 31 hits, struck out 45 and walked 11.
Peralta rifled an RBI double past first baseman Christian Walker to score Betts, who led off with an infield single, and Heyward followed with an RBI double to right-center to score Muncy and Peralta for a 3-0 lead. They added two more runs in the third for a 6-0 lead, Muncy leading off with a double to left-center and scoring on Peralta’s single to center.Heyward grounded into a 4-6-3 double play, but James Outman singled to right and scored on Taylor’s double into the left-field corner, the fourth two-out RBI of the game giving the Dodgers a major league-high 293 two-out RBIs on the season.
