Mookie Betts hit home runs during the first and second innings, helping the Dodgers beat the Royals in Kansas City Friday.
Betts, who had two doubles, a walk and scored three runs in Thursday night’s 14-run, 18-hit shellacking of the Rockies, followed Miguel Rojas in the top of the third with a 402-foot line drive that stayed just inside the left-field foul pole for his team-leading 22nd homer and a 2-0 lead.
Miller yielded another run in the bottom of the fourth when Maikel Garcia singled with one out, stole second and scored on former Huntington Beach High standout Nick Pratto’s RBI double to right-center that pulled the Royals to within 4-2.J.D. Martinez had four hits, including a home run, and the Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 14-3 on Thursday night after a weather delay.
The Royals parlayed a stolen base into a run for a third time in the sixth inning when Garcia singled with two outs, stole second, Pratto was hit by a pitch and Freddy Fermin rolled an RBI single to cut the deficit to 5-3. Dodgers left-hander Caleb Ferguson got pinch-hitter Edward Olivares to ground into an inning-ending fielder’s choice.
