hit a three-run homer<\/a> in the third inning, and Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman went deep as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers pummeled the Washington Nationals 13-6 on Friday.<\/p>\nAndy Pages also homered for the Dodgers, but it was the top of their order \u2014 which had been struggling \u2014 that really broke out. Ohtani hadn\u2019t driven in a run all season before hitting a drive to right that tied the game at 3. Betts\u2019 two-run shot later that inning put Los Angeles ahead to stay.<\/p>\n
It was 9-4 after Freeman\u2019s two-run homer in the fifth. Tucker\u2019s first home run as a member of the Dodgers was a solo shot that made it 12-4 in the seventh.<\/p>\n
Miles Mikolas (0-2) allowed a career-high 11 runs on 11 hits in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Emmet Sheehan (1-0) gave up a three-run homer to CJ Abrams in the first, but the Nationals only scored once more in his 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Washington lost its home opener for the fifth straight year. This was the most runs the Nationals have allowed in a home opener since moving to Washington in 2005.<\/p>\n
Sheehan allowed four runs and seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 38 games dating to last season. He was able to keep it going despite being just 3 for 18 entering Friday\u2019s game. After his home run, he added a single the following inning. He also hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth.<\/p>\n
Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, who hit an RBI double in the fifth, was taken out after striking out in the sixth. Hernandez and Tucker had three hits each.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
Tyler Glasnow (0-0) starts for the Dodgers on Saturday against Washington\u2019s Jake Irvin (1-0).<\/p>\n
