Mookie Betts homers twice and Dodgers hit 4 in 8th inning of 8-2 win over Giants
Betts hit two homers and Los Angeles scored five runs in the eighth, with Tyler Glasnow striking out 10 in six innings.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 8-2 at Dodger Stadium, powered by Mookie Betts' two home runs and a four-run eighth inning.
- The Dodgers maintain an outside shot at their fourth 100-win season in six years while leading the Atlanta Braves by four games for the league's second-best record.
- Rookie Josue provided a go-ahead double in the sixth, while Max Muncy, Kyle Tucker, and Will Smith homered in the eighth; Tyler Glasnow earned the win, striking out 10 batters over six innings.
- Securing the league's second-best record would guarantee a first-round playoff bye and five extra days for injured players, though the Dodgers still trail the Milwaukee Brewers by two games for home-field advantage.
- Closer Edwin returned from the injured list Friday, striking out two, while the team hopes to activate Andy Pages on Tuesday and remains optimistic about Blake Snell and Right-hander Roki Sasaki's return timelines.
