Clayton Kershaw pitched two-hit ball over five innings, Mookie Betts hit a two-run double that set a record of 105 RBIs for a leadoff hitter, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 7-0.
In his last seven games, Martinez has been on another planet, he's batting .400 with five homers and 12 RBI over that span.
Freeman got his major league-leading 57th double of the season in the fifth, driving in Austin Barnes. Muncy's RBI single extended the lead to 5-0. Freeman's double extended the Dodgers franchise record in that category, and moved him into 11th all-time for most two-baggers in a single season. He's just three doubles shy of becoming the first player to have at lease 60 doubles in a single-season since Charlie Gehringer and Joe Medwick did it in 1936.
Freeman singled in the seventh for his career-high 203rd hit, then stole his 22nd base in 23 attempts. The Giants had runners at the corners in the fifth after Marco Luciano's leadoff double and a walk to Luis Mato with two outs. David Peralta made a diving, inning-ending catch on Austin Slater's fly ball to left that potentially saved two runs. Kershaw looked up at his wife, Ellen, and children watching from a suite and smiled and waved as he reached the dugout.
