J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer and Freddie Freeman had a two-run double during the Dodgers’ six-run fifth inning, and Los Angeles rolled to a 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.
Bobby Miller yielded four hits and a run over six innings in his second consecutive victory to begin his career with the NL West-leading Dodgers, who returned from a mediocre 10-game road trip and posted another lopsided win at home, where they’ve won 12 of 13 since late April.
Miller provided some much-needed rest for the Dodgers’ overtaxed bullpen with another strong start for a team missing three top starters due to injuries. The right-handed rookie with the 100-mph fastball struck out four and retired 12 of his final 14 batters after Washington scored its only run in the second.
Lane Thomas extended his on-base streak to a career-best 25 games and his hitting streak to a career-best 14 games with an eighth-inning single for the Nationals, who have lost 11 of 14 to the Dodgers over the past three seasons. After managing just two hits in the first four innings, Los Angeles tied it in the fifth when Heyward drew a leadoff walk and advanced on Abrams’ error on Miguel Vargas’ probable double-play grounder.
